| Carrying the load of being the Orthopedic & Plastic Surgery Team Leader/Ward Manager, the Assistant Ward Supervisor, & Interim Ward Supervisor all at once was intense! This photo is evidence of just how I felt. I wanted to get into a box (well, you can see I did that)...hide...or get shipped home! I didn't get shipped home, but I did fly home for a much needed break a few weeks ago! Despite the challenges I have faced here on the ship this year.... I resolve to live by the lyrics to one of my current favorite songs by Kerrie Roberts...NO MATTER WHAT! |
No Matter What
I'm running back to Your promises, one more time
I'm running back to Your promises, one more time
Lord that’s all I can hold on to
I’ve got to say this has taken me, by surprise
But nothing surprises You
Before a heartache, can ever touch my life
It has to go through Your hands
And even though I, I keep asking why
I keep asking why
No matter what, I’m gonna love You
No matter what, I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not - I’ll trust You
No matter what (no matter, no matter what, no matter)
No matter what (no matter, no matter what – no matter, no matter what)
When I’m stuck in this nothingness, by myself
I’m just sitting in silence
There’s no way I can make it, without Your help
I won’t even try it
I know You have Your reasons, for everything
So I will keep believing
Whatever I might be feeling
God You are my hope, and You’ll be my strength
No matter what, I’m gonna love You
No matter what, I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not - I’ll trust You
No matter what (no matter, no matter what, no matter)
No matter what (no matter, no matter what – no matter, no matter what)
Anything I don’t have, You can give it to me
But it’s OK if You don’t
I’m not here for those things
The touch of Your love is enough on its own
And no matter what, I still love You
And I’m gonna need You
No matter what, I’m gonna love You
No matter what, I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not - I’ll trust You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, but if not, I’ll trust You
No matter what (no matter)
No matter what (no matter, no matter what)
No matter - no matter what
(No matter - no matter what)
No matter - no matter what
(No matter - no matter what)
No matter - no matter what

Hi, I have been looking for new posts. Your Aunt JOy said you were in Boston for awhile. I do still pray for you. I sometimes get lax in getting done what I should but that goes with my territory of late. Just wanted to know I do think of you. I do know how hard it can be at work sometimes. We nurses always know there is more to be done. I love you. Grandma Jan
I just listened to the song on YouTube and I have heard it a lot but reading the lyrics and thinking about the heartache you see every day I sat and cried. Albert is doing an interniship at Metro Ministries in NYC and he is being challenged by the work and heartache and so I sent the song on to him too.
Anthonette is with YWAM in Germany-- Marriage of the Arts. Thank you so much for your example and your openness to encourage others to step out. Misty
