You are absolutely right that our help comes from wearing the full armor of God, even though it is hard to put it on sometimes! I pray that your words will be medicine for your soul as you recover from surgery. You remain in my prayers!

Karina, your words were so helpful to me today. "Focus on God rather than the problem" Every profession holds its own set of challenges, yea, temptations, and nursing is no exception. Special blessings to you as you walk your walk with Christ through the wonderful profession of nursing! The road is hard, but the rewards great!
