So much for my accountability blog : ( I totally lost two weeks of devotional and life blogging when I took leave to see Juli the week before Easter : ) which was awesome!!! and then I left my computer there, lol... epic fail!!!
Well now it's time to get back on track with this devotional accountability. Quick update: I took a PT test with about 70 guys last wednesday and did well enough to get in the top 15 or so to get into the Special Forces Combat Medic class early. Those who didn't make it are gonna have to wait 6 more weeks for the next class. So that was pretty cool, making the cut : ) But it now means my life for the next 9 months is going to be consumed by being in the classroom eight hours a day, only getting weekends and or federal holidays off, but hey I guess that's just the price of learning trauma medic awesomeness!!! lol, it's gonna be worth it, I can't wait to learn how to treat gunshot wounds, arterial bleeds, sucking chest wounds etc... : ) I'm so lucky to be learning this stuff, and thank God I've been given this opportunity, who knows maybe after the Army I'll go to Africa and be a missionary medic embedded deep in the Congo, lol.... jk? Actually that would be pretty darn sweet!!! you never know, I hope that happens : ) or a tropical island like Tasmania or Tahiti would be nice, surfing is a must have in mission work I've decided just now!
Well over the next 25 days, I'll finish up and re-certify as an EMT-B. That's the first part of our training, covering 3-5 chapters every day, it's gonna be like drinking water from a firehouse.
Devotional thought for today:
Recently I jumped back in the Psalms, and found a few amazing verses that have really spoken to me. Psalm 40 verse 4 is the first verse,
"Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!"
So often recently, I find myself always trying to solve my problems of the day/issues at work, by myself and finding the world's fastest proven solution for getting things done. I hate this, when I lose that trust mentality in God, and just try to get things done on my own, instead of getting things done and relying on God to help me get them done. I don't know if this makes any sense, I guess basically what I'm saying is... this verse reminds me that trusting in God and having faith in Him everyday need not be forgotten or abandoned for the world's way!
Psalm 42:1-2 "As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?"
This beautiful verse is self explanatory, and makes me ask this question to myself... does my soul thirst for God? Does your soul thirst for God? Only God can quench our thirst, we've been taught that, know it, and I needed the reminder to get back on track and realize how well God can quench our thirsts, any thirst!
