Army daze

I can only thank God for putting me where I am today. I'm really loving the job as MOIC.

I get to see patients, train my GP skills and having the opportunity to read up on stuff. Though sometimes I meet some Chaoking idoits, they make life exciting and the work challenging. Realised huge gaps in my medical knowledge...time to read up!! Have the chance to deal with (hopefully not so frequent) emergencies, and having to be on my toes medically in anticipation of them. God has led me to see that I need to brush up on my medical skills/knowledge to be fair to my patients (Andrew is right, need to start building up approaches). Am also learning to find the right attitude in approaching patients (and trying hard not to be a hypocrite/double ego)

I have a team of wonderful medics and senior medics to work with. Jeremy just shared a verse from 2 Sam 2:22, about David being the captain of his man. Indeed, I too am the captain of many men and I really pray that God would give me wisdom and patience to influence/inspire/guide them. Had started a fire after we implemented regimentation the week before, but God blessed us and turned the crisis around. O Lord, teach me to be a good leader, grant us a clear vision, help me to be able to lead, to excel and to overcome! May You be the Lord over our medical center

I have time (or so I think)...time to plan things, but there's so so so much I need to do/want to do. Build relationships (family/fiance/buddies/friends), learn new stuff (driving), RnR (run/cycle/go overseas), study (spiritual/medical), ministry (MM/G3) and MARRIAGE!!! Ah, so many things...how to plan?!?!?! Dear Lord, pls give me wisdom and courage to prioritise.

Looks like the year and a half ahead will be full of excitement and challenges. O Lord, I pray you would walk before and alongside me as I journey in the path you lead.
