Meeting the Surgeon Yet Praying for the World

Here I am in the corner of one of the student buildings at MUSC, just a few hours away from meeting with the doctor that will be doing the surgery and the only thing is on my mind is what is going on in the world.
  • My mom mentioned to me awhile ago how the doctor that will be on rounds when I'm in the hospital, is an atheist. It breaks my heart and makes me wonder what in the world will happen when he sees all the people that come and visit me, (hopefully alot), and are praying for me. I hope he sees faith in me, he see God's light in me, and God's love in me.
  • I'm sitting in a student building beginning to have students wander in and the thing that make me think, is there a group/club like FCA or InterVaristy where students can come together and learn about Christ, step away from the stress of studies and school and just fellowship?
  • There are doctors that are coming onto shift right now that going to have to say to families that their loved ones are not going to live through the rest of the day, they are going to be a vegetable the rest of their lives, they are going to have to give their organs to others to help them to live or not, or better tell families that they have baby boy or girl or they have multiples or for some its a relief to not be pregnant. There are doctors telling patients that they are going to live or are cured. I could go on.
  • There are people in Haiti, Chili, New Orleans, India, Rwanda, China, and all over the world that are still suffering from the after effects of all the natural disasters, and the genocides and wars that they couldn't control.
  • There are young women in the world that are being placed into prostitution by their OWN parents for money.
  • There are young men in the world that are being handed a machine gun/machete and taught how to fight/kill.
  • There are people everyday that go hungry, that don't have shoes, that only have one set of clothes, don't get to bathe and don't hear about GOD'S LOVE.

AND THESE ARE JUST A FEW.

I am just one person. I hate to focus on myself. What do you see that makes you hurt when you think about it?
