Stuck...

So..school has started and Ive got the first test out of the way for nursing. I made a 92 and pretty darn proud of it!! I take my microbiology tests as I want to and my first math test will be next week. So far so good with everything.
This week has been pretty busy with preparing myself for the ns test and having to do drug tests and fingerprinting for nursing. On top of all that, I had to get my student id taken again because the first one was not up close enough. Then, my other classes and homework. I am most definitely ready for the weekend! I need some fun in my life.
I feel like Im stuck while there is a whirlwind of emotions, things, events, and people around me. Sometimes I feel like Im just lost in the middle of it all. This semester is going to fly by and I pray that God carries me through it all.
Actually, I know He will. I have to give it my all and He will take care of the rest.
I have a d-now that I am going to be a counselor of next weekend! Im pretty excited about that!! Its going to be loads of fun. Its a weekend full of God, worship, learning about Him, and NO SLEEP!!! AHHH!! Im running on fumes now as it is. Gotta rest up!!
Like....now!!!!....See ya!!

New Year, New Semester...

So, I start school this upcoming Monday..unfortunately. I am going to "really" start the nursing program this semester. I start my clinicals..that also means that I will have to get up at 4:30 in the morning once a week now. (joy!) This is going to be a pretty tough semester on me. I am only taking 14 hours, but my nursing class is 6 hours worth of credit. I am also taking Microbiology and a math class. I have put off taking any math classes until now, simply because I STINK at math!! Why did I wait until all I have left is just nursing classes?? (I don't know!!) I believe this was a bad mistake on my part, I should have known better. Oh well now!! God will carry me through this semester though. I will just have to stay SUPER focused and pray..A LOT! I have my dosage critical the 19th..only 5 days of school under my belt and I will have to take a test..a very important one at that. If I don't pass the dosage critical, I do not get to go to clinicals. Good thing I had a good grade in that class last semester! haha!

On a brighter and happier note, my best friends are getting married!!! yay! I am the MAID OF HONOR!! :) So, over the break Sarah and I have been planning her wedding. They are getting married May 22nd, 2010. So there is less than 5 months to the wedding!!! She is going to be the most beautiful bride EVER and Neal, well, he will be handsome too. haha! I am so excited for them and I know God is being glorified through their relationship. :)

I had a marvelous Christmas and New Year's. God is TOO good to me. I do not deserve any of the things He has blessed me with. He has placed amazing people in my life and they encourage me in my walk with God. Thank you God for them! My parents got me a pretty sweet GPS and Chi hair straightener for Christmas. Wes took me shopping for clothes a few weeks before Christmas and then he gave me A LOT of socks and some perfume on Christmas. I am so thankful that I got to see him as much as I did over the break. Oh, and my break!! It was/is AMAZING and I think I REALLY deserved it this time! This past semester was really hard on me and I needed some rest. Thank you Lord, again!!

Anyways, I am done babbling now. Have a great new year and semester!! :))
Grace and Peace! :)

...

You know sometimes I wish that I had not chosen such a hard degree to earn. I wish I had more free time. I wish I could hang out with my friends and do whatever I wanted. I wish that I did not have to work two jobs to have some money. I wish for a lot of things.
BUT, I did not chose a hard degree. God has this all planned out for me. :) It is hard, but who ever said it would be easy? Nursing is definitely time consuming and if was easy everyone would do it. No one wants a nurse who learned nothing in school. Right? You want me to be able to take care of you one day. :)
What I am praying for is for God to send me someone that is willing to bold in Christ and disciple me. Because I do not have much time to do things with others, and sometimes that means not going to church, I feel like I am not being spiritually fed here. If I want Bible study, I have to do it on my own. I mean that's not a problem, it should be a daily thing, but I do not have any fellowship and I'm not being discipled like I was last year. This is something I'm praying about and I ask that you pray with me. :)

Good or Wicked??

hmmm...so I dont understand why in the world people think they are so called "good" when in reality we are all, and I mean ALL, immensely wicked. All except our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What are your thoughts?

More to come on my part...

Comforter

So, my life is pretty crazy. Yep, it is. I am in nursing school. I now have 2 jobs that the Lord has blessed me with. And I'm in the band at my school. I get at 6:30 in the morning and I usually don't get to bed until around 12 or after at night. This is all taking a toll on my body and brain.

I am slap wore out every day of my life it seems like. I'm either exercising my body my walking to class and band or exercising my brain with school and one of my jobs as a tutor. It is becoming quite difficult trying to juggle everything. I feel like I am not seeing or hanging out with any of my friends, probably because I know I'm not! I I am person who loves people and fellowship!! I am not able to go to church like I want to or even go to the Christian events on campus. It is really disappointing to have to miss out on those things. Don't get me wrong, I like being busy. But I think this is definitely my limit. People ask me to do different things and I constantly have to say no. Not because I do not want to, but because I will explode if I take on any more!! Ahh!

I know I have a crazy life, but God loves me anyway. He is my Comforter. I find comfort in His word. Psalm 119:50 reads: "This is my comfort in my affliction, that your word has revived me." He is too good to me. I am the one spending all my time doing all of these other things and I only get to put a lousy amount of time with Him each day. I am not deserving of His love for me, but I am grateful. He is AMAZING!! I should be putting in the time that I'm in class, work, and band and spending it with Him instead! Without God, I would be completely nothing and so would you. I looked up the meaning of the word, "comforter", and this is what is says..
Comforter
1. One that comforts: the nurse as comforter of the sick.
2. Comforter Christianity The Holy Spirit.
3. A quilted bedcover.
4. A narrow, long, typically woolen neck scarf.

Please check out #2! :) God is my Comforter, my very best friend, and my Everything! I know everything is going to be just fine. Jeremiah 29:11-13 and Isaiah 55:8-9. God has a plan and purpose for each and everything. He is going to get me through this semester and the rest of my life. :))

Blessings and Love!

New start...

This is my first post and its late and I need to go to bed so...this is going to be short..lol

Well, I have been doing a lot of thinking here lately about well, everything! There is a lot going on in my life right now. For example: starting the actual nursing program, getting in a rountine of school again, learning my new roommate, dealing with my friends that have left UWA, and numerous other things. I am missing Canada a lot these days. My heart is with those people. And by the way for those who do not know, I spent most of my summer in Vancouver and that is what I am referring to. I am so full of emotions with anything and everything.
One of my best friends/mentor/amazing woman of God is graduating in December and then heading overseas with the journeyman project and she isnt living on campus this semester. I am going to miss her so much! I am protesting against her leaving!! But, she is going to do something that God has called her into and that is amazing. I am proud of her and all she has and is doing.
God is teaching me so many things and I am just utterly amazed that He loves me the way He does. I dont know why because I sure dont deserve any of His love or mercy. Geez..just thinking about this summer and the past whole 5 months..I cant tell you all the things Ive learned about myself, my sin, and my God! I am to give God glory through anything and everything I say, think, and do!
I am off to bed..more to write laterrr...blessings!
