so my mind's been zinging, ka-chunking, splicing bits around in order to dismantle the idea, and replace it with a new one, intern at western hospital... i suppose i've today come to accept it a lot better than i had yesterday... for a day, i was in a horrible mood, and must have been terrible company... for a day, i grieved myself, as if my worth were determined by my selection at a particular hospital... for a day, i failed to trust that God has much greater plans than my own...
today's odb has been particularly pointed, and refreshing, in light of this... it talks about God's mysterious plans...
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28
thank God that He is in control, and not us!!! i pray that God will help me not only accept this departure from my set ideas of before, but will help me use this unique and wonderful opportunity to grow to get to know Him better, and to serve in my capacity, as well as possible, the patients i'll be treating next year... i know that the experience will be a good one, and will turn out in a few years' time, wherever i'll be, to have been a greater blessing than i can possibly imagine...
for now, i think, i'll leave with the couplet from today's odb:
"My times are in my Father's hand;
How could I wish or ask for more?
For He who has my pathway planned
Will guide me till my journey's o'er." - Fraser

I think that the places that we initially resist might often turn out to be the places where we find the most rewards. - YQ
