I was shocked, I didn't cry.
<p>It was about three months ago during my clinical posting at a local health center.</p><p><br/></p><p>That day, we had three emergency cases back-to-back. My body was worn out. My mind was racing. Thank God I had eaten, because I donāt think I would have stood through all that on an empty stomach.</p><p><br/></p><p>One moment is still etched in my mind.</p><p>A young woman came in with a severe asthma attack. She was shaking so violently, it looked like her whole body was being controlled by something else.</p><p><br/></p><p>In my head I thought, āIs this a medical crisisā¦ or a spiritual one? Should I be reaching for a nebulizerā¦ or casting out a demon?ā</p><p><br/></p><p>I was new. I was shocked. I was overwhelmed.</p><p>And yet ā I didnāt cry.</p><p><br/></p><p>Hereās the truth: nursing will expose you to moments that test both your skill and your soul.</p><p>Some days, your hands will shake.</p><p>Other days, your heart will.</p><p><br/></p><p>But hereās what Iām learning:</p><p>1. Asthma attacks are terrifying, but theyāre a real, physical condition. The body constricts, the patient panics, and every breath feels like war.</p><p>2. Itās also a spiritual reminder. Life itself is breath ā and God is the giver of every breath (Genesis 2:7).</p><p>3. When our strength runs out, His strength takes over (2 Corinthians 12:9).</p><p><br/></p><p>That day reminded me that my role is more than procedures and vitals. Itās also presence, prayer, and persistence.</p><p>So to anyone weary in your calling ā whether nursing, teaching, parenting, or serving:</p><p>šš½ Keep showing up.</p><p>šš½ Keep learning.</p><p>šš½ Keep leaning on God.</p><p>Because āto be spiritually minded is life and peaceā (Romans 8:6).</p><p><br/></p>
