My C.R.a.S.H. (Part I): The Preview

There are certain periods of life that we remember well.  Sometimes it's an amazing concert, a sunny vacation, or a perfect "Kodak moment" sunset.  Or, perhaps it's a tough time in life.  Times when we feel disconnected, alone, or frustrated.  Either way, they stick with us.

Last week, I lived in both of these extremes.  I'm pretty sure I could write a book on all the life lessons I learned.  Instead, I'm going to write out the story and lessons here, for all to see (because who has time to write a book?)

I'm going to be calling this short series CRaSH, or Career Reassessment and Some Hardships.  (Doesn't CRaSH sound better?)  The focal point of everything that happened was in my future career.  When I was honest with myself, I could not answer this question: "Am I really passionate about medicine?"  But, I'm getting ahead of myself. 

Through this time of doubt, frustration, and searching, I believe that the Lord purposefully was teaching me something (a lot of things!)  Through writing this story, I want to share what I've learned about:

• Where we get our satisfaction in life
• The importance of Community
• How abundantly God wants to bless all areas of our life
• The issue of 'hiding' our problems from others.
• And more...

I'm really excited to share this story with everyone.  I think this is not only beneficial for readers, but also for me to solidify exactly what happened last week.  I'm posting these as soon as they're written, and I hope to have the first part up this week!  So stay tuned...
