OK...I am gonna try this. I have spent the last hour or so reading the blogs I faithfully follow. I follow them because I love these ladies...I look up to them...I enjoy their company (even tho I don't get to spend that much time with them...I love them). They are good, Godly women and have some amazing testimonies. Now I say all that not to put them on a pedestal...but to let them know...if the happen to be reading this...that I love how they allow God to shine thru them...as imperfect as we all are! I love each of their testimonies...well what I know of it...
Annnnnyway...I said all that to say...a few of them suggested to do a blog...and tonight I figured what the heck...Ima try! What can it hurt right?
So here I go....I am mom...recently unemployed to finish the career path that my God has put me on. I have 2 beautiful girls and they are my life. Both different in their own ways..and frustrating and loving all at the same time in their own ways! They could not be more opposite...and I love it that way! I am sure you will hear much about them as they never cease to amaze, infuriate, love, accept, disobey, shock, and transform me.
Ok...so back to the blog...I will leave this entry short as I am not wanting to bore anyone who may be wanting to read my blog. I certainly don't wanna lose readers as soon as I begin by droning on...so here is a brief synopsis of why I am deciding to write this blog...
I am in school for nursing...a program in which I started out on in August of 2009 at God's nudging and me wanting to "do something better for myself and my children" (after all I have 2 VERY smart youngens who are most definitely (why can I never spell this word right???! ugh) going to need to go to college...and that ain't cheap). During the time of pre-reqs, prep courses, and all that other brain prepping that goes with waiting to actually "get in" the program, I worked in the day and went to school at night. All the while trying to figure out what the heck I was going to do when I actually got in! Notice I said trying to figure out? Ok...good...that is what this blog is about...me reminding MYSELF that HE makes the plans, calls the shots and already has my path planned out for me...I just have to seek Him!...not figure it out myself! That's all...but as a planner and expert worrier...I often forget or let the enemy deter from having the right mindset.
Ok..I digressed...sorry...anyway...back to me working days and going to school at night...In August of last year...it came!!! My acceptance letter. I was in...which meant I needed to quit my job and continue on the path God had for me...and had clearly told me He had.
On January 5, 2012 I had my VERY 1st day of work unpaid since I was 16 years old. Was I scared, yes!! Was I worried,yes!! But that day...I had a peace that even tho I was quitting my job and receiving may last paycheck...I was doing what I was supposed to do! Constantly I have to remind myself of the verse Jeremiah 29:11 ~~> "I know the plans I have for you saith the Lord...."
Now follow me as I tell you funny stories from nursing school, stories from my kids, reprimand myself for doubting Him, and just vent about something or another. I also may post a recipe or 2 or a receipe NOT to try...but we shall see....
Until next time...
