Romans 8:28

Posted in Uncategorized at 7:37 am by Perry

There have been some great things happening to me over the past week that I would like to share:

1) First and foremost, being accepted into Wright State University’s Boonshoft School of Medicine.

2) Saturday I received a letter in the mail from financial aid notifying me that I had received a $1,750 scholarship.

3) I got “A”s on all of my final exams which gave me straight “A”s again this quarter.

4) My brother and sister-in-law offered to give us an used car for an amazing price (about $1.00) just when we were expecting to have to buy a new car.

5) I was able to celebrate my birthday with my best friends and my wife.

It just seems to me that God has been working in many ways evidently in my life. I have also been thinking that with all God has been doing over the past year I must be being prepared to be used according to His will and divine plan. I realize that, as a professing Christian, I can not spend my life practicing medicine in a rural setting witnessing to nominal Christians as I once pictured myself doing. That picture has me as the center and not God’s glory. I now know that, as a physician, I will be granted opportunities that many other missionaries might never have and I need to use those opportunities to glorify God, not myself.
