"Being Used....But Not In The Way You Are Thinking"

I have to say that the hours leading up to work tonight were not very pleasant for me. I wasn't able to get enough sleep as I would have liked (usually sleep till 3 or 4 and awoke today at 1:30), I had to go straight to the house we are remodeling and work there for 2 hours, I was having major hunger pangs as I have started a diet, and just wasn't feeling like the greatest Christian. I prayed before I went to work that God would change my attitude and give me energy. Well I must say that He was defenitely faithful tonight (as He is always). I was driving to work and was listening to some praise and worship and then all of a sudden it just hit me. I just felt God's love and joy flow through me and in the course of literally 10 seconds. And in that 10 seconds my whole mood made a 180. I was happy, looking forward to my night, and wondering how He would use me. I must say that He has put alot of great people in my path to care for tonight. I am working TCU and it is going just great. I feel so blessed that He was able to use me in one situation in particular. There is a women named Beverly who is having an angiogram tomorrow. When I first went in to check her vital signs she expressed the anxiety she was having about her test in the morning. I feel that the Lord really spoke through me and that I was able to comfort her with His guidance. She also did not know much about the test she was having and said that they really didn't give her a whole lot of information about it. I was able to find a really good resource online that had a plethura of information about angiograms. I gave her this information and I think that since she now knows what to expect in the morning she will enter into it with much more peace. I also assured her that I would pray for her which she really appreciated. I must say that I really do enjoy going to the prayer chapel at like 330 or 4 to individually pray for my patients. I can't really explain it but I feel as if God is closer and is really listening. Not that He isn't at other times I pray but it just feels stronger during this time. So yeah, it was good to be used tonight, and it made me remember the fact that You never know how or when God is going to use You for His glory.
