uprightness > everything

a glimpse into god's mind

god doesn't go bragging to satan saying 'Job is the hardest working man in the whole world who makes the most money in the world and has the most power in the world',
He went bragging to satan about how Job was upright and blameless.

I'm going to focus all my energy on being upright instead of just working hard.

uprightness is greater than everything

Renaissance Man

Know something about everything and everything about something   T H Huxley

I've always wanted to be a Renaissance man. Well rounded, respectable, knowledgeable, wise in all ways.
Even picking a single major was difficult for me. I wanted to study everything. I still do.


After all these years, I realize God has fulfilled a little of my dream.
I started out in high school super focused in math and chemistry and physics.
Naturally, I went to college to study chemical engineering.

Two years ago I thought I wasn't up for the jobs of a chemical engineer. It seemed like a lot of solo work. It didn't seem like a good fit for me. I didn't like the JOB a lot.

So I switched to psychology and philosophy and minored in math. They were the two things that were REALLY interesting for me. I figured if I'm interested enough, then I'll enjoy whatever job it's attached to.

I graduated with a plan to be a missionary. I still have that plan.

I went to Cambodia (the country I was thinking about going to long-term - and still am) and came back with this hope to be a medical provider.

So now,

I have a little knowledge in chemistry and physics.
I have a lot of knowledge in psychology.
I have a lot of knowledge in math.

A lot of knowledge in philosophy - specifically mind and brain with little concentrations in theology.
And now I'm growing a lot of knowledge in medical.

I'm becoming well rounded and I didn't even realize it.
thank you god
