August - September
The past few weeks have been trying and very challenging. I am learning a great deal about how we as people have allowed our 'culture' to influence the way in which we live our lives , not only has it effected the way in which we worship but how we treat others and how we communicate too.
It never occured to me that one needent move too far away from home to experience it.
I am starting to better understand the way in which things are run here in the hospital now.We work 12 hour shifts and the days seem to go buy quickly when we are busy. We have procedures that need to be completed and if we feel that we are ready to be assessed by our Clinical Facilitator she marks us according to the current standard. It can be a nerve wrecking experience because we can't leave out one critical point , if we do ,we don't pass and then we need to book again for remmediation.
At the end of each quater we have a certain amount of procedures that need to be completed and sighned off as welll as assignments /ICPCA's ect as well as exams and tests in between. The next few weeks will involve getting all my procedures signed off before I return to college ,we write a mid year exam when we all get back in October so please remember to pray for that.
Our Hospital is involved with a food- project ,each week a department of the hospital provides a meal for about 20 children who attend a spicific school out on one of the farms not to far away from here. Each department gets a turn to go and visit the school and today was our turn to go, although the children's physical and medical needs are beeing met, their spiritual needs are what burden me the most! I met a little girl today, her name is Maria , she looked at me and smiled and said "I like you" but perhaps soon the words of her heart will be"I love Jesus". I look forward to going there again, please lift this project up in pray, that many will come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We also had a cultural day at the Hospital this month, each department was required to bring a cultural meal and get dressed up for the presentation of it - It was a very enjoyable day!
Fellowship at Grace Sasolburg has opened up many oportunities for me to minister to others within the church and I am enjoying getting to know everyone here. All the changes, new relationships have been somewhat streaching for me but I can see now how much I have grown in my dependance on the Lord and I am so greatful for His grace that is sufficient enough always!
I am attempting to get my 1st year Theology course done but I have been struggling to get my work completed with everything else happening, please pray that I will work hard and be disciplined enough to be able to continue with the course. More updates to come soon!
