Love my Job?

I worked last night...if that is what you want to call it....I think I have the best job that there is...I work as a Registered Nurse at a Nursing call center...We triage symptoms and advise callers whether or not they should go to the ER....ect....The job itself is a great one...but the benefits that come along with it are outstanding.....Last night I worked with one of my good friends, and we had an absolute "grand ole' time!" and to beat it all--we got paid for it!! Don't get me wrong...We did our job...answered all the calls, did all the menial paperwork that is required for night shift to do, and got the office cleaned up....But in between calls, there was some wonderful conversation, some serious gasping for air laughing, some snorting coffee up your nose carrying on...I mean, there is just something about being awake at 4 am, when the rest of the world is asleep, that makes me go a little crazy!!! Ask Lisa, she had to work with me....=) Giddy? I think that word would have described us around 4 this am....I would share some of unbelievable funnies with you guys, but for some reason, as I rethink the humorous thoughts....at 8am this morning...they are no where near as funny....It is just something about being up all night that we just get a little silly!!! The Lord is Good...His plan for our lives is laid out...and for some reason, while we sit here on Earth...thinking we know what is best...It seems difficult to just TRUST him....When I first began this job...I had to leave a job that I had been at for 10 years...Change is not good for me...I don't handle it well....But I took a leap of faith, and here I am ...2 years later....LOVING my job...and my co-workers....A few of them are very special to me-especially my "Night Shift Girls"....So yes, I may be sleep deprived 80% of the time, but I am not missing out on my kids' lives and I have FUN at work!! Thank you Lord for always knowing what is best for me. My eyes are crossing now...good night...or to most of you "normal" people....good morning....

There is nothing like a good 'snort coffee up your nose' laugh! And there is nothing like good friends to laugh with. Sounds like you have a wonderful job (even if you do have to stay up all night ;-).

Ephesians 2:10 "For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do".
