be humbled.

This is why I want to be a doctor.

I was googling pictures for my honors project that I'm doing in my spanish class that I contracted to be honors. I have to do a presentation on how the Spanish language relates to my major. I'm focusing on how Spanish relates to being pre-med because i want to do medical missions overseas. So I google "medical missions" and this picture pops up. I click on it, and I instantly start bawling. You can see joy radiating out of this child's heart. Most of us don't have that kind of joy and we have a lot more to be thankful for than he does. This just reminded me of why God put me on this earth. To care for those who can't care for themselves. This could not have come at a better time because I've been questioning my mental abilities and doubting that I can get into and survive medical school. Then God shows me something like this and it's like he's saying, no, I want this for you and for your life and I'm calling you to something more. I want YOU to take care of these children in ways that their parents and government can't. I want to reveal myself to these children through you.

For pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. James 1:27
