when your life changed?
i started thinking about that this morning at the gym. they were talking about the inauguration and i considered how much this is rocking the obama girls' lives. now, i don't think a life changing moment has to be as big as becoming President.
it can be a good moment or a bad one. i think there are multiple moments throughout our lives that can change our trajectory. sometimes they are just small things that guide decisions. i thinking back on things and i thought of a few right away (there are many more):
1. Trip to Iceland. i went on a missions trip to iceland for the entire summer after my freshman year of high school. it ignited my love for travel and for different cultures. it also developed my leadership skills...i have had many trips since that point.
2. Having my grandparents move to Michigan. we never lived close to them growing up and their health began to fail. i took a year off in between undergrad and PA school and it was such an incredible time with them. my grandfather was an incredible man with such a heart for greece and the less fortunate. my grandmother has Alzheimer's now and is still a bright spot in my life, although she cannot call me by name now.
3. A moment in the dining hall at Taylor University. it is too complex to go into here, but yet so simple. i just realized that i was living my life out of my own strength. it was in that moment that i realized that i didn't want to go to medical school. i was headed towards med school for the status and that wasn't going to satisfy me....thus, i'm your PA! i'm so thankful for that decision!
there are many more, but that is just a snippet....
what are your defining moments?
