Tests and Triumphs

I'm home and chillin' on a Monday night, praise God! I ditched work, with leave notice of course, but the decision came just as I was preparing to go. I have my Ate Angel to thank for this peaceful restful night, for telling me to just come to work tomorrow :) And because I feel the need to justify myself, in all fairness naman, I was up and about all day, studying in the morning, and settling requirements+exams in the evening.

The past 3 weeks have been among the fastest days of my life. It was a phase of transition that I welcomed and prayed for, that had it's share of stresses and challenges, but which certainly did not overwhelm my realization of God's floods of blessings in my life. 

The past 3 weeks gave me a preview of how my life would go a few weeks from now (fingers crossed) when I finally go back to being a hospital nurse. I was always tired, I actually now have a higher threshold for tiredness and pain, but I felt at home, learning as I work and loving what I do.

Tomorrow I'll be back temporarily to being an office/remote monitoring nurse. It's a field I never thought I'd be doing at the beginning of my nursing career, but God had different plans, and I'll make sure to write a post about my TechTouch, Inc. family when my time with them is over, for more drama...haha

So what I'm trying to arrive at with this post...umm...I guess I just want to proclaim how good God is in my life. On top of the blessing of being able to work, I've recently had BIG, MAJOR lessons in honesty, compassion, patience, trust, love, respect, and selflessness through the experiences I've had with my patients and coworkers. It is very very very difficult to do what is right at all times and I do fail most of the time no matter how good my intentions are. There are worse moments- when I have this strong impulse to just leave things as they are and just think about myself alone; but I thank God that He is faithful, that His love always reminds me of my responsibility to love others too, and that even though what's right is so hard and painful to do, I must do it, because when I do, He has also promised that I won't be doing it alone.

Jesus, thank you for carrying me through :) All the challenges, I know they're for my good because I felt in the past weeks na bumabait po talaga ako...hahaha. I know you won't test me beyond what I can endure so as I let you take full control of my life, help me do as I should, for the love of you, and for the glory of your name.

Here's a song about allowing God to change our lives from glory to glory.
Jesus, may it always be your heart within me beating for the people I serve and meet each day.
I'm still masungit, but I've improved a lot already with your guidance so I'm positive that I'll get to 'MOST KIND' one day:)
