For the past few months I have wondered what my next in life is. What is my mission? What should i be doing? I have completed my degree,have a job I love, and everything that I set out to have. Well according to my life plan I should have been married by now. But I'm not and I'm not going to wait around for Mr.Right to come along. But today it hit me. I am placed where i am being in the stage of life i am to help those around me. I can be a source of help and love for anyone I come in contact with. Certain events in the past few months have shown me this.
1-I was able to be at work and get a friend and a family member in so they wouldn't have to sit in the waiting room for hours upon hours in pain. I was able to help them and take care of them. This shift was a bonus shift i had picked up and my singles ward has been canceled that day due to the snow. Right place/right time.
2-A friend at work needed a shift off really quick because his Grandma had just died upstairs, so me with no family responsibilities picked it up for him.
3-With my wacky sleep schedule I am awake for anything. I could be up with a roommate who couldn't sleep and go to Macy's with her for ice cream and toilet paper and simply give a hug.
4-I could go to the ER with a friend who was scared and unsure after having a horrifying experience and be there to explain everything to her.
It's taken me months to realize this and have my eyes opened, but I am here to help those around to be a resource and strength for my friends, family, coworkers, and random strangers that I encounter. What better mission could I have? talk about your tender mercies.
