For she's a jolly good fellow...
I do realize that I just posted. I mean JUST posted, but I had a separate thought I wanted to put out here that isn't related to that post.
I am absolutely not sure where God is leading me. I haven't walked the path I planned. My path would have likely involved staying at my undergraduate for medical school (cheaper, more familiar, and closer). It would have likely involved (presuming that permutation didn't alter the course of my goals) an entirely different residency namely ENT.
Though I am not sure where I am going, I am entirely sure I am being led. I have this idea of what I like and what I'm good at. God, I'm sure, laughs at some of this. I do try my hardest to stay within the will of God and to not sin. This led me to only apply to two fellowships. The one I didn't get was obviously not the exact environment I was looking for. The second one interviewed potential fellows while I was in the Philippines. They didn't offer me an interview spot. They didn't even tell me they were interviewing. But one of the two fellows had to bail for family reasons. The story, as it goes, is too crazy to be anything dreamed up. I emailed the program director right after she quit. The director even admitted that it seemed God ordained, though I'm not sure what her technical phrasing was.
I found out I had been offered the job while in the Middle East the next month.
True story!
So I know I'm being led. It's not the path I would've chosen but it's a mighty fine one (better than the one I dreamed I'm sure!). You can pray for me not to be too sleep deprived this year. You can remind me of Psalm 127... =P
