dance to the beat

today i got to see some radioactive image of a beating heart. we were supposed to go for imaging only but we saw cardiovascular lab on the directory and figured we could go ask if they would let us see see cause we had an extra hour. we thought lab only mar. then after much persuasion, the nurses finally let us in and we couldn't believe that we got to see a real surgery. it was an angiogram to look for blockages in the heart using radiation. so they pump this radioactive liquid through the guy's veins and it can be detected by the radioactive machine thing - this procedure's called fluoroscopy. so you could see how the heart beated and i tell you, i was seriously so amazed. like, this is life you know! such a miracle to see a beating heart like that even if it was just a black and white image. and i think that i was more sure and excited then than i can remember, that i want to do medicine.

and that i think, taught me so much about growing up and keeping all my idealistic opinions (like from the previous post) but to always find ways to make miracles happen everyday. thank You God for this experience, i believe You led us there for a reason, according to Your plan. :D

and i realized, that miracles happen everyday. it's a miracle that my heart beats at all. it's a miracle that the sun rises again each morning. it's a miracle that a baby is born every moment of every day somewhere in the world. it's a miracle that someone somewhere has found Jesus. it's a miracle that we have friends and family. it's a miracle we're all alive. so live life always remembering the miracles around us.

i'm gonna start thanking God each day for a specific thing that happened that day. today, i thank God for letting us see a beating heart. i thank You for the chance to go pasar malam with friends and i thank You that kat drove me home safely. :) Amen! :D


still believing in miracles,
candice :)
