Busy, Busy, Busy

I haven't written in my blog for 10 days! How do we end up with so little free time in our lives? I know I do it to myself, but it does seem that there are times that are busier than others.

It has been another rough week at work, but the Lord gets me through or I could never continue. I have been in EMS for 8 1/2 years and I've always said that God will not give me more than I can handle. (That is scriptural, you know) This week I began to think God must have more faith in me than I do. I worked an ATV wreck a few days ago in which a 4-year old boy died. This was my 1st "child-death" while working EMS. It is hard to think about, but I really did okay I guess, because there were other patients that required my attention at the time. I always seem to "get the job done", it is always that night or the next few days that I have a hard time.

"Thank you Lord for giving me the strength to continue doing this job and being able to comfort people at their time of need."

I am off work this weekend and I plan to be a lazy bum! Maybe we will get a few things done around the house. The kitchen is FINALLY finished... well, mostly it is functional at least! We have a few modifications/adjustments to make, but it is nice to have a stove and running water again!

I am a lot like that too: suspending an emotional release until what needs done, is done. I would have a hard time with the 4-year-old too; I'm sorry.
