Well I have officially finished finished 9 weeks of school and have made it this far! Its definitely a battle too. Work, school, and homework are very tough at times. That doesn't even include the things that life can throw at me at times. I have had six weeks of clinical times and that also is very entertaining at times. I have learned so much but mostly about what I don't want to do as a nurse. I don't do early and I hate being up early but its very well worth it at the end of the day. Luckily I only have four left now.
This is as hard as I thought it would be but not in the same areas as I thought. Its tiring and time consuming but I'm surviving and finally felt this week that I was going to make it through. I send prayers up to God every day to help me through and I know He's the reason I feel refreshed about it.
On another note related, I had mentioned in my first post that I feel the call to use the knowledge the Lord is letting me learn to help bring people to Him through medical missions in third world countries less fortunate than us. Well my clinical instructor, amazingly enough, and her husband make medical mission trips to Haiti often and were going on one in December. I expressed my heart about this with her and she said she would love to share that experience with be and said she would get me more information. Well unfortunate events happened and I was town between going and not going. I wasn't sure if the events were my sign from God that this isn't my trip or weather it was the devil trying to keep me from going. I was very torn and put a prayer request out on fb. Well I kinda feel my prayer was answered by someone reaching out to me about another trip I have heard about to Honduras with a group out of Chickasha. At that moment I felt I had my answer.
Recently my instructor said their trip has been postponed to Spring Break. I'm a little torn again but I know God will tell me where He wants me but I have to say Honduras is the current answer.
I have had many events recently related with a mission trip. Mom and dad were at a dr's appt recently discussing with nurse about me being in nursing school and being able to help them and also telling her about my mission trip, she proceeded to share with them how God has worked in her life and families life recently. Her work was done and she left. She returned later with a $20 bill in hand giving it to them and said its for my trip. Its amazing how God works even in the lives of His followers and how He reveals Himself to us. I am very deeply touched by this woman's donation without even knowing me but just to help further the kingdom of God. Its awesome!!
Well I think I rambled on more about my missions than I did school but its ok, its where my heart is.
I have 7 weeks of school left with a busy, tough week ahead of me so I ask for your prayers when I cross your mind. Thank you in advance, your prayers now will eventually lead another soul in the kingdom of heaven.
I really love this song and its so true:
What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.
I attached this picture because it reminds me every day I'll make it
