I was really tired!
Second day back in work and I was woken up at 4.30 am by my daughter being sick. She felt much better afterwards but the prospect of a 12 hour shift ahead of me was rather daunting. As I wrote yesterday I am surrounded by an epic team but what I was grateful for today was Christmas leftovers! I thank God for the abundance of food we're blessed to have, look forward to and which sustains us when all I wanted to do was curl up and sleep.
I must admit I seriously considered not blogging tonight- I don't know what to write. From my alarm going off at 5.45 this morning until I hopped into bed at 10.20 tonight my mind has been so focused on work that I hadn't even remembered today's task.
It's hard to deny that work is difficult at the moment but what I've found is that my ordination training gives me strength and a different perspective which gets me though the tough times. I can't achieve any of it in my own strength - I hand it all over to God. And when he asks me "would you be anywhere else?" The answer is always, unquestionably, "no".

He gives rain on the earth
