Tonight I had the privilege of recapping the last year of my life in an interesting interaction. I met a 3rd year medical student aspiring to orthopaedics. Knowing little about him, I expected to be minimally helpful, but desired to give back some of the many gifts of information God had ordained in my life.
After talking awhile I found out that he went to a Christian college, had a similar background as I do, and is facing many of the same challenges as I was with resume gaps. It was too cool to share all of the ways God had blessed me in the application process. All of the connections, all of the moments of triumph, all of the failures. I got to initiate a process of perfecting the application for a person that would struggle to get into this highly competitive field, but with an incredible God, proving all things are possible.
I know if I don't get the job (as we will find out job or no job tomorrow, where I'll be going is Friday) this process had meaning. I know my life has purpose and the reiteration of being able to help others in the mean time is supremely rewarding.
I'm amazed.
