Busiest day! /6:36 AM
We had a mad amount of lectures today.
I sat in the third row, trying my best not to fall asleep. It's difficult you know. I did my best to sleep early the previous night and yet I felt tired half-way through the day. Apparently, I found the teacher's speech monotonous and I was jiggling on the chair and making it squeak.
Human beings are limited things. We get hungry and tired and bored.
But as I was being overwhelmed by the work, I began to realise something.
People have called me creative and artistic, and I think I am too. But today as I was being overwhelmed by the flood of information being poured in my direction, I realised something.
God made all this. Everything from the tiniest cell to the complicated systems designed to keep our body running. I couldn't even graple with the point-form information about a single cell (we had a lecture devoted to cells today) and God made the ENTIRE being! In fact he made millions and billions and trillions (and er... what's next?) of them!
Can you imagine God fitting you into place? Fitting every cell of your body in place? Delegating a specific role to your tissues? Shaping each organ and laying each system in place?
Not only that! God fit a mind into your head to let you think. Thoughts in that mind to let you question. A heart in your chest to let you feel. Emotion in your heart to let you wonder.
Question and wonder about where God fit you in life.
Do you know that I wanted to be a childcare worker because it didn't require maths? (On a sidenote, I do love little children.)
Do you know that I wanted to be a nurse because there were so few nurses to support the people in Singapore?
Do you know that I wanted to be a writer?
An Artist perhaps?
Maybe a psychologist?
Or a full time worker in church?I never thought I'd end up a dental student with a future of picking at peoples' cavities. (Not very glam I know. My surgical cap looks like a fuzzy shower cap T^T.)
But I must have ended up here because God fit me here, just as he fit me into being. Even if I am limited (always sleepy, always craving for chocolates and almost always restless), I have a reason for doing this course to the best of my ability! God who took so much care to fashion every cell in my body is more than deserving of my best. So why shouldn't I do my best for him?
