If you have ever trained for a 5K running marathon, studied countless hours to take the NCLEX or MCAT, carried a baby in your womb, prepared for the wedding of your dreams, prayed for something to come or happen for many months or years and that good end result did not or has not yet come... this is for you.

| Fresh Flower Bouquet on my Wedding Day |
I know what it is like to study. I know what it is like to meet every expectation and qualification of admissions in higher education and still be told that you did not do enough. I also know what it is like to wait on God and feel that your tears, prayers and desire to still believe His promises are just not doing "enough". Three years ago around this time I was a newlywed and this is when the journey to begin medical school began.
It was not easy to be rejected and told "no" by several admissions counselors and it was hard to hold onto a dream that I began to doubt personally. I did everything possible to improve my application and dried off the tears and got back on my feet to keep moving forward and not allow the "no's" to stop me.
That is when believing God meant more than just saying so to others or singing about believing with the latest Christian song. This time believing meant I was willing to take the doors that God opened up even if they did not have something to do with medicine and becoming a doctor. It was then that my real journey to enter medical school began.
