"We frequently lose what we have because we fail to remember why it was given. Adam and Eve forgot their purpose and lost their place. They knew they were created for dominion, but they forgot why. Grasping for what was lost, they began to misuse their strengths, and used their dominion against each other. Essentially, the fall of man originated the battle of the sexes. Thus, the wrestling began.
"Have we learned anything in all the years of pain? How many parents have lost the hearts of their children because they forgot why they had them? It was never to control them but to provide an environment in which they flourish. How many couples have lost their marriages because they forgot why they were together? They fight againts each other rather than for their love. Do we grasp and wrestle with others for their roles because we lose sight of our own? We all lose when we take from others what was not theirs to give."
(From Lisa Bevere's "Fight like a Girl")
You know what Sheela. You were MADE a nurse.
It wasn't YOUR choice. Given a choice, you'd never ever ever want to be a nurse.
The reason why you clean crap, you work hard and long, you run around, you get busy making sure the plans for all your patients are done, you advocate, you teach, you look after, you listen, you SERVE was never meant for YOU to feel good. It wasn't for you. Maybe for once, you've gotta stop complaining and thinking about yourself but of others and what you can do, so that THEY will get better.
Maybe you've gotta start praying again, and DO what your blog name says. To start nursing your patients with God's love.
"And while I'm serving others as You would have me do, please help me remember that I'm truly serving you" - R. Fogle.
