The best part of having a doctor for a fiance (besides from the free medical attention she's giving me) is having the opportunity to witness, firsthand, God's miracle of healing through her...Just recently, i was invited to go with her on a medical mission at Lucena. It was a long (and i really mean long) drive...of course, i (her knight in shining armor) was gracious enough (ahem) to drive for her. Riding with us were her co-doctors. A conversation with God broke out in my head while we were on the way to the site. And i remember God impressing in my heart this kind of ministry in the future...and it kinda got me excited! I don't mind driving long hours, having sleepless nights and unbearable body aches if i know that it was all because i gave my time to those who need it! I will never call these kind of charity work "waste of time"...it's more of an opportunity to get their attention on more important things like their Spiritual Condition. I believe that attending to their Physical needs is just a way for us to attend to what's really important...their SOUL! Half way to the trip, i looked at my doc on the passenger seat (that sounded cheezy) and felt a bolt of gratitude in me that God had brought us together for a chance to Glorify Him as one. I can't think of anyone else to partner with me and all my crazy ideas! So even if at the end it's just going to be me, my doc and the needy...it's ok...it's more than enough for me!
