You exhale and let it all out
Sometimes healing comes on a normal Tuesday morning. You don’t recognize it, you fight it. And brush it aside. You do what you’ve been doing for years, trying to get by. You don’t accept it. Then, when you least expect it, closure arrives many moons later, on an ordinary Saturday afternoon. You glance to your…

This is why I became a PICU nurse
If you have been following me for a while now, you know I am a PICU nurse. For those of you just stumbling across my blog for the first time, now you know! Most people aren’t familiar with PICU.. it is the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. I take care of critically ill children. I often…

Today was a hard day
When circumstances around us become almost unbearable, we wonder “God have you forgotten about us?” But, you calm my soul the way you calm the waters and say “for I am going to do something new in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.”

The year of the Orchid
Orchids represent love, beauty, and strength. Well on my birthday this past year, March 2019, my sister gifted me with an orchid. I haven’t kept much of anything alive this past year.

Nothing short of the goodness of God
I easily forget the goodness of God. I easily forget his faithfulness and how he provides. I get so wrapped up in worry that when I really need to remember, I don’t. It was the coldest day of year, the coldest day since maybe the 1940s and I followed all the directions I was given…

Sometimes there are miracles
Everyone always has an opinion about someone else. And that’s where this story starts. I had no opinion of this man when I first met him. But everyone I knew said this of him, he would admit just about every kid that comes into the emergency room to the PICU. I don’t fully know what…

That PICU nurse LIFE
No one can understands what a PICU nurse feels, thinks, and experiences.. that is, besides her PICU coworkers in her moments of true devastation. It’s Pediatric Nurse Week, and some people don’t know what we do, no one seems to know what a PICU is… and my biggest pet peeve – when they confuse PICU…
