Christian Women in Leadership

glory be...

one last spiritual thought for today, it's going to have to be brief because I'm very tired. I wanted to mention this thought though before I forgot the entire thing..

Last week in the ER, a pediatrician on-call was paged. I had never met her before, but man did she love kids. I mean, she was singing to the baby (that we had to do a spinal tap on). She ended up doing my job, which is being the "holder." yup, I have no muscles. She didn't mind though. And she kept calling the baby "babylove"!

Later that night, I went up to the peds floor to drop off a patient, and I saw her again, and she was just so happy to be there! It got me thinking--I wonder what is my job to do. I mean, I want to be a doctor, but I'm not sure what specialty, I think working with the mentally ill (psychiatry), but I'm not sure. In the same way that her glory is to be a pediatrician, I wonder what would be my glory--what I am created to do and am really good at. I'd like to glorify the Lord in something!

disclaimer: not that our callings are always pure joy that we do not have struggles in them. of course not.
