My theme for the past couple of years, I have been privy to God revealing new layers of this scripture for me at many different levels of my life. I am and have been on a journey to becoming a nurse.
Beginning January 2009, I went to college with a final intent in mind. I had this resolve in my mind that if I didn't commit myself to this I would never become who God created, fashioned, and ordained me to be. I had been through many things in my life and had been delayed and distracted for much of my life. From childhood I had knowledge of my father and even knew where and how to contact him. The thing is, during the sporadic, brief encounters I had with my father growing up, I was always disappointed. As a young adult I married a man who ended up being very similar to my mother (shhh, don't tell her I said so. ;-)). As I began to grow in my relationship with God I grew to know more about myself and who I am. Without turning this into a book, I'll cut to the chase and say I have been through a great deal over the span of my life. I would not change much. The only thing I would have done differently is I would have opened my eyes to who God made me to be earlier. I would have had that A-Ha! moment much sooner. However, I do love living my life now, hardship and all. I understand that these situations are building me, making me stronger and affording me an opportunity to see a new facet of God that I wouldn't see otherwise. I AM GRATEFUL!
Fast forward to 2014, I am a student still. I have transferred to the college of my dreams, Mount Carmel College of Nursing. I am living in this surreal state, on one hand I can't believe I am here and on the other hand I am coming face to face with the realization of the gravity of the role I am undertaking. I will be responsible for the care of people in some of their most vulnerable states. I have their life and well-being in my hands. I CAN'T DO THIS WITHOUT GOD, I REFUSE TO. The cost is too high.
I said all this to say, join me on this journey to Ever Reaching Life. I will be documenting my journey the rest of the way through nursing school and my adventure into God's word to bring the two together as well as increasing my relationship with Him. As I stated before, I refuse to do it without Him. I need Him too much. So come along for the journey.
Love ya!
