Steven and I are here in Salt Lake City, Utah, waiting for tomorrow. The big day... the big test... the biggest anxiety overload that he has ever had Im sure. I get stressed just watching him study all of this material. I know that he knows this stuff. He knows that he knows it. God knows that he knows it. Now he just has to convince three rooms of three doctors that he knows it. They won't get any idea of the kind of man he is, how he has the best work ethic of anyone I've ever met, how he is considerate enough for his patients feelings that he will speak with them in the middle of the night to calm their fears, or how he fully understands that the job he holds is not just a job, but that he is being permitted to work in the realm of the closest creation to our Lord Almighty. No, they won't know any of those things. They will only have thirty minutes to an hour of his time, in which they will give him scenarios and have him explain to them what he would do with each. Then they send him on his way, and decide if, after 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school and 5 years of residency, he is fit to be a surgeon. hmm
I know that tests are necessary. I know that we have to follow the rules. I also know that we serve a sovereign God who has taken us this far, hopefully not to let us fail now. Faith the size of a mustard seed, right? :)
My prayer is that God will allow Steven to find favor in the sight of the test givers. That He will give Steven peace, and clarity of mind. Peace above all. Please pray for him too?
"Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you." Psalm 9:10
