I try to always remember to invite God into my day. I love having Him tag along with me even when I have a 12.5 hour work day like I had today.

Yesterday I was planning on having a breather. I only had four patients and I really wanted to get home early. Then I got a call from the office asking if I could take the new nurse along with me again. I love the new nurse, seriously, I love her, but training someone else always adds more time to my visits.

I had a trach patient though so I offered to take her along for that and another patient because this is the second trach patient I had ever seen in my entire nursing career. Plus the trach patient’s husband is just the coolest black guy ever and I am so proud of how he takes care of his wife I like to show him off.

So I made arrangements for her to meet me at a patient’s house and then I would drive to the other two visits. So we met up. When she got in the car I asked her how her day had gone and she told me it hadn’t gone so well. So I let her vent for a little bit but within five minutes tops I had her laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

It is hilarious because we are about as opposite in our personality types as they come but yet we crack each other up without even intending to. I think that God knew she needed to laugh and He just made sure that she teamed up with me for a little bit to get her giggling again.

He also taught me a very important lesson yesterday. When you ask God to be involved in your day, it seldom is about you. It is most commonly all about someone else and twice as much fun.
