- Wow. Sorry for my lack of posts. Not sure what I've been up to thats caused the quiet blogging!
- I think I'm in a daze. Life is just flying by. Everything seems like a blur. I'm not gonna complain because I'm really looking forward to winter break. But then again, I don't like to miss the moments, and I have been. I can't believe tomorrow is November already. Christmas is less than 2 mos away!!!
- Short up-date on life: College is going ok. Not great. Not horrible. Just OK. I'm learning to take one day at a time. I don't look forward and I don't look back. I'm also learning how great of a procrastinator that I am...like right now... :S
- I need to learn to find a balance tho. I'm having a hard time balancing school work, social life, and my spiritual life. first off, I probably put social life before school work, which would be obvious if you could see my grades! (Funny how my fear of getting a B or lower has suddenly and magically disappeared! Now all I care about is the 75% to pass!) I don't want to give up my social life, but then again I know I DON'T want to have to re-take any nursing class...so I better get my priorities straight. And as for my spiritual life, sadly enough, I've felt like if has suffered even more than my school work. I always seem to push reading and praying off till the end of the day when I'm already exhausted and just wanna crawl in bed. Which usually leads to me falling asleep while praying and I somehow always wake up in the middle of the night, in bed, with my lamp still on. I've been working on that tho. And it's getting better. Guess I would just ask for some prayers to get my focus back on what is most important in life because I know one thing is for certain: I would definitely much rather fail a nursing class, than fail in my relationship with Jesus Christ!
- Side-note: I can't even begin to write about how much I have felt God's quiet, assuring presence throughout the past few months. Whether its giving me the knowledge to pass a quiz that I did not take adequate time to study for because I probably opted to spend time with friends instead, or blessing me with great instructors who have made this semester much easier than I anticipated, or giving me the confidence, peace, and grace to face clinical each week because I know without that I would be a disaster! Or maybe it's an angel sent by Him to wake me up tues morning for clinical b/c I fell asleep praying the night before and failed to set my alarm... whatever it may be, they are quiet reminders that God IS with me. And He WILL grant me the grace to get through these next 2 years if it continues to be His will! That's what I cling to on days when I'm totally and completely overwhelmed! (Which is another quiet assurance b/c I haven't had very many of those days...yet.) God be praised!
- One of these days I'll maybe catch you up on all my social-happenings the past few weeks but right now I should get to some studying. :)
- Blessings in the rest of the week!
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
