My nursing calendar had a list of favorite Christmas carols on the psychiatric ward. .........
The schizophrenic favorite tune?.........Do you hear what I hear!
I am working nights this week to help them out here in FL. While it's not really what I want to do, I felt led to be of service to them. I must follow the spirit as I feel led by it. AS time goes by, I get the sense of God's spirit more and more. I can also say that there are many times I haven't a clue what the Lord has in store for me. How can that be? Well, I know I need much more practice at listening to Gods still small voice. I've never heard an audible voice mind you, but the Lord has a way of making himself known. I do my best to listen; I just suck at it! Just kidding. Let's just say there is room for improvement.
It amazes me when I stop to think that I have been a practicing nurse since Feb. 1998. It seems like I just graduated. God has been good to us over the years. He has used my salary to take care of my entire family all these years. I thank God my wife has been able to be home with the children all the time. What a blessing. I am a grateful man. Grateful to God for making this happen. Grateful to Catherine for making the personal sacrifice of her own wants or desires to focus on only raising the children up to be Godly people. She could go in many different directions and try and do many things, but instead she has put her own wants aside for their betterment. She is the biggest example to me of God's loving hand upon my life. I never feel alone because I have a woman to trust and count on in life. I really feel like this is what God had in mind when it comes to the marriage relationship. Two people working as a team. Not my will, not her will, but God's will as number one in our lives. It's such a blessing. Thank you Lord.........
back to work. I'm exhausted! It's 3:30 in the morning! I am gonna dive under my covers when I get home in the morning.
