There are often times in our lives that we find ourselves in a time of waiting. This season of life can look different for everyone. Some might be waiting to hear from a doctor, heal from an injury, begin a relationship, start a business, hear from a family member, find their dream job, see COVID restrictions lifted, or to see a seed of hope come from a hopeless situation. There are so many ways in which God asks us to wait throughout life, often making us wonder why it feels like He has forsaken us. I recently came across the blog post below and thought it was filled with encouragement for those who find themselves in the waiting. The verses it offers bring comfort and hope for hearts that may feel discouraged. The Lord is in the waiting. He does not withhold good things from those who walk uprightly. During this season, we remind ourselves to press further into the heart of God, instead of growing distant or callous. Often by waiting and engaging in prayer, our desires are shaped to look more like Christ; our character is matured and our dependence on Christ is strengthened. We must remember to place our ultimate trust in what does not change, the promises of Christ. Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, making Him the safest place to anchor our unwavering confidence. The promises of The Lord assure us and give us hope to hold onto even when we feel like we are missing out on our deepest desires. Christ is not slow to fulfill His promises, He is right on time and unrelenting. If you open your heart to Him, He will reveal more of Himself and give you a deeper love for His character. Take a second to read through some of the promises the Bible offers us in the waiting and be encouraged by the faithful kindness of our Father. 

We celebrate 20 YEARS in business today! What a ride it has been! We are grateful beyond words for the love and support we have received over the last two decades, and we look forward to serving you for many more! 

Here are a few pics from our celebration today, along with a few from our first days 20 years ago! 

The Smith Clinic is thrilled to introduce you to the newest addition to our staff and Smith Clinic family: Physical Therapist, Meg Bolton! A native Memphian, Meg received her undergraduate degree from the University of Mississippi, most recently, her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

A fun fact about Meg? She is a twin! Her twin brother is a 2nd year medical student at UTHSC, and their younger brother is currently a baseball player in college. Meg is very close to her family, and she frequently enjoys playing them in games for some friendly competition.

When Meg is not spending time with family, she enjoys watching movies, exercising & playing sports, going on walks with my friends, and painting with my mom in her art studio. She has also recently developed a fondness for pickle ball. 

In discussing why she chose physical therapy as a career path, Meg explained, "I’ve always known that I’ve wanted to be a part of the Healthcare industry and have also been passionate about exercising. I’ve experienced first-hand how life-changing Physical Therapy is during a time of chronic pain. Having seen and experienced how beneficial PT can be is what lead to me to pursue a career in Physical Therapy so that in return I may help give others that enhanced quality of life that I’ve received. I also value the opportunity to develop relationships with patients and try to be a light during a time of pain and uncertainty."

When asked about her recent decision to join the Smith Clinic, Meg stated, "I’m most excited about joining the Smith Clinic family, because of the positive and loving environment they embody. It is a family atmosphere, and I respect the way everyone performs their jobs and how well they serve their patients."

We couldn't be more excited to have you join The Smith Clinic family, Meg...we know everyone with love you just as much as we do!
