This weekend involves staying with a friend and her family in San Antonio, because tonight I have an on call shift from 11 pm to 7 am. Yep, it’s going to be intense. My prayer is simply that I handle every situation I get as best as I can. The work is so hard, physically.. emotionally.. spiritually… But I feel called to love people, and that’s what I plan to do tonight.

God, grant me peace. Let my presence bring peace to those in the hospital. Help me to be present to the people at the hospital. Help me be my best self, so as to offer them the best chaplain. Thank you for your faithfulness. Amen.
