Just when you're not ready

I watched the season premier of House. If you haven't seen it and intend to then don't read any further! Anyway, at the end of last season he commits himself to a mental institution due to hallucinations he's having. After detoxing from his drug addiction he demands to be released. The head doctor of the facility tells him he's free to go, but he won't recommend that his medical license be reinstated unless he stays and undergoes therapy. For the majority of the show is House fighting the therapy, but eventually (believe it or not) he submits to it. House goes through an interesting process of self discovery. He has highs and lows through the process but when his world comes crashing down the head doctor tells him he'll write his letter of recommendation. House says he's not asking for pity, he needs help. The doctor then talks him through his perspective of what House has just been through and shows him that it is time for him to move on, he's accomplished what he needed to.

I often think about Bible stories of those whose world has crashed down around them only to be handed their ministy. Peter, after denying Christ. Daniel after losing his home, his family, and even his name. Esther, Joseph, Ruth.... Who am I forgetting? It seems that just when you are not ready for it, the world is handed to you.
