"Good Experiences"

I have discovered a new thing about life. There are many things that will set you up to be able to accomplish what you want to in life. Often these are classed as great experiences that teach you so much and help you grow as a person. I came here hoping for one of these experiences or rather a time of this. A time of preparation, learning, growth and lovely stuff like that. I just never realised that what gave you that really great experience often was the hard times that you learnt from. This applies for me at the moment particularly at work. The shifts where i learn the most are the ones that are the very hardest. The ones where there are two many patients, or very sick patients, or a big emergency or the many unexpected things happening. And the shift finishes (as thankfully they all do) and you are exhausted and ready to quit but in actuality you have developed the most in that day. There are probably many paralels to life in general that I could draw if I had the mental capacity at the moment but I will leave that to you. My brain took leave after suffering 4 night duties and the subsequent sleep deprivation. I am not feeling to bad now but my brain is not yet back. Anyway my sister is online in Canada and I would prefer to talk to her than type here so thus ends post.

Yay! You updated, but also talked to me. I love you Shan. And I totally agree about the development stuff. But I also think it has to do with perspective and seeing God in things. Like what I am doing is tough. But everyday He shows me Himslef in it and I have a reason to rejoice. Not because I am trying to, just because He is there and I see Him (I don't think I used to see Him as much as I do now). And so sometimes the hard stuff become good cos you can see God in it.
