I was seriously loopy by the 13th hour. But I was very blessed by my patients. One of them prayed over her lunch tray (jellow and chicken broth) with her husband, another prayed that I would be persuasive when advocating her case to the doctor, and the first made several comments about prayer.
I've been spending time trying to reconnect with my Creator, so these were great little messages to get today. I've been reading Mere Christianity and it means so much more to me now that I've been "out in the world" a little and I'm not reading it from the perspective of a senior at a Christian high school. And I've got my favorite Christian songs on repeat that I listen to in the morning and at night before bed.
As I drove away from the parking garage tonight I realized that even though I was exhausted, I had really enjoyed it. And I haven't felt like that since early morning CUEMS runs. I always attributed being this happy to being at CU or being with my good godly friends, but I think I gave them all too much credit. I think this joy-after-14-hours-of-bodily-fluids is a result of focuing on God, and therefore my real purpose. I don't have to get As, I don't have to be super-nurse, I don't have to do it all without help, and perfectly, and the first time.
Anyway, I should really get to bed so I can do this all over again tomorrow!
