So here's a bit of an update. I received my placement yesterday at the Hospital and I'm going to spend the next 4 months working on the Burn Unit.  The hospital I'm working at has one of the only intensive care burn units in Dallas.  This is pretty heavy and intense for me as I know I'll be around some pretty young children too.  

My supervisor told me yesterday that when you are in difficult situations in the hospital it is almost always best to look people straight in the eye.  I'm going to put this into practice today. 

I know that I am put in this place at this time for exactly this purpose but I'm still feeling the panic of wondering what I should say when I interact with people. 

This makes it clear to me that I can't minister out of my own strength.

Ex. 15:2 The LORD is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

1Chr. 16:11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
