2020 has not been a good year for anyone, and I don't think any of us saw this global pandemic coming our way.
In the midst of it all and the fears of continuing to work in ED as things escalate, I am still immensely grateful for a stable income and a great team to power through together. I am blessed to know my family is safe, and above all that God is still good and almighty.
I read this in my devotions this morning:
"Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. And she had a sister named Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.
And Jesus said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
- Luke 11:38 - 42
...
In this season, I feel like I'm becoming more and more like Martha - spending hours reading the news, going through work drills of intubating a COVID positive patient, checking and re-checking the national tallies.. what a timely reminder this is indeed that I can pause, breathe, and take a moment to sit at the feet of Jesus and let Him rejuvenate my soul.
In every circumstance, He is a good, good Father, and His grace will carry us through. We may not understand it now, but one day, we will see how He never left our side through every tear and heartbreak.
As Spurgeon put it, a Jesus who never wept could never wipe away my tears.
How blessed I am indeed to know this Jesus. <3 div="">
