Daily Meditations of a Nurse Warrior

Where does your faith come from? Timothy shares with us that his sincere faith came from both his grandmother, Lois, and mother, Eunice (see 2 Timothy 1:5). Because of these ladies, Timothy came to know and believe in Jesus. As you ponder your faith, take in to consideration those who influence and impact your life. #beapositiveinfluence #example & #rolemodel

When it comes to serving others, it isn't about your resume or accomplishments, only your willingness to want to help others without expecting anything in return. When you are able to provide such a service, especially to "the least of these," (Matthew 25:40), remember that whatever you did for them, you also do for Him (see 25:40). #chosetoserve & #betransformed

Even with the best of intentions, we are reminded by Proverbs 19:21 that "it is the Lord's purpose that prevails" and not ours. Therefore, when the unexpected happens, know that there is a reason why and embrace it. #learntogowiththeflow

Even "though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, I will rejoice in the Lord" (Habakkuk 3:17-18). No matter the circumstance, God is good and worthy of our praises. #thereisjoyineverything

At every turn, the world looks to tear down, criticize, or take credit for others hard work, instead of praising, supporting, and giving credit where credit is due. So, remember, when in "the midst of lions," among "men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords" (Psalm 57:4), that there is only One person who you can turn to for mercy and refuge (see v. 1). #staythecourse #continuetoflourish & #fightthegoodfight

We live in a country that allows us to do just about anything. With this wide birth, we are also tasked to not do anything that will cause our brother or sister to fall (see Romans 14:21). When we mindfully limit ourselves for another's sake, it is out of love and respect. #mindfulliving

Knowingly or not, He is everywhere. When we comprehend that He is with us, always, we can rest assure that He will protect and keep us safe, just as He was "in the sight of all the Israelites during all their travels," with a cloud over the tabernacle, by day, and a fire in the cloud, by night (Exodus 40:38). #beginanewandlastingfriendship

Relationships teach us a great deal about people; and of those relationships, some will last and some won't. It is when we figure out and make the decision to surround ourselves with like-minded people that we will experience a happier and healthier life filled with joy. So, when you find those rare relationships, consider giving thanks to God every time you remember them, (see Philippians 1:3), praying "with joy" (v. 4). #trueandlastingfriendships

As much as we want to believe or think that we can completely rely on ourselves and/or others to give us the strength, safety, and security that we need, we can not. There is only one person whom we can truly rely on to be able to do so. It is when we put our faith and trust in Him that he will be driven "like a peg in to a firm place" (Isaiah 22:23). #ouranchor

Today is a very special day, one of great joy, just as it was when Mary Magdalene went to Jesus' tomb and saw him. When she realized it was Jesus, she ran to the disciples and told them: "I have seen the Lord!" (John 20:18). Even though we do not see him, as Mary did, He remains within and beside us, always. He has risen; and risen, indeed, he has! #EasterBlessings2021
