FAREWELL ST.GEORGE PRIVATE

For over four years, St.George Private Hospital www.stgeorgeprivate.com.au has been the place where I earned a living for me and my family. Today, my service at the hospital has come to an end. Another page of my life turned.
When I landed in Australia 5 years ago, I struggled to find a job mostly due to the GFC and my lack of local work experience (I had none!). My entry into the healthcare industry, first as an orderly and now becoming a Sterilizing Technician, has allowed me to see the working of the Australian healthcare system from the inside. Americans will be able to relax.
I am grateful for all the people that helped me develop the skills that I now have.
My colleagues organised a farewell for me after work. We ate a beautiful fresh caramel cream cake and I had an opportunity to thank the people I had worked with for the last 4 years. 

Well, today, "another page is turned forever, another yesterday."











OPEN BOOK
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Hebrews 4: 13, Psalm 37: 18
In the evening when I start to pray
I think about this day
Another page is turned forever
Another yesterday
And as the story of my life unfolds
I know You've read it all
Another line to be continued
Will I stand or fall
Open book - to You I am an open book
You know every page by heart
From the ending to the start
Open book - my life is like an open book
As I read between the lines
It's Your love that truly binds this open book
When the cover of this book is closed
The final chapter read
I hope You find it worth the reading
I hope 'well done' is said
Cover to cover
Lord, You know me
And what I want to be
As You read the pages of my heart
Please tell me what You see
