A 100-hour work week. On 32-hour non-stop calls. Not being able to see my family because I’m updating the family of patients. Maladjusting to a new hospital and a new department. Learning from mistakes. Learning from patients. Learning from nurses. Learning from life itself. Trying to find my footing in a world where quicksand hides itself. Being shouted at at work by overworked and angsty surgeons. Hungry. On 32-hour call again tomorrow even though it’s a Sunday. Tired.
Hungry.
It’s been a rough week.
But it’s okay. Because God suffered far, far more than we could ever imagine, for our sakes. And by His strength, all this’ll blow over, someday.
It’s going to be okay.
“Why are you downcast, O my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.”
-Psalm 43:5
Wai Jia appreciates your prayers for her in this time- for strength, mercy and most of all, joy.
Thank you.
He got your whole world, in His hands~~~ He got your whole world, in His hands~~~ He got your whole world, in His hands~~~ He got your whole world, in – His – hands~~~ !
Don’t forgot to sing a song a day. =)
Wow, Wai Jia, reading this post resolves my conviction to stand up for what is right regardless of the storms that will ensue. You’re my inspiration!
So encouraging to see someone stand up for their ideals even though there are very real repercussions to the choice.. am reminded of the verse where Jesus said that “if the world hates you, remember that it hated me first”. It’s not easy to be salt and light of the world and so much easier to avoid trouble in the working world..
be assured that God is pleased with what you do 🙂 this is the time to put into practise the ideals we had as children and teens growing up, and in a small way, live our dreams.
thank you also for putting your book online. it brought tears to my eyes, beautiful words and illustrations.
