Step 1 Passed

We received some great news today!! David passed Step 1 of boards!!!

For those of you who have seen or not seen David these past few months... you know how hard he has worked. This test covered everything he has learned the first 2 years of medical school...that is alot of information. They even give them a month off to study for the boards, so you know it is important. David put in so much time and energy into studying and his hard work paid off! Not only did he pass, but he did very well on his test making a score higher than any practice test he took. Med school is not an easy process and can be discouraging at times. We were reminded many times of Jeremiah 29:11-13

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."

This is one of our favorite verses, and I am sure it will continue to be as we see where God leads us in the years to come. Thank you all for your prayers for David. God is so good and we are so thankful for his blessings!
