Take two

This morning will be screening day...take two.  Our security team left yesterday at 2 pm to provide overnight crowd control, and we are praying that God will bring the people and patients who HE wants to bring, and who He has purposes for at screening in the morning.  Our location is changed, our strategy is different, but our faith is steadfast.

My role is a little different this time...I won't be going to screening today.  Instead I am here in the deceptive and dimmed peace of the D ward nurses station, pager at my belt, listening to Mari's whistling breaths through the nasal bolster, checking a temperature here and an NG feed there, and praying for the difficult morning ahead for the screening team: most of the hospital staff with many volunteers from among the non-medical crew.  This time I'm here with the already-patients - night charge nurse and emergency medical backup...and hopefully there will be no emergencies to wake me midday.

Friends, we desperately need your prayers this early morning.  Pray for peace and order at screening.  Pray that God would bring those he has purposes for with the team, with the surgeons, and with the prayer warriors.  Pray that He would move in power!

We pray for healing...and for hope.
