I just finished my last clinical shift for this year of nursing school and if there's one thing that I've learned over the past month, it's that I need to care. The best nurses are the ones who truly know what it means to care.
You can tell how much someone cares by how they live their life.
For example, someone who cares about getting high grades in school is going to study hard just as someone who cares about their dog is going to feed it, walk it, bath it, etc.
If you were to look at my life and make a list of the things I care about, you might write the following:
- Friendships
- Church
- School
- Canadian Tire
- Running
- Soccer
- Sleep/Eating
It is not a very long list at all but it is the things that I have as top priorities in my life at the moment.
That's not what it should be.
I want the list to look more like this:
- Jesus
- Other people
- Everything else
What is it going to take to change? The grace of God.
I've proven over and over that I don't put Jesus first the majority of the time in my life but when I do, those days are the best days.
God help me to care about you more than anything else in this world because I know that if I put you first, everything else will naturally fall into it's rightful place.
