A Change in Direction

Monday, January 17th

With Justin's senior year of Medical School nearly behind him (graduation is less than four months away!), our lives have been full of anticipation, uncertainty, and contemplation. The biggest challenge of this year was to decide on a specialty, which we thought would be ophthalmology; however, the Lord started working in Justin's heart in late October, leading him to feel that another specialty might be his calling. Justin did a rotation in anesthesiology during that time, and really began to enjoy it. As a fleece, he applied to several anesthesia residency programs (in addition to our ophthalmology programs) to see if they would be interested in interviewing him. So, for the last three months, he has interviewed with both anesthesia and ophthalmology residency programs - which is why he has been on the road and in the air so much. After much prayer, we have decided to change our specialty choice to anesthesiology, and we couldn't be more excited and more at peace with our decision. The Lord has made it very clear through multiple events, that this is where HE wants us to be! All that's left now is Match Day which is March 17th - this is the day when we see which program/hospital chose us and where we will be moving in June! Can't wait! :)
