After nearly five months with the Eye Team, I learned that this position was opening. At first, I wasn't sure if it was something I should pursue, but the more I thought about it, prayed about it, and talked to other people about it, I felt like this would be a positive move.
Situated by the entrance to the OR corridor, my new office is the powerhouse behind all the operations that Mercy Ships does. Some of my duties include tracking supply usage, greeting new OR staff, answering phones and questions, escorting visitors through the OR's, assisting with scheduling, compiling and distributing the daily surgical schedule, and generally helping out Ginger and Missy, the OR Supervisor and Assistant Supervisor. Today was only my first day, but I enjoy the fast pace of the job. Always someone popping their head in the office. I'm also hoping to brush up my tour guiding skills when visitors come to the OR. One of the best parts of the job is the 8am start...sleeping in is always a blessing.
More to come soon!

Congrats on the new position, Seth! You'll be great!
ReplyDeleteObviously, you were made for this. But seriously Seth, as you describe the position I can't help but think you are perfect for the job. Enjoy!! And I can't wait to hear more about it!!
ReplyDeleteWhen i read all the -ing things you will be doing, i thought, "What a perfect person for that job!". It is exciting to learn that you are taking on different tasks in your mission, spreading blessings in new and unexpected ways. I will pray for your energy and unflagging enthusiasm in this new capacity. But mostly i pray that you (and i) always strive to perfect the mysterious and finely attuned ear-to-God. Sense His presence, His direction, His love, His Spirit in the smallest details. Listen mightily. Obey humbly. Love for you and all your brothers and sisters there, nana
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and your new undertaking. I know you will do an excellent job and you will learn a lot from this new experience. I continue to pray for you and all those on the ship.
ReplyDeleteGod is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. -Philippians 2:13. As the others have said, I also think this new position is perfect for you and that you have been lead to it for a reason. I'm happy for you and will continue to keep you all in my prayers. And did I say before that I am proud to be your mom!!! How did I get so lucky!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on my tour guiding skills, but it's to rent out apartments, studios, and villas to the "elderly." I've rented one and another has made a verbal commitment, so I must be good at this.
ReplyDeleteLove ya man. Thanks for the note. I'm looking forward to seeing you at some point. Keep going! You're doing great.
