Women, parties, and God.

Uteruses.
Feminine hygiene.
menopause.
Stress.

All women face those problems at some point.

I have been tasked with putting together a presentation about women's health for some of the church and school ladies. Don't know how it's going to turn out, seeing as how right now it's all in English and I need to translate it all into Spanish. That'll be interesting.

I found a cute uterus though.

Gotta love Pinterest. I'm thinking I can get some felt and make some for the clinic. 

Why? 

Because it's a cute uterus. 

Anyway, enough about women things.

Today I had three patients that I had to take all by myself without a translator or any of the Guatemalan staff. 

It was slightly nerve-wracking. 

By God's grace they were all easy, and I could actually understand what they wanted and got across to them what they needed to do. 

• I saw a girl with an injured arm that I saw at the Olympics, which was getting better.
• I saw a man who wanted something for his son's cough.
• Lastly, I saw a girl with some eye irritation.

It felt pretty good to be able to do it all by myself. 

It made me think about a verse I remembered while researching about stress relief.

Deuteronomy 31:8 

"The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; 

He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged."

I think this verse is something we all need to hear regularly. Whether you are taking some major exams for your PhD, working in a high stress environment, taking care of screaming children, or just having anxiety about things you can't change, God goes before you. 

God's in control

It was a really nice weekend. I went to a birthday party, ate lots of wonderful Guatemalan food, had a movie night, and chilled out. 

Now I can really chill out. 

God's got this!
