A Little Gift

I believe sometimes God just does things because He can. He did one of those things for me today. After almost two weeks of learning new policies, procedures, and computer documentation at my new job, I was finally going to begin my orientation on the maternity care unit. I was really nervous and anxious as I have been out of hospital nursing for more than 2 years. The day was going along alright, yet, I felt very overwhelmed and sad. I missed our ministry in Guatemala. I never thought I would return to hospital nursing again. I know that God led us here, but sometimes He is hard to follow. Well, the day was almost over and a new patient came into our unit. She was not my patient, but since she only spoke Spanish, the nurse assigned to her asked me to translate. I went willingly and prayed that I would be able to understand her Spanish. It turned out not to be a problem at all as she was Guatemalan and lived less than a 10 minute drive from our old home in Guatemala!!!
I don't believe in coincidences, but I do believe God gives us little gifts sometimes just because He can. And that is exactly what He did for me today.
