here's one i am really liking. :)
we are learning manual lymph drainage at school. at first, i was kind of looking forward to it because i know several people who have had problems with their lymphatic system, or who have had nodes removed. i thought it would be cool to learn about it, if for no other reason than to gain a little more understanding of what they go through.
... then we started learning about it. normally, i really enjoy learning. not so with mld. it has been super confusing and difficult to pick up because my instructor is trying to teach us something that she doesn't really know. as soon as she confessed this, things changed. it was like she wasn't trying to pretend to know everything already, and that took a huge weight off of her, and it also helped us to understand why things were not being presented very clearly.
i am back on board with learning the lymphatic system. since the big reveal, this unit has been a team learning effort. we have been going over and discussing and looking up pretty much everything that has to do with the world of lymph. investigating and doing are two of the ways that i learn best, so i'm loving this. also, it's kind of fun to teach your teacher. ;)
i just have to say again, how amazing our bodies are. God created us to work so perfectly...i am truly in awe, and fall deeper and deeper the more i learn. i love it, and i'm going to be sad when this class ends. lately, i have been feeling like a&p is like a bible study or something. i am discovering more and more how creative my Abba is, and how much i don't know...about much of anything. there are so many amazing things out there to discover..such intricate detail hidden inside of things that may seem ordinary. sigh... it's sort of hard to explain to some of my classmates why i feel anatomy class is such a spiritual experience. :)
nuggets of love for today:
“How many are your works, O Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number-living things both large and small.”Psalm 104: 24-25
“Ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.” Job 12:7-10
this is what makes me smile:
