Well, it's been over a month since I last blogged and I'm kinda of out of the loop, but here goes!
Since I started nursing school in Jan., I've been overwhelmed to the max with everything - classes, working f/t, Brady, keeping up with the house and lastly myself, and not to mention ALL the other stressors involved! Everyone warned me that it would be hard, but boy did I NOT see this one coming! And the hardest part yet is trying not to get discouraged.
I've always been a decent-to-good student...honor roll, B or A grades, but somehow it's 100x harder the second time, and it makes sense because now I have more on my plate than I did at 20! However, I expect more from myself now that I'm older and I feel like I've worked so hard to get to this point, that it would be insane not to be able to continue because my grades in one class are below passing...aka...I'm failing! Ugh...I hate that word!
But I've come to learn (well remember) that God is in control of every situation and his will will be done. It might not be our agenda, but I believe that things work out in the end. Along with studying my brains out, this past week I've summoned up people for prayer that I'll get through and pass these final tests. The Bible verse that I found was Galations 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up" and I read it everyday, for hope and inspiration.
Long story short, prayer is powerful. I'm 27 (well at least for one more day...so sad!) and I've known it all my life, but sometimes it's nice to witness it first-hand. The grades haven't been posted yet and I don't want to jinx myself, but I passed my test last night. It's not the end yet, I still have another 5 weeks to go, but I believe that God will give me the strength to get through!
