Fire and Rescue

I love working for Campus Safety, I put in 8 hours last night, got off at 4 am and have to be back at 12 noon!!! It's ok, I got some sleep... until Chase's alarm went off! We had such a crazy night last night. There was a big party off campus and a kid got beat up pretty bad, so we had to call CPFR to come and take him to the hospital. That took a good 2 hours or so, because we had to write the report and clean up the bloody stuff and all that other good stuff... I got there and kinda took over the scene from everyone else because I have been doing that kind of stuff since I was 16.

As the paramedic's and firefighters got there, it made me realize that I do actually love the whole EMS world. It is crappy sometimes (every once in a while literally), but it is so amazing. I started remembering things and how to do stuff, aaaahhhhh!!!!!! I got to give a short report, I have always been told that I give good shorts and I loved it! Maybe once I graduate, I will start volunteering for CPFR! I love God, more than anything, so is there room in my life for the Church and Fire & Rescue? I have always wanted to go on Medical Missions to poorer nations, but I need medical training to do that...

I enjoy the whole knowing how to help someone in their time of real need. I guess that is only physical however, and I do know how to help someone in their spiritual time of need. How do you combine the two? I didn't feel led to pray for the kid right there and see him healed ( I did pray for him, by myself) I think he was too "altered" to understand what prayer was anyways.

All in all, I hope he turns out okay, but I have discovered that maybe God put the passion for EMS in me for a reason... Maybe the only reason I got involved in the Fire Dept. wasn't trying to overachieve and prove to everyone I was a success. I know that with Jesus, I will always be a success in the eyes that matter most, but it is so much fun for me to be in that environment.

time for church and fire&rescue?you better believe it!
don´t forget Sam that YOU ARE the church... you have Christ within and are His reflection everywhere you go... that IS the church right there! nothing wrong with gathering in building once a week ´n all, but this time and generation calls for us being the church and bringing the church TO people.
