There are some times when I love being a nurse and there are other times when I really wish nothing more than to live under a rock where I can observe nothing. There are times when I shout praises to God for His hands of healing and grace for more days for people and there are others that I cry, tears streaming down my face, and ask "why". Tonight was a night of the latter. I sit here and cry having to rely only on the sovereignty of God and even that does not seem like enough. I can't share details except to say this was the hardest night I have ever worked as a nurse!
While there is A LOT I don't know there are a few things I do. On nights like tonight when I see the world with all the sin and Satan seems to be winning I must remind myself of Christ's Victory. I must remind myself of God's love and power in EVERYONE's life and I must remind myself that God can cure all hurts if only we come to Him.
I also am awakened to the great need of a Saviour for so many people and today I pray, for one patient specific but for the world as a whole as well. Please pray, pray God will come back quick and reign supreme in LOVE. Please pray that people will see the love of Christ and seek out a relationship with him. And please pray for me as tonight was a really hard night at work. I am tired, physically, emotionally and spiritually. My heart is heavy, my stomach in knots and my body exhausted.

Sorry to hear about your night. What happened? I hope you are having a better day. I will pray for you and that your next time at work will be filled with HOPE.
I second Michelle's comment..may your next night of work be filled with HOPE! I know for being on the "other side" that a nurse can make or break a hospital stay. You are God's hands and feet at the hospital; your are his light there too.
I love you!
I love you so much Kandy! And I know the heart ache of seeing people hurt--you are an amazing woman and I love your bold faith and huge heart. Keep loving, don't wall your heart, God will bless you for your willingness to embrace the hurting, and I know it may not seem like it, but he will protect yours. Keep sharing, it's a great way to allow others to lift you up! ...And we want to!! You are so great!! I love you so much!!!
