Bye Bye Blues

On fall break my last year of nursing school I went to Taiwan to seek the L-rd, be with friends and do some serious healing and intense prayer times. It was an amazing and life changing trip. One of the things the L-rd spoke to me on that trip was that I would be a pediatric nurse. It made me feel so alive, I had peace in my spirit about what I was supposed to do. I tried, hard, to work with children from the start, but the doors just weren't opening.
 

The L-rd was in control. After Zeke passed away in the exact unit I wanted to work on, at Children's Mercy Hospital, I realized the L-rd's sovereignty and how his timing is perfect. Then Wyatt left. My heart ached and I realized I have to be with those kids.

It took me awhile but I finally applied again. About 2 weeks later I got an email to set up an interview. I cried. I couldn't believe the L-rd would even get me that far. Well here we are almost a month and a half after I the email and starting November 1st I will be employed as an RN in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Children's Mercy Hospital.

I'm so excited! I can't really think about anything else. Everyday the L-rd shows me how this is His will, not mine. It's all in His perfect timing. He waited until all the pieces were in order and I was ready to accept this position. I am honored, thankful and overwhelmed, I have so much to learn! 

I know it'll be hard, real hard at times, but those kids are going to be sick whether I'm there or not. I want to be there to give them love (when they may not receive that anywhere else.) I want to share the love of Jesus with them and with their families when they are broken and crying out for something more. I can't wait. 

I've never been more excited about anything...ever!  I get to work in a place that is so prestigious and so influential. I can't believe He picked me! Thank you L-rd!

As if the job wasn't special enough I get to wear fun scrubs to work...whatever kind I want. So no more blue day in and day out. Hello bright and cheery!
