The lion

About a week ago I was really distraught over the world and I told God to come down and all of a sudden in my patio this image appears of a lion and to the left of that a cross! It was amazing! Even my children were amazed! We then went to life way a few days ago and there was this shirt with a lion head in center of cross and the verse Revelation 5:5: "weep No more; behold, the lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals". Jesus is the lion, he wins in the end.. So take heart , he has overcome the world!!

You make me brave

The other day I was having a bad day at work..the type of Bad day where you wonder what you just did since it was so busy..and you question if you are supposed to continue. Don't get me wrong..I LOVE my job but on days like that it's VERY difficult..this job is probably the most stressful but most rewarding!!! I get in the car after my crazy shift and this song immediately comes on "you make me brave" by Bethel music..Sooooo AWESOME!!! At once I felt peace and felt HIS strength to continue in doing what He has called me to do!! Also a few days prior I had a patient that was having bad anxiety..started an iv on her and some blood had dripped onto the sheet and it formed a PERFECT heart!!!I told her that's Jesus saying he LOVES you..It was so AWESOME!!!

struggling

I've been recently struggling with things (how America is in a downfall, things happening overseas, all the negative , etc). It's easy to get down with world events but we need to remind ourselves that GOD is on his throne..he is still in control No matter what is happening around us..It's easy to lose sight of him and the enemy wants you to focus on the negative instead of God and all the positive. We must stay strong especially now. Anyway, I was really feeling down and last night I just prayed that God would send his angels down and comfort me..around 130am I felt my bed move at the head of my bed..i looked over and my husband was sound asleep. I asked for God to reveal himself but I just felt his peace (good enough for me..I don't need to "see" to be comforted). So then I met with one of my friends/team member and she said her overall volume is 333. She had no idea that's the number God communicates with me to let me know he's near. I felt so much better..sometimes we just need him to show us or tell us whatever so we can keep on going..ask and you shall receive!!!

Mary night

A few weeks ago we had "mary night" ..a night of reflection /worship/communion. My mom just retired from the school and has been having some difficulty adjusting to being "retired" and letting go /grieving over her job. It's hard when you work for so many years and think "now what?". Anyway..It was an awesome time and we discussed letting go of our fears and trusting God. We each were given a verse to read and I got Jeremiah 29: 11 which was my verse at my walk to Emmaus. My mom got Romans 4: 5 "However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness." WOW!! Everyone that was there got a verse that meant something to them or ministered to them in such a great way! At the end, we were talking to one of my friends and she was telling me how she had lily in her group for VBS and how lily shared the story how my mom was healed 6 years ago. My mom and I then proceed to walk into the living room to gather our things and on the tv (she had it on christian music channel)...the song that started was the song that ministered to me while Mom was ill 6 years ago from 10th avenue north (hold my heart).. We both instantly were overwhelmed and then i started to leave and another lady that was there shared her story how God conveyed to her to be still and know he is God...which was what Jesus conveyed to my mom when he healed her 6 years ago! I felt like God was wanting to remind my mom what he did for her 6 years ago..that he is the HEALER and he is her comforter etc..That all she has to do is keep her eyes on Him and he will direct her paths.. She did feel better after that..sometimes we all need reminders of what God has done for us especially when you are down.

the Cross

I woke up on Good friday and I was in the bathroom and looked down and there was this cross bracelet on the floor (probably from one of my daughters)..I thought "that's neat" being that it's good Friday. I then walked to the kitchen and my foot touched something. I looked down and there was this small cross. Wasn't sure what kind of material it was at first but it felt foamy. Wow..a second cross within 5 min..! I then went to work and one of my patients had a newspaper with crosses on it.It reallly is amazing how God shows us things if we have our eyes open to it~

Er position

I am currently a home health nurse and a few weeks ago I decided to just browse the jobs online and came across a part time ER position. I was excited since I worked ER 5 years ago and felt that was my niche out of all the jobs I had done so far. I reallly loved the excitement of it all and taking care of many different conditions/patients. I started praying that If God wants me there he will make it happen and show me different signs. A few weeks go by after I had applied and the nurse called me and offered me to come in for an interview. I went and knew a MD I worked with at previous hospital in ER there and a nurse I knew from my military wives group that I used to be apart of. I remember her saying " I work part time in the ER and I thought that would be great to have a part time job (only 2 days a week) . Part time by the way is hard to find ..it's either full time or prn and even that it's usually night shift since hardly anywone desires to work nights. It turns out I will be taking her position since she's moving to south FL! The interview went very well and she said most likely I have the positiion and will let me know Wed. I then went home very excited but then I thought "I haven't worked er in 5 years..i have forgotten a lot of things ..am i really made for this job..do i trust myself..etc. " I also told my husband I need a refresher on splints since we have to do our own splinting and then a knock came at the door about 10min later and it was a neighbor with her son who had fallen and fractured his wrist! I had ace wrap on me so we wrapped it and applied ice and she took him to ER. It was just odd I just got done talking about splints and a fracture shows up at my door!!! What are the chances? I got the call Thursday that I have the position! My other work took it well..It will be hard to leave my co workers since they are like family. I can't wait to see What God has in store for me in the meantime.
