Dove Reunion

I met up with my teammates from Dove. Alex cooked food for all of us, and the brand team was there (Alex, myself, Trina, Irene, Charles, Neil, Cherry, Ms Bambs,  Ayra, Dimple). The laughter was quick and lasting, and friendships were renewed that night. It was fun to reminisce about Dove.

I think we’re all thankful for that experience in our lives, when we all worked together to make something really wonderful. I think the brand was an excuse to share ourselves with each other, be with each other, take care of each other.

I was looking at everybody, and I was happy to see that everybody was really growing and blooming. In some parts I felt I wasn’t growing as quickly, or perhaps as much as my friends in Dove.

I know for a fact that Medicine is really where I want to be. That’s something I know is real and true. But at times I get impatient with the wait.

Lord, help. At times when I see my friends successful and moving ahead with their careers I feel envious. Envious because I know I was part of that group, and that I could have been moving ahead with them had I simply stayed.

But I know deep down that that kind of life is not for me. I know it. I’ve been there. And I know I will look for ways to serve others. I know that this path, however long and arduous it is, is the right one for me. I’m just getting impatient at times.

Neil reminded me to ‘enjoy the journey as much as the destination’. I think I’ve been too focused on what lies ahead that I forget that the journey is as important as the destination. I realize that the relationships I build now are most important.

I need to love this part of my life, too. Not just where I’m headed. I need to love the gifts God has granted me.

I have committed to live in love. This life, this time of my life, is important and has purpose.
