Another week down...

Ok so another week down in the world of becoming a nurse! I have to say I don't feel any less overwhelmed...however I must say I have sort of peace about because I know right here is where God wants me.

I am getting to spend more time in the things neglected when I was working and going to school full time. My house is cleaner and laundry gets done regularly.... Which I am soooooo thankful for. Also, as God promised the bills are getting paid and we have food! God is so good to me in this new season in my life and I want to always remember to give Him the glory... Because He deserves it!

This week a few great things happened to me... In addition to the daily provision we have been blessed with.... I purchased a new (to me) used car to get me back and forth to school! It was quite exciting to be able to just buy a car...like drive it away OWNING it! It is nothing fancy and is a 1997 but it is mine, it drives and funny thing is... My kids LOVE it! It is red and they named it "Ruby"! Funny....

Secondly, I took my first Intro to Nursing test and got an 81. This is not a terrible grade for it being my first one and me not knowing what to expect... But I hope to do better next time... Mostly b/c in the world of nursing school and 81 is a actually a "c." but thank you to my father in law who texted me and said that they do not actually print my grade on my nursing license. A reminder I shared with my classmates and they agreed...thanks Tom!!!

Also, I started a small... But one I am very thankful for...part time job watching kids a few hours a week! God is sooo good to me on that... And there is more potential income coming down the pike that I am praying about! Please pray that He reveals to me what he would like me to do..

Lastly... since I am no longer sitting on my tush all day long and snacking (which if I am honest, I did quite a bit in the years I had a desk job) I have lost 6 pounds, quit drinking soda/caffeine and have tried snacking less (oh my... I'm a snacker... This will be hard). I will continue to try to keep this up... We shall see...food is soo yummy... Hahaha

I think my kids enjoy me being home more... And I like it too... But I am also thankful that I still get to have the time outta the house at school and work... KUDOS to all you stay home moms... HIGH FIVE!!!! I am more busy not working than when I was... Hahaha

Anyways I am done bending your ear for the few peeps reading this... Have a great week...

I wanted to share my devotion from last night with you because it spoke volumes to me... It is from Ephesians 6:12
"Thankfully, our unseen God is more than capable of dealing with our unseen enemy. When we come to a deep understanding of God's unconditional love for us, we realize He will always take care of everything that concerns us.

You don't have to be afraid of your unseen enemy. Trust in God, the only One who can defeat the spiritual forces of darkness.

Prayer Starter: Lord, don't let me forget who my real enemy is, and don't let me forget that You are all-powerful. I know I can't handle everything the enemy throws my way, but You can."

Thanks to Joyce Meyer for that reminder...

Have a great week folks!
