Back in Texas

I went to bed feeling ill again and had a difficulty night sleeping. I kept feeling chills and feverish while trying to recite what I needed to document on my t-sheets to get credit for ED obs. (I kept seeing powerpoint slides from the seminar.) This morning, I woke up feeling a little better since I eventually took Tylenol by the end of the night. We all got to Sky Harbor to check our baggage and eat some breakfast at the D terminal. I slept during the majority of the flight from PHX to ATX. Once we got back to Dallas, we unpacked, and I took a nap. It was nice to just hang around the house. There was good news of the Catings and their new daughter, Rachel, who was born today. Amy and I got to chat some before she went to sleep in preparation for an early shift tomorrow.

1 John 5:14 "This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."

Today's passage reminds me of the power of prayer. This confidence to know that His phone line is constantly open makes me want to take advantage of this gift. I want to become more consistent in prayer just like this blog is making me more consistent in reading the Bible. The question I have is that do I pray only for things that I think are according to His will? I could be wrong in what I think He wants. In that case, shouldn't I pray for everything in case they all end up being His will? There are obviously things that I want that are not in line with His desires, but what about the things in the middle ground or gray area? I guess I will pray about that also. Time to sleep now so that I can take care of Ruth tomorrow while Amy is working.
