Mama said there'd be days like this...

...there'd be days like this Mama said.

Well today went a bit better... it's hard being the student and not knowing everything, but didnt feel like such a nuisance today. So thats nice. The negative thing is it seems like everyone wants to gossip and whine at the end of the day and it ust puts me in a foul mood. I swore off gossiping after or during my senior year of high school and I try to avoid it at all costs. The hard part this time is I dont want to run off on my CI and look like I'm tryin to skip out on my job there as a student. I want to be readily available to her, but at the end of the day when I know we arent going to be doing anything else, I wish I had the gall to just ask her if I can go.

Oh well, here comes the weekend! Mom and Daddy are comin in so that should be fun! It's my Papaw's birthday so they're coming down for that and to see us kids!

On a more positive note, the Lord is still good and He is my refuge in the times of trouble. So i will lean on him and find solitude in the midst of the storm :-D

1 Thessalonians 5:12-18-- And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

the tough days

You know how some days just dont seem to go your way? You start off the day having woke up late, and then you go to work or school and everything seems to be a little off. Every little thing adds up until you just feeling like youre going to break?

yea... today was one of those days. It's hard sometimes to try to be so strong. Between the "red dragon", missing Jon, starting my new clinical rotation, moving to Huntington, the stress of graduation and trying to do my best at the hospital, i just broke down when i got home.

BUT the Lord is good, and He is gracious. He had never failed me yet, and i dont expect him to start today.

2 Corinthians 9:9-10-- And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
