I have to be honest, the last few weeks have been tough. I never thought I would come to a point in medical school where I was actually tired of studying. And what makes things that much more frustrating, I’m not even really hating to study, nor am I un-excited about medical school, nor am I un-interested in the subject material. It’s just a weird sort of feeling where I’m just easily distracted from everything – whether it’s studying, playing games, reading books, or whatever.

Yet, despite the somewhat discouraging season this seems to be, I can’t help but wonder at how God has continued to show Himself faithful. Even when I am not, even when I would rather sleep in than spend some quiet time with Him, He still remains. Psalm 65:2 says, “When we were overwhelmed by sins, You forgave our transgressions.” How awesome a promise, that if Christ is in us and we are in Him, we can live free from the shackles of our past deeds – even the past deeds of 2 minutes ago!

So even though I’ve felt completely distracted and removed from those things about which I am most passionate, I can and will still hold fast to the Truth – that God remains constant and timeless, and His nature never changes. His love endures forever!

When the laughter fails to comfort,
When my heart aches, Lord are You there?
When confusion is all around me
And the darkness is my closest friend
Still I will praise You, Jesus, praise You
