Let's see... I can't believe my sophomore year in college ends in ONE WEEK! I can't believe I'm this old already! I hate to see that college flies by this fast but after seeing how my past two years have completely changed me, I can't wait to see what the next two years hold! Currently I'm anxiously awaiting to find out if I got into Tech's nursing school! Whew, it's been stressful. However, I have a backup plan so all is okay if I don't get in. We were supposed to all find out last Wednesday and Thursday and so when I hadn't gotten an email by 5:00pm on Thursday, I told myself it wasn't going to happen. Then I find out that they weren't done sending the emails out, there's still hope! But that day I was having a little panic attack so in my quiet time I was reading John 11. A little background on this (trust me, there's a reason I'm including this little story)... this is one of the most known miracles that Jesus performed during his public ministry. Here, Lazarus is dying and his sisters ask Jesus to come help. Jesus loves Lazarus and has every intention to go but waits 2 days before going! In the end he raises Lazarus from the dead, can you believe it?! Anyways, how does this apply to me waiting for nursing school? My bible commentary for John 11:6-7 stated "God's delays are not God's denials. If our prayers are not answered immediately, perhaps he is teaching us to wait, and if we wait patiently, we will find that He will answer our prayers in a much more marvelous way than we ever anticipated." So as I have t-minus a few hours to the 5:00pm deadline I set that day, I read that. Wow, God you're so funny! But anyways, I'm not canceling out the idea of nursing even if I don't find out today, tomorrow, or I won't start nursing school when I intended to... there's a plan for me!

my first entry!
I've thought about making a blog for awhile now and what's a better time than now!? Now meaning that within the next week I have... 4 finals, to find a place to live for the fall, and pack everything for summer. So naturally, I'm spending my precious free time making this :).
