Attitude Adjustment

When God spoke to me about my attitude yesterday, my first thought was, "Really, God? Are you sure?!" heehee, I guess that's exactly why He did! :o)


I was on a prayer walk, and I praying verses back to God (i figured if God said it in the Bible then He meant it and it's okay to say it back to Him :). And I was praying about the verse on loving God with all your heart and soul and mind and strength. As I pondered this, I was praying about what it really means to love God with all of my heart, especially about how to do this with some many other things that vie for my attention.

And--WHAM-O! It was like the Lord hit me between the eyeballs! One of the ways that I can show that I love Him is my heart's attitude at work. Work in the ER for me is a really hard time to think about God, or really think about anything but the next thing that I need to do, be it sewing up a kid's forehead, pulling a plastic frog arm out of a kid's ear, or taking care of people who were in a "car accident" because a car drove into their trailer. But the Lord made it so clear to me yesterday!

My attitude, about work or whatever task is before me, is one way that I can love Him. So often, I get caught up in the task, but it's exciting to think that even the way that I think about things and perform those tasks can be done as an act of love for my Savior.

It even made me kinda excited to go to work!!
