Beauty...sigh

Lately I've been rereading Captivating by John and Stasi Eldredge.  (ladies if you haven't read it you really should! and if you have read it...read it again!)  It's made me think about our God being a God of beauty.  If beauty wasn't important to God...imagine what our world would look like.  No flowers or sunsets.  No dew dripping off leaves in the early morning.  No dances or peices of art that catch your eye and leave you speechless.  No peices of poetry or songs that make you weep for joy.  If beauty was no more, beautiful women (so that means all women!) would cease to exist and in their places would be creatures of misery.  If beauty was no more you would look at a baby and just see...a baby...not a precious lovely being.  Our God is a God who values and desires to show us beauty.  That's my thought for the day :)
 In other news: Today was quite eventful...i will let it speak for itself :)

Break time on the Africa Mercy

 we went to the market today with Tom (our day worker) and had a fantastic time!!! I got some really adorable adorable fabric.   Then we went to the tailor and 'ordered' some pieces of clothing.  I'm getting two shirts and a skirt (pictures to follow...when i get the clothes).  The tailor only spoke french, so it's good that Tom was there.  After the tailor Tom took us to his house and showed us where he lived.

 Tonight the hospital had an open house.  There were games, races, sutcher stitching lessons, IV finding exercises...lotsa fun!

This is empty the urine bag race.  You had to put on a hat, gloves, goggles, gown, and mask then run over to the urine bag and empty out 100 ml dump it out in the sink and then take off all the accessories.  It was lots of fun! Tori and I beat Ken and Bronte in a relay race at it!

Ken!

Another game: Nurse for a shift.  Jenny force fed (LITERALLY!) her  'patient' the meds.  It was awesome!

Jenny and Noel! congrats for winning Jenny

And finally sutcher lessons...sorry it's difficult to see.  btw...harder then it looks.

It was a fantastic day! I had such a good time.  I know i've said this before but thank you to everyone who supported me (and is still supporting me).  Thank you all!
