| Introduction | I am so grateful for the life I've been given and for my family and friends whose love has helped me survive overwhelming sorrow and pain. After practicing as an RN for twelve years, primarily caring for critically ill children, I can no longer work due to debilitating pain from Endometriosis and Fibromyalgia. I long to be able to work yet know it will happen in God’s timing, not my own. I am willing to leave my hopes and desires in His hands because I know the Father loves me. By the grace of God I may one day again use the skills He’s given me in working with abused and abandoned children. I believe God drew me into the field of Pediatric Critical Care so I could help these little ones know the love and grace my Heavenly Father has shown me. He has been with me through the sorrow, pain and suffering I’ve experienced as well as through times of great happiness and joy. I am cradled in my Father’s arms so how can I not adore Him for His wonderful love, the Love that “will not let me go”? |
