00:00:02,140 --> 00:00:03,140
yeah

Brooke Army Medical Center Department 

3
00:00:12,551 --> 00:00:15,030
of Ministry and pastoral care continues 

4
00:00:15,030 --> 00:00:16,863
to care for the souls of medical 

5
00:00:16,863 --> 00:00:19,350
warriors fighting covid 19 at the tip 

6
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:21,406
of the spear throughout the pandemic 

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,770
And my Christian tradition , I am 

8
00:00:23,770 --> 00:00:26,520
reminded of Matthew 14 where Jesus 

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,330
walks on water as you continue working 

10
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:32,160
tirelessly on the front lines , working 

11
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:34,720
long hours under stressful conditions . 

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,390
Sometimes you may feel as if you are 

13
00:00:37,390 --> 00:00:40,100
sinking in the water . Jesus invited 

14
00:00:40,110 --> 00:00:42,630
Peter to walk on water with him but he 

15
00:00:42,630 --> 00:00:44,680
began to sink throughout your 

16
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,350
commitment to care , your compassion 

17
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,710
and your integrity . There may be days 

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,720
when you have faltered and began to 

19
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,340
sink . I know I've had days after 

20
00:00:54,340 --> 00:00:56,770
counseling patients facing death or 

21
00:00:56,770 --> 00:00:59,230
sexual assault survivors where I began 

22
00:00:59,230 --> 00:01:02,020
to sink but we have to have faith to 

23
00:01:02,020 --> 00:01:04,070
walk on water . We have to walk 

24
00:01:04,070 --> 00:01:06,900
together and hold one another up just 

25
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,011
like jesus did with Peter on the lake 

26
00:01:09,011 --> 00:01:11,950
that day . I am incredibly impressed at 

27
00:01:11,950 --> 00:01:13,728
the work that you have done and 

28
00:01:13,728 --> 00:01:16,160
continue to do to combat this pandemic 

29
00:01:16,740 --> 00:01:18,630
while sustaining our military and 

30
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:20,741
healthcare missions with excellence . 

31
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,870
God may not rescue us from our 

32
00:01:22,870 --> 00:01:26,190
circumstances but does walk with us and 

33
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,240
ease our burdens . I find deep hope in 

34
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,860
that faith and invite you to remain 

35
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:35,180
hopeful and prayerful with me no matter 

36
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:38,150
our circumstances no matter our fight 

37
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,560
one team , one purpose
