Balancing act

I was exhausted after our trip to Tegucigalpa. Thankfully, I was able to get some extra sleep, and be back to the status quo. We are now in discussion with my medical school for the additional document acquisition that has been clarified by UNAH during my meeting in Teguc. While that is underway I'm also trying to get over prepared in other areas, i.e. certified translations of some documents that I realized they may require but were still in English. The goal is for next trip to Teguc to be more successful.
This week... I am pretty sure is the first week I've had so far in 2026 without a visiting surgical personnel sharing the ORs with me. I'm thankful for all of the visitors, and at the same time, it's kind of nice to just be the home crowd for once. That being said, I was rather anxious at the beginning of this week. The OR board was busy, and more than a few were complicated cases. Then after that, Jake and I had zoom meetings scheduled every evening. Every morning Jake and I would moto down to the hospital in time for devotions, not sure when I would get home and if I would be able to make our meetings. As I mentioned, I was anxious about it. I think the lack of control I had over making our meetings and the lack of balance between work and outside responsibilities was contributing to that. Yet each day, it has been almost seraphic as the cases have literally moved around, maybe a patient no longer desires the surgery, or there is an opening to transfer a case around, but as a result, I have made the meeting each evening! It makes me feel like Jesus is reminding me that he knows me on a personal level, He knows my limit better than I know it. I can trust Him and needn't be anxious.
I know, so much easier said than done!

Much love.
