First Patient

I took care of my first patient on Tuesday. It was nothing too exciting, in fact I really did not get to do anything for my patient as he was having a procedure done. At first I was extremely fearful of taking care of patients for reals, but God really blessed me first with peace, and then with excitement. He has placed such a beautiful opportunity in front of me. I get to love on people who are hurting and distressed and need love more than during most situations. If you can, please pray that when I watch over these people, that God make me an extension of his loving and healing hands. Please pray that my passion to do my absolute best for these patients does not diminish as time passes but rather grows in time. Finally, please pray that I seek God in my distress. Nursing school is not easy, and I need to remind myself that God is going to get me through each day and completely take care of my needs, and that He has a better plan for my life than I could even imagine. Patient number two will be in a couple of hours. She speaks only Korean. 1 John 3:18 says "Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." Today I have no choice but to do that and I thank God for the opportunity.
