I’ve been meaning to blog for a while, but life seems to continue to get in the way.
On May 6th, I graduated from Georgia College (kind of)!!! This summer I am completing my degree by interning at a Physical Therapy Clinic, Neurosport. I am there for about 40 hours a week and it is hard for me to make time to do anything. I don’t know how adults do it, honestly. Props to y’all.
The first day I hated it. I felt like I was being thrown into something I didn’t think I wanted to do.
At first I had a really hard time finding my purpose in this clinic and every day seemed the same and I really felt like there was no point in me being there.
Each day I talk to people of all ages from all different walks of life. Now I have more of an idea of what’s going on, which makes my days go by smoother and faster.
I wanted to be a physical therapist for the past four years, and then at the beginning of senior year I wasn’t so sure. I can’t really tell you why because I don’t know. I don’t know how the Lord wants to use me throughout my life.
I don’t know where He wants to use me.
But I am no accident. He put me on this planet for a specific purpose. Maybe it’s being a physical therapist, maybe it’s not.
Here I am, working 40 hours a week at an internship, not getting paid, and doing something I don’t really see myself doing for the rest of my life, but the Lord wants me here. From 9AM-6PM every day I am trying my hardest to serve the patients and PTs and Neurosport to the best of my ability, with a smile on my face.
Every day I get to know people a little better and serve them in some sort of way. It is in no way shape or form glorified working at Neurosport, but I love to serve others. I enjoy getting to knowthe the hearts of the patients and my coworkers each day and being able to serve them in some sort of way.
My time at Neurosport is no less important than my time will be during my adventures around the World. People need Jesus’ love everywhere we go: the cashier at Publix, your doctor, your mailman, your classmates and even your teachers. We are all walking through life and as Christians we are here to be a light to everyone.
And this goes for you too. You are where you are because the Lord wants you there. It is our job to take advantage of where we are and who we are surrounded by.
Right now I am surrounded my PTs, techs, and patients for most of my day, so by job right now is to be a light to these people.
Be where your feet are and shine the light of Jesus’ love to those around you wherever you are.
Psalm 118:24, ESV This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Colossians 4:5-6, ESV Walk in wisdom toward outsiders, making the best use of the time. Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
