Janice Mitchell, MD


Today I will graduate from medical school.

I cannot believe this day has come. When I was a little girl I had a Fisher Price doctor kit. I took good care of my baby dolls. I even delivered my own babies. Here is some evidence...

5 years old and about 42 weeks pregnant--Haha!

5 years old making house calls

Today I will leave my short white coat of medical school education and don the stitches of the long white coat I have earned.

Today I will become Janice Mitchell, MD.

Thanks be to God, the One who keeps me from stumbling and presents me blameless before His throne, my Rock and my Refuge, my Refiner and Disciplinarian, my Lover and closest Friend, my Creator and Sustainer.

What an incredible day!

Shout for joy to God, all the earth;
sing the glory of his name;
give to him glorious praise!
Say to God, "How awesome are your deeds!

Come and see what God has done:
he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

Bless our God, O peoples;
let the sound of his praise be heard,
For you, O God, have tested us;
you have tried us as silver is tried.
You brought us into the net;
you laid a crushing burden on our backs;
you let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and through water;
yet you have brought us out to a place of abundance.

Come and hear, all you who fear God,
and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

But truly God has listened;
he has attended to the voice of my prayer.

~Psalm 66:1-3,5,8-12,16,19~
