I’m so tired!
Yesterday was a very difficult day at work. The patients kept streaming in the door, right to the last minute, and their problems were not the quick and easy variety we usually see this time of year.
I admit I didn’t always do my best at maintaining the “attitude of gratitude” I talked about yesterday. There were so moments of frustration and some serious muttering under my breath. With no time to eat and patients still coming in the door, it was hard to keep my focus on the positive at times.
We finally got the last patient discharged a little after 9 PM, then had to face the piles of unfinished charts. I could barely keep my eyes open, but the charts had to be done. I got out of there finally at 10 PM.
Unfortunately, when I finally got home I was still keyed up and ended up sleeping poorly. The alarm was the last thing I wanted to hear after a restless night. I’m still feeling a little groggy, but now it’s off to work to do it all again!
I could be discouraged after a day like yesterday, but I know a secret – with God I can do anything! Starting my morning with Him sets the tone for the rest of the day. Isaiah 40:31 promises that “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”
I hope your day went better than mine yesterday, but if it didn’t, don’t be discouraged. Put your hope in the Lord and He will renew your strength. With His help you can not just run or walk today. You can soar!
