Memory lane

So today I am still fully enjoying what is left of my Christmas break before heading back into the clinic to finish out my last 6 months of PA school (eek!).  Mark and I have decided that we own too much "stuff".  So spring cleaning came early to the Gibson household this year.  We have gone through our clothes and decided if we haven't worn it in the last 6 months, we don't need it.  We have been able to donate 1 HUGE bin of clothes, one garbage bag of clothes, books, a playstation, picture frames, etc, etc to Good Will.  And while I am quick to nominate Kelly McDonald as "hoarder of the year", I found that I too hold on to things perhaps too long.  While doing my cleaning, I came across a folder of school information.  In it, I had information about the MCAT test prep course that I took during mine and Mark's first year of marriage.  I also came across the dates that were available for me to take the test.  Well, its no secret that I decided not to go the medical school route.  I even decided not to take the MCAT.  As I fliped through the folder, I found a page where I had listed PA schools.  I had info on AB, Marietta, UK, and others.  I also had listed the requirements I had to meet for the University of Kentucky.  As I continued sifting through stuff, I found school work from the sociology class and medical terminology class I had to take to meet the prerequisite for UK's program.  I also found encouraging cards from my husband all along the way.  What a great reminder of God's faithfulness.  I had forgotten all those little details and I praise God for the reminder of where I have been and how he has never failed me.
