Bagging in Paediatrics

Those babies whose breathing aren't adequate and need ventilation or noninvasive positive airway pressure to maintain adequate oxygenation will only have two outcomes: survive or plus (passed away). The few times that i was called to bagging, the babies either got the automatic ventilator ready to be used for them, or the sad truth, plus during my shift to bag. Seeing babies who were so pure, know nothing about this world, came and left in just that split moments, reminds me of one main thing: God's love knows no boundaries.  He loves us all, no matter who we are. He knows us way before we were even formed in our mother's womb. He has a purpose for each and everyone of us here on earth. The least i can do for the babies is to pray for them during my bagging. Life and death lies in God's hand. We might not able to understand His plans, but simply trust in Him!  Isaiah 55:8,9 "For my thoughts are not your thought, neither are your ways my ways,"

Love in Action

Roman 12 : 9 - 21 9  Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.    10  Be devoted to one another in love.  Honor one another above yourselves.    11  Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,  serving the Lord.    12  Be joyful in hope,  patient in affliction,  faithful in prayer.    13  Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.  Practice hospitality .   14  Bless those who persecute you;  bless and do not curse.    15  Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn .    16  Live in harmony with one another.  Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not think you are superior.   17  Do not repay anyone evil for evil.  Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone.   18  If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.    19  Do not take revenge,  my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge;

Apologies

A few days back, i received an apology from a friend of mine for something happened sometime ago, but i've got over it and almost forgotten it. But, receiving the apology makes me review and rethink about myself. Do i have the courage to apologize to someone i hurt? Have i ask for apologies? One incident that vividly haunts me last time when a pastor from Philippines shared about asking forgiveness from the person, no matter how long that incident has happened, led me to ask forgiveness from my dad and mom about something i did. i was an angry girl. i easily got irritated. i showed them no matter what the timing is. That is bad. real bad. Collecting my courage, i picked up the phone and called them after thinking over and over for some time. Tear welled up and fell. but i can say this; i really felt so much better. i learned from it. i felt relieved. And now, the apologies i received made me re-think - did i hurt someone unknowingly? How to apologize? There's so

The Day He Gave Me My Life

Image
25 years ago, He chose the date and day for me to be born on this earth. 25 years has gone, and I've come to know Him. 25 years of life. Ups. Downs. Joy. Sadness. Rise. Fall. Happiness. Tears. Obedience. Stubbornness. Smile. Anger. Like. Dislike. Active. Sleepy. The list can go on and on. =) 25 years, of course, that's a long time... On this day, it's not only about me, but those around me as well. My family. My friends. My spiritual family. My patients. And all those 生命中的过客 (passer-by in life). It's with and through them that i learn what life is. It's with them that i lived my 25 years. They're my support and love. So, i would love to take this opportunity to thank them. "Thank you so much!" For the One who gave me my life, thanks for being gracious to me all this time. Thanks for showing me what love is. Help me learn how to love. And live a life that please You. Thanks for everything Lord, Jesus! In the year
