These guys never stopped. They did not stop at the job site with their learning and teaching. Once arriving for dinner as they waited for the line to get smaller, Dr. Marge and other students were discussing ways of helping others on the next day. Some of the students were reflecting on the day in thought and in words. The conversations were fluid in the dining hall. A lot of talk about a lot of great stuff they learned and will continue to learn as the week progressed. These students were hungry to expand on their knowledge outside of the text books. Some of the medical concerns they learn in their text books become alive and real out in the field. They all experienced this their first day. Their textbooks became alive for all of them. Wow how awesome this must have been for them.
One evening Dr. Charlotte had devotions. She read out of Exodus 35-36. She asked us what about this did you hear from my reading of God's word. Some shared there was a lot of fine details, high volume of materials, their were skilled workers not because of them but because of their heart condition, whoever came was moved by the Holy Spirit, God equipped the called, the called are those whose hearts are right with the Lord, they are ready and willing to listen as walking and being obedient to God. Dr. Charlotte then asked another question, "What does this look like in our own lives?" Are we obedient to the calling of Christ, are we willing to listen and walk with God where He calls us to go. Her next question to the students were, "Why did you come on this trip?" She let the students ponder on this questions as she continued sharing, "Is there anything you have done or seen this week you never thought you would experience?" I challenge you to make this a prayer for your life as I make it one for me out Exodus 35:31. We are called to be equipped through our prayer life with our Father. "How are you using your gifts this week for the kingdom work we have been called to do?
