Home and recoveIring

So this is what it came down to, they let me out and let me home :) I am now feeling MUCH better and am hoping to go back to work tomorrow, at least for 4 hours per day this week.

Its amazing the perspectives it brings to life to have a couple of bed bound weeks, forcing you to think about reality about what is relevant and what is fleety. Maybe I can post some of my thoughts here eventually, but till then, know that I am doing better.

Normal clothes!

Normal clothes! I've just put on normal clothes after a week in
hospital gowns I have now got a pair of black trousers and a t-shirt
on. Although I have cold feet and wish I had a pair of socks. Noises
in the ward are beginning to feel familiar and the nurses now carry a
recognising smile when they see me. Still I am hoping to go home
today!

Hospital

A night on the ward! I'm lying here on my back, no hair left, a
stuffed polarbear on my belly to keep the surgical wound from hurting
too much. My 2 wounds in the scull are still sore. I have just had 2
visitors and the night lights are out. 
Amazing how fast things
change, a week ago I had lunch at hout cabaret prepairing for a work
week at travelstart, this sunday I've had brain surgery hoping to
recover before the week is over. 
Love from me

W O R K P R A Y E R

Lord, I pray that you would bless the work of my hand. May my labor bring not only favor, success and prosperity, but great fulfillment as well. If the work I am doing is not in line with your perfect will for my life, reveal this to me. Show me what I should do differently and guide me down the right path. Give me strength, faith and a vision for the future so I can rise above any propensity for laziness.

May I never run from work out of fear, selfishness, or a desire to avoid responsibility. On the other hand, help me to see that I don't have to work myself to death for man’s approval, or grasp for gain beyond what is a gift from You. Give me the ability to enjoy my success without striving for more. Help me to excel, but free me from the pressure to do so.

I pray that you will be Lord over my work and may I bring You into every aspect of it. Give me enough confidence in the gifts You’ve place in me, to be able to seek, find and do good work. Open up doors of opportunity for me that no man can close. Develop my skills so that they grow more valuable with each passing year. Show me what I can do to stay encouraged.

I pray that my work will be established, secure, successful, satisfying and financially rewarding. May I not be “lagging in diligence, but fervent in spirit, serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11). Let me be like a tree planted by the stream of Your living water, which brings forth fruit in due season. May I never wither under pressure, but grow strong and prosper (Psalm 1.3).
