Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior
How aware are you of yourself and your surroundings? It is so easy to get wrapped up in our own self that we forget and/or neglect those around us. When this happens, we are reminded, and instructed by God, to look out and “show mercy and compassion to one another” (Zachariah 7:9). Might you become more mindfully aware of others. #SeeingTheBigPicture❤️#ANWAdvocatingForHealthyLivesHomesAndWorkEnvironments

What are the makings of a great team? For a team to be great, each player must be willing to give, selflessly, of their God-given talents to “form one body” (Romans 12:5); and when they do they are very tough to beat. Might you seek the We’s and not the I’s. #TheWe‘s❤️#ANWAdvocatingForHealthyLivesHomesAndWorkEnvironments

What does food bring to your table?
Besides being essential to our survival and well-being, food also represents so much more, and a few of those are love, faithfulness and salvation. Such significance originated with Him; for it all began when "He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them" (Luke 22:19). In do so, He challenges us, every time that we eat, to "do this in remembrance of [him]" (22:19). Now and forevermore, may all of your meals be filled with love and gratitude. #ALanguageOfLove

What's your hurry?
The world can be a very busy place; and when you get caught up in life's rush, you can find yourself missing out on some of the most important and memorable moments of your life. When this happens, you many want to reevaluate your priorities and lifestyle. So, if you truly want to slow down, remember and be present, you might "wait for the LORD; [and] be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD" (Psalm 27:14). For when you are in His peace (see Isaiah 26:3), he will keep you balanced in life's rush. #SlowDown & #MakeTheTime

What keeps you going and doing what you do?
Not many, if any, respond well to adverse situations. Instead, it is with encouragement that strengthens our resolve so that we can get through times that make us want to quit or give up, just as Paul and Barnabas did with doubting believers who were wavering in their faith (see Acts 14:21-22). Whatever the times, I hope that you remain encouraged and are encouraging to others, because when you are you will be able to get through and finish anything you set your mind to, along with helping others on the way. #YesYouCan

How much do you want to know?
Not everything is readily understandable. Some things, words or actions, take more time than others to understand. It is when we take the time, in prayer, that "the LORD [will give us] wisdom; from his mouth [will] come knowledge and understanding" (Proverbs 2:6). So, if you really want to know something, might you let Him help you understand. #BeSmart & #AskForHelp

How blessed are you?
Today, we celebrate the greatest nation in the world. She is a country with a love so great that she has chosen to lay down her life as to save ours (see John 15:13 & 17), just as our Lord has also done. As we honor and celebrate her, might you remember her, as well as his, constant and unwavering love and sacrifice for us and our great nation. #GodBlessAmerica & #HappyBirthdayAmerica2022

How judgmental are you of others?
Judgment of others is rampant; and when we choose to judge others, we run the risk of misjudgment and misunderstanding. Fortunately, with Him, we need not worry about either, because "he will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears" (Isaiah 11:3), for he knows us well. Might you know a person and/or situation, like He does, before you pass judgment. #LeaveItToHim

How do you survive and thrive?
It is very understandable to want to keep to yourself, especially after being hurt by another. With this being said, God understands; but He still wants you to build and have relationships with others. When you do so, you mature (see Ephesians 4:13) and become "humble and gentle" and "patient" (4:16). I hope you choose to grow in your relationship with Him, as well as others, and others so that you can survive and thrive in and through anything. #BetterTogether
