My Blog

So as a med-student it is not cliche to be impress with the way the heart works. Is it? You think by now that i’d be way over the way the heart works and the different types of heart sounds. But i’m not. Each time we cover cardiovasular system I am blown over at the way organ the size of my fist runs my body. Amaaaaaazing, alright and I stand in awe at the Great Creator. Father God.

Lemme explain: the heart generally makes two main sounds. They call it Lubb Dubb, but in my version is Love God. 

Okay Love God is the sounds of S1 and S2, but within this there is S3 and S4. But before we get there S1 has a split as well as S2. S1’s split is mainly because the tricuspid valve closing late. Split is S2 is the pulmonary valve closing later than the aortic valve. Now you got that, S3 is the sound of the blood hitting the left ventral wall which comes right after S2. So this means as physiology states S4 is the blood also hitting the left ventricle wall but at the lower position - the fourth left intercostal space to be exact. Thus, this explains why it preceeds the S1 valve.

Now you’re probably wondering so what. Well, These sounds and the positions where they are detected in a physical examination can detect clinical abnormality, and signal to docs the problem the person is facing.

Yeah, but still what has that to do with you or me. Well eat well that your heart may work well.

It seems like the year has just started and zoomed into some other time. The taste and linger of Christmas and the excitement of approaching another year, vanished. I have to say that I do feel as though I have boldy grown.

New hopes, new dreams, new aspirations, all seem real from where i stand. Except to note that the New Year hasn’t really begun just as yet.

The question is - why would a New Year start in the middle of death. Lets be real, lets stop walking around blinded by every sound wind or doctrine. Every New Year begins with Spring. The birth of New Life. Not the middle of cold and death.

Nevertheless this “year” I want to do more. I want to blog more. I want to pick up a new instrument and learn more, live more and definitely love more.

My friend Lillian is happily married now. I want to wish great things for her this “New Year”.

Before i go, there are two things that still puzzle me with mankinds thinking:

1 - Saying “good morning” in the middle of the dark night just after 12 p.m or 00:01 hrs

and 2 - Saying “Happy New Year” in the middle of dead winter.

Oh how I wish that we’d get this not a mystery, but reality just right.

Let me see if this just might help: Sun = Day; Dark = Evening

Sunset is the ending of Day and the beginning of Evening. Whereas Sunrise is the end of Evening and the beginning of Day. Therefore One day and one evening =  day.

Oh that many more would long for such simple wisdom.

I pray that this “New Year” we’d all desire and seek True wisdom.

I aroused with the urgency to have a “wee”:-), jumped out of my bed and headed to the lui – a habit from drinking my last glass of water too late at times. Relieved, checking my watch and realising that it was after three in what the world calls morning – I’ll explain that some other time -I knew that there was no way I’d fall back to sleep. Nevertheless I welcomed the idea, because it’s always in the quiet hours of the morn that I enjoy spending my most romantic and quality time with Jesus.Its’ at those times my heart cries out in earnest to be filled with His amazing love, that I may not have the need to feel for another throughout the day, but filled only with the desire to impart that great love which He has imparted to me.And believe me it makes the day sunnier. Even the rainy ones, as this morning was proving to be.The time ticked away and it was approaching 5 a.m. Today morning I desired to head out a bit earlier for my routine morning brisk walk. With each attempt from removing my night clothes and putting on my exercise gear, the rain just seem to fall harder and harder. Not good, because this was one of those mornings where I felt as thought I needed a partner to really encourage me to get going. It is occasions like these that it is because of the joy and fulfilment that I get from my early morning brisk walks and talks with Jesus that makes it just enough to get going.

The rain continued for a while and when the break came I was ready to go. Ready to go at the same 05:30 hrs, some much for wanting to leave a bit earlier:-)

Despite the grey clouds, it was beautiful and quiet outside, as every new morning always is. The air was still fresh from the night dew, and the soft gentle breeze caressed my face. I felt alive and invigorated as I set out.The gymnasium complex seemed like a skeleton compared to how it normally would be on a regular early dry morning, but as the minutes ticked away and the clouds appeared to drift away, more and more people ebbed from whatever corner they were hiding in from the earlier showers. I am fortunate to live a near enough to the complex. It has become a sort of an escape place for me. Here I can walk and talk with God and smile at all the passer-by’s and still be engross with His love.Six minutes into my walk a few drizzles began to drop and I was determined that I would not be turning back until my routine walk was over. I was determined to keep going even if I was going to be drenched:-)

I looked in the sky and there was grey everywhere, but I felt impress to keep looking. I starred and then as if uncontrolably I shouted in a loud voice “God is behind every dark cloud Satan, you can’t fool me. My God is behind every dark cloud”. The words that came out of my mouth cause a riveting expression across my face, I smiled, picked up the pace as the rain continued to drizzle, and as if having the final say I shouted once more as thought the spiritual battles that I have been fighting for a few days now have been won “God is behind every dark cloud. You better believe that. I believe that with all my heart.Satan you are a liar.” I kept smiling and a continual peace filled my heart. And soon enough the drizzles stopped. As I continued and headed up the hill to complete the first of my regular two laps the fresh breeze engulfed me and I felt as though God was smiling on me.I continued, and the one outstanding thought that came to my mind was that I need to keep going, no matter how gloomy things may seem, or appeared, I need to continue going, and trusting in Jesus. Then the Lord brought this analogy to my mind that He’d brought to me years ago. ‘What would happen if all the postmen who travel on bicycles or motorbikes to deliver mail from house to house in our neighbourhoods decided that because the rain is falling there are not going to deliver any mail? Imagine what would happen?’ I smiled at the very thought because I knew that there would expected mail delays and disappointed people. A person’s birthday missed. A depressed mother, wife or husband waiting to here from a loved one disappointed; a delayed bill that could lead to many other things. I pondered. Jesus was saying to me keep going no matter how things may appear; there is someone depending on my smile even when I am going through a rough time. There is a blessing that still needs to be given by my hands, mouth, or feet. And there are still many blessings to receive.I was now into my second lap, and after many small bouts of rain, sure enough as I climbed that hill one last time, the sun was high in the sky, outside was dry and the a whole day was waiting to be conquered… no rather the day was already conquered in Jesus’ name, only waiting to be claimed by His precious little ones, like me.

Looking forward to sharing with you again soon.

In many ways i am a technophobe. One would never believe that before my world of medicine, i was a media major and that i presently hold an Upper second class honours in Media Technology. Well I do.

I am afraid to blogg- well i was… don’t get me wrong, i still am, but today i’ll brave it. Tomorrow, who knows i don’t know only God does, but as i was saying before my postmodern thought, i’m afraid to blog, myface, myspace, hifive and all that comes with the territory of exposing oneself over the net, or anyform of suspicious medium.

Huh, I’m actually thinking that i really might enjoy this. Here goes…

Hi, I’m bev, welcome to my blog… the joys, trials and triumphs of being a beautiful single Christian lady.

Earlier i was afraid to publish this. Now hours after writing this draft i feel ready to share.

You may be asking: “share what?” well i’ve been told that behind every face there is a story. And even though you can’t see me as yet, my blog will be my virtual face for the time being.

I’ve been chasing innocence for a long time and God alone knows for me what that has been like.

Today is a beautiful day, and i want to Carpe Diem. An expression that i have come to love an appreciate for years now.

I look forward to sharing with you. And sharing again soon. Because life is beautiful.

from a woman learning to be virtuous, bev:-)
