Oh Nurse

Pain what brings it on. Many types of them. Ones you can take something for and ones you can't. How we deal with that depends on what type.
In the past several months I have watch many I love go through some terrible pain. I am not sure it is harder for the one going through or the one watching them suffer and not sure of how to calm that fear. I think for the caregiver it would be much easier for them to carry the burden. Believe me I am not one for pain especially the internal kind. Cut me all you want but don't give me any type of stomach thing. Can't handle them kinds. Now I know why I didn't go into the nursing business. For the most part I would be" come on it's a little cut. " But we all handle things differently. Emotional pain now that would be hard and when physical and emotional come together...ugh. Hard to handle.
I do believe that God doesn't give us more than we can handle also. That, in the past, has helped me numerous times. In times of trials, we grow stronger. We are made to lean on others. We go through so that one day, our experiences are the ROCK for others.
As I run there are times I feel like giving up. It's too hard, it's too long, it's too hot, if it doesn't kill me; it makes me stronger. I am much stronger in so many ways. I am on a journey. I am where I am suppose to be. Giving up, not an option. Turning back, not now. Pressing forward, one step at a time. Looking up and moving one day at a time. I hope that others see and believe also.
