It's a good thing God is in control, because He knows I sure couldn't do this all by myself. Many of you don't know what has been going on in my life and fortunately for you, I intend to keep it that way...

After my first day of nursing school I said I would try to blog as often as I could about what I'm learning; educationally and spiritually...
I had no idea the lessons God had in store for me.

I began school on Monday and by Friday it pretty much felt like my whole world was falling apart... not because of Nursing school which ended up being my release/escape, but everything personal in my life.

I came home one afternoon... threw my hands up in the air... and yelled... " WHAT DOES GOD WANT FROM ME?????!!!!! I'M ONLY ONE PERSON!!!!!!!!"

It feels like I have been stretched to my ultimate max and stretching me any further may very possibly result in a snap... (similiar to a rubberband).

The storms are FAR from over and in essence have still JUST begun... but God has been speaking to me more in the last couple of days... Through music, people, school, etc...
Isn't it wonderful how God will speak to you when you need it most. Doesn't mean any of this is easier by any stretch, but simply reminds me who is Really in control.
I find the last couple weeks that even though I'm in school basically monday-friday 7a-4p and working 24hrs per week on top of that.... Those things have helped me escape my reality.
(Something that you think might be the most stressful thing in your life suddenly turns into your biggest relief/ escape.)

Situations are still the same but I guess my outlook is beginning to change.
Slowly......... but......... Surely.......

All Things Nursing

Here we go... on this day August 22nd... I have began a new journey.

NURSING SCHOOL...... Yikes

Basically I'm scared to death... don't know what the heck I'm even thinking, but doing it anyway.
I was accepted to Bethel's nursing program just about a month and a half ago. My degree will be Bethel but all of my classes will be on Grace's Campus at Winona Lake. I'm really excited, but I think I'm more scared than excited.

Today was orientation... it went really well! I walked in to a room of most of the people older than myself, with even more kids than I have... and one phrase that kept repeating itself through out the classroom....

"I'm scared out of my mind!!" "I'm so nervous!" "I'm a mess!"

So a room full of people feeling the exact same way as me... PERFECT! At least were all in this together...

Today I got my Syllabus which is 125 PAGES... yes you heard that correct!!!! Welcome to Nursing school folks! Also got a separate little booklet containing what each week will hold in store for us... how they couldn't fit that in the 125page syllabus is beyond me! But basically I have a ton of reading assignments and and lots of other stuff in the next few weeks. But until I have something really cool to tell you about I will keep my whining about all the homework and reading to myself... ;)
