That's my hope and prayer, is for the Lord to use me for whatever work He wants me to do for Him. When I brought this situation to Him, He showed me how easily we could go back to our old ways when all He wanted is always healing, restoration, forgiveness, humbleness...And when we choose to follow His leading, what a relief! So to God be the glory!

The smart and wise thing to do was to seek the Lord for guidance, healing, and restoration before things got way too out of hand. <br /><br />God will truly bless you for acknowledging something that needed to be fix and for not being too prideful to humble yourself before Him in His presence.<br /><br /><br />Blessings to you always!!Toiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12410215784278599227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-51765825825583101332009-06-14T15:31:40.990-07:002009-06-14T15:31:40.990-07:00JBR: Ahhh...I needed those [[[]]]]. Thank you :) I...JBR: Ahhh...I needed those [[[]]]]. Thank you :) I think you're right about something building up even before that nurse had us do a LOT of stuff! I've been there for years and I think I was just tired of seeing how the lazy ones get away with things and those who work hard don't even get "thank you's". Not that I'm seeking recognition[I'd rather get His praise], and also not that I'm not aware of injustices to occur in this world, but I just got so overwhelmed that particular day and I knew I had to do something since no one was speaking up. It became a heavy burden but not until I surrendered it to the Lord and He took it away from me just like that. Long time ago, I felt blessed for the Lord to have me witness a spiritual battle which turned up to be a great reminder for me to know where the greatest power comes from. So, glory to God for making me aware all the time that Satan had been defeated already! Thank you for encouraging me :)rcubesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-41480633689099629672009-06-14T15:22:53.795-07:002009-06-14T15:22:53.795-07:00Sister Kat: You hit it right on the spot and truly...Sister Kat: You hit it right on the spot and truly understood about that nurse wanting to get the praise [yet it was the others doing the work]. There is no problem with the team leader being recognized for a job well done. The only problem was that she made it look like she was working hard, too when the day charge nurse came to relieve her. Come over when I post about the 2nd part:) I have sooo much comfort posting about this situation, knowing that all of you, my blogging friends are always there to help me lift it up to the Lord. And I truly am grateful for all of your friendships and being great sisters to me!rcubesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-47825459908027815602009-06-14T13:47:43.786-07:002009-06-14T13:47:43.786-07:00Awwww, precious one ((((Rosel))), you know I certa...Awwww, precious one ((((Rosel))), you know I certainly understand what you are experiencing. You are human, as was stated! This frustration/anger was building up way long before 'charge nurse' gave you extra responsibilities. Under those circumstances, the way you relayed it here, you did very well! Nothing to feel guilty about what so ever. I am so pleased you call upon our Lord regardless of what you feel, which would be defeat! But, that is just what satan wants you to feel, defeated! You are not. You are a child of God that is only human!<br /><br />Blessings dear one!!

What would Jesus do? I don't believe He would take it, but gently and calmly explain the situation and if you have any available time left in your day, you'd be more than happy to help. <br /><br />It seems like this charge nurse is looking for the glory in a job well done at the expense of others and I believe it's time for you to let her know how you feel. Pray about it and ask God for the words you need to speak. We just need to watch our attitudes and the words that come out of our mouth. <br /><br />We will be praying for God's guidance in this matter and hope that the Holy Spirit begins a work of healing in this womans life. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-12346074397129392292009-06-14T09:52:59.326-07:002009-06-14T09:52:59.326-07:00Sister Cynthia: I treasure your comments knowing t...Sister Cynthia: I treasure your comments knowing that I'm dealing with the "girl from the glass house" and I truly appreciate the honesty.

Setting boundaries is NOT an easy thing. It sounds to me like you set 2 boundaries here:<br />1. Knowing your limits and setting them at times like these was not wrong, not lazy, or slacking.<br />2. Knowing and recognizing your emotions and clearly setting the boundary NOT to talk at the moment was awesome! and very wise!<br /><br />You have laid this at the feet of Jesus and now the Holy Spirit can lead and guide you as you return. <br /><br />Being a Christian/believer does not mean we can be run to the ground or taken advantage of. <br /><br />I will pray for Strength, wisdom and discernment and for you to continue to set godly boundaries :)<br /><br />blessings to youLorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342381156917160229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61790705902516172.post-2585826354212450762009-06-13T20:25:56.603-07:002009-06-13T20:25:56.603-07:00Knowing how close you abide in Christ every day, I...Knowing how close you abide in Christ every day, I'm sure your co-workers recognize the spirit you operate in.
