The past two days I've been at the hospital a lot. Why you may ask? Well I am applying to ultrasound college and one of the requirements for doing so is to do what they call a "Career Assessment form" or what us students call shadowing. Sonography applicants are required to have at least 4 hours of watching Ultrasound techs preform different types of ultrasounds on patients at the hospital. For the past two days I have been doing exactly that. :-) What I wanted to share though is how amazing it is... I have in the past shadowed before and it has always been an amazing experience, but this year God showed me His amazing handiwork afresh. The first patient I observed was a 5 year old girl. I immediately picked up on several issues that she has, but could not say anything because of regulations. In this moment I felt God telling me that He was in control, that He made her like that for a reason. Through watching the different parts of her body in action He reminded me of the verse from Psalms 139:
13 For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b]
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
He has created us to be marvelous, even in our crazy imperfections. There is no mistake.
Anyway I enjoyed doing that even though it was SUPER tiring. I had a break in between patients and was told to go do something sooooooooooo I went to my fave place! THE LIBRARY!!!!!!!!!! :-D I was looking at books when an old friend tackled me and we started talking then we sat down and continued our conversation. As we were talking 2 more friends came up that we had not seen in awhile and it was so great to catch up :-) Any who that was not all but I'm tired so night y'all!

Life never slows...
Life is insane... it seems like just when I am going to get a break something happens. :-) God is good through it all as always and I am grateful for it. The doctors have finally figured out part of my problem: I was diagnosed with Gastropresis. It is basically the slowing of the emptying of the stomach. Ahhh see that makes sense! I was always sick, getting sick to the stomach after eating, being nauseous, having severe pain in the abdominal area... so on and so forth. I am currently on a medication for it and am also on a diet. It is not fun and I might be stuck with it the rest of my life, but that is ok... :-) I'll survive!
Other than the medical stuff I have been working on applying to colleges and continuing with my current college courses. I never seem to have time~even to sleep! Haha, I do sleep and am working on sleeping more but there never is enough time in a day. We have had a bit of snow lately making it hard for me to get places (like work) and our tractor is not helping by not starting... :-P But yeah in short that is the major stuff :-) Here are some recent pictures:
