Ok my last post I talked about a difficult day on Friday and how it was tough for me to engage. I put some of my plan into practice today and it was great.
I entered the Burn unit and started at one room and just worked my way down the floor talking and praying with all the patients. This is a particularly difficult floor as you can imagine. There was one room that I almost passed by because the door was closed but I knocked and went in anyways. I met a man who had only been there since Friday but was burned pretty badly. As we talked he wept and I cried too. His life has changed so much in just the blink of an eye the camp stove he was using to cook dinner exploded and he caught fire. He was wrestling with what his life would look like when he left the hospital and why this happened to him. I'm glad God had me at that place at that time.
Thinking Theologically in that place is tough but it's also an important thing to do. Wrestling with purpose and with God's plan in the midst of that experience is so tough.
I'm pretty excited to go back tomorrow and connect with many of the same patients again. Today I was reminded that God is using me in spite of me.
