Praying through the events and work that I knew all to well would take place on the field. Checking the corridors of my mind did I have everything, IDs, Tickets, Visas, Travel arrangements etc on and on the list. Playing back previous scenarios in my mind,  I reviewed the instruments, procedures, supplies, just to name a few things racing in my head. Turning the page to a few years ago during my junior or senior year in university I would do the same thing in my head the night before an exam today there was a different kind of life exam racing through my mind. There is such an high amount of responsibly placed on us to preform the best of the best quality in every procedure due to the highly trained and gifted surgeons. They have not just taught me how to be useful in the OR they refuse to leave me there on level ground instead every discipline they review and progressively teach and quiz me on more and more. Attention to detail in the medical world to someone like myself with a big heart and no title to my name can be used and gain from the experience. In practical ways in everyday life, and in being a missionary, there is so many things I am becoming a medical sponge more everyday to understand the international needs, literally a thought process of learning that takes on many forms whether it is, business, science, political, governments, people s, materials supply and demand, public health. With so many things crowding in I can see the possible ability to get so off track with the most important person in my life Jesus Christ. So many moments in the last week the Lord showed me this and set me on pace with Him in a whole new understanding! Currently reading through I Corinthians in my personal time, it has been so convicting and in just the first three verses brought me to my knees. God is so jealous for our utter devotion and sincere relationship with Him. It is no wonder His anger was kindled in the temple when they turned it into a market instead of a sacred place for worship. I can see how that is exactly what I do with God pushing Him away to let the crowding in of the world take over! We as Christians are so prone to turn the place that God have in our hearts into something far from Him. God chose the Jews for many reasons yet one in particular they are a perfect example of our weak humanity, because of many examples in Scripture I have so much more Hope in my redeemer amidst my failures. Had the Jews been a perfect race of people that would be far more difficult for me to acquire such a steadfast Hope in God’s promises again though I know my infinite Creator oversees all and has every detail planned. Today I fly to Cambodia, taking Anna Carter with me, a young prospective medical student full of the joy of beginning a new season of life. I am praying this trip impacts her as much as Rwanda impacted me so many years ago! All in Gods good time!
