Ow

I don't have anything uplifting to say today; only OW!

My finger hurt from playing the guitar! They start to get calluses, but then they start to peel and itch, and it is really gross!

And I guess if this is my biggest problem right now, I should be grateful. :)

people and His work

How important are people to God's work? I've just been thinking about this lately. What I'm trying to say is: if we don't do what He asks us to, does it get done?

I'm thinking mostly about the people who where important to me at camp, and other times, in pulling me into Jesus' light. If they hadn't done what He asked them, would I be where I'm at?

I doubt it.

Tired

Is it possible to wake up more tired than when you went to bed?

Cause I think I did it!

Stars

Maybe it's because I'm from the plains, but I love the sky. Day or night, its my favorite piece of scenery. And the folks over at Boing Boing are talking about a new way to look at it.

Google just makes cool stuff.

Ok, Ok

My sister has informed that I either need to post, or let my blog die a natural death.

Ok, already! I'll write something!

What I want to say tonight is this: I hate being on call. I hate the feeling that you might, at any time, have to hurry up and get to work. And if you do, you have to take care of a mom in labor. It's not that I don't like doing labors, they are just high stress.

Ok, that's my rant. On the good side, I can do stuff around the house until I do get called like . . . dum-da-dum . . . Laundry! We finally got that washer and dryer, and it sure has been nice.

Tomorrow I'm going to try to post a picture of my new favorite possession . . .

Made It

Well, I made it through seven days!! Had some powerful prayer warriors on my side :)

I also followed my mother's advice about exercising and eating well - thanks Mom!

I've been struggling with how to put what I've been learning about who I am in Jesus into my reality. The past few days I've had patients who where ill, some who thought they were ill, one who thought she was in labor. Some (a lot, actually) just wanted the perscription drugs a doctor can provide. And one was dying. How do I give Jesus into their lives?

Guess I'm still working on hearing what He has to say on that one.

Work

I just got back to work and found out that I inadvertently allowed myself to be scheduled for seven 12-hr shifts in a row.

ouch.

The week I just had was definitely worth it, but it's still going to be tough. How do I keep my joy and focus through such fatigue? I guess I'll have to wait and see . . .

New Music

New song in my heart, new music in my mp3 player :)

Here is some stuff I just got and have been enjoying a lot:

Toby Mac - all three albums, but especially his new one "portable sounds". I've only just realized that this type of music, which I really enjoy, can also be worship. Toby's got great words, a strong beat, and rap that is just right.

P.O.D. - not sure what I think of 'em yet. A hard sound, more than I'm used to. I have the Greatest Hits album, and all I can say for sure is you have to hear the song "Alive". It's my first dance song :). Awesome.

Barlow Girl - always been interested in them, finally got an album. A little girly, but honest. I like it. Plus, its three sisters singing together, which is cool.

So, two people who read this blog, what do you like? Leave a comment and let me know.
