The exciting thing about being a believer…
Cos it’s not just a religion.
It’s not just about doing the right thing.
It’s about a dynamic relationship with a God that should’ve been, would’ve been unreachable if not for His great love for us, that He would send His Son to die for us, so that we may have life. And even after He had died, and rose up from the dead, and ascended to Heaven (giving us eternal life if we accept Him), He did not leave us with just some spiritual notes/how-to guides on Christianity. He gave us the Holy Spirit, to be a friend, a comforter, advisor and basically everything that we need.
I’m sure all of these, you know, and you would’ve heard 1001 times!
The difference is, it’s personal. He has changed my life, and will continue to change my life.
It’s easy to say things that sounds logical, practical, and at times humble even.
For example now, it’s a season when we all have to start applying for jobs for next year (yet again!) booyah. And well, while it’s easy for some, who have already decided what they want to do to say, yes, I’m going down the Physicians/Surgical/Critical Care path and hence apply for the relevant job. For myself, I haven’t quite decided for sure what I want to specialise in, and would like to do a mixed year. Pros? I get to have more experience in other jobs, and build up my foundation, and it also gives me more time to think and to be sure about what I want to specialize in, in the future. Cons? Usually, all the good rotations are taken up, for good reasons too, cos if you’re already sure about what you want to do, then chances are you’d be allocated these jobs. (Am I making sense?)
My stock standard answer when asked would be, yeah I’m planning to apply for a mixed year, and in an ‘ideal world’, I’d like to have these rotations (highly competitive jobs, given the fact that I haven’t even decided what I want to do… yet). Wishful thinking!
And this familiar still, small voice in my head says, “Why not? I specialise in the impossible remember?”
Brings me back to 12 months ago when Chris and I were applying for our internship. Remember? He says. Remember how I performed that miracle and brought you into the promise land? The story of Joshua resounds in my head. This is Canaan, the land flowing with milk and honey. Every ground you tread on is yours.
I’m pumped! I’m gonna take ground. One by one. Believing that ALL things are POSSIBLE!
