I'm ready for this day to be over....

Just feel exhausted. But I have lots left to accomplish tonight.
Kids are fast asleep.
Paul is at a meeting and won't be home for a bit.
I need to fit in another hour or so of productivity!!

Dad is heading to Haiti on Friday with Mercy Ships. He has had his paperwork in for weeks and has just been waiting for a call from them. They called this afternoon and asked if he could come tomorrow. They are in great need of an anesthesia person immediately. Like they said...tomorrow. After much scrambling, he is on a flight out on Friday. He is flying into Port au Prince and will be working in a MASH tent in the city. They informed him that he would not have access to monitors or anesthesia machines. He will be using techniques from the dark ages. And I'm pretty sure he can't wait to get there and get busy. He'll be staying until March 10. They also told him to bring a cot. The rainy season is approaching and a sleeping bag would not be sufficient. He'll be bringing his own medical supplies as well.

And now back to me being wiped. I just am. Emotionally and physically wiped. The quiet in this house is allowing my brain to think and process and it's just crazy. Life, that is.
It's just crazy. And so fleeting. I so don't want to waste it. I do not want to waste this life. We only get one chance. I pray that my eyes continue to open to those hurting places where I can be used for good.

Enough thinking. Back to work!

Cassie, dear child, sometimes we just need to let ourselves be enfolded in His arms and let Him love us back together.
