Your
JOURNEY
is unfolding
EXACTLY
as it should be.
Lately I've been feeling like maybe God got me mixed up with someone else, or somehow I got dealt the wrong hand of cards. I look at my life and shake my head incredulously wondering what in the world happened with the neat life that I completely planned on having? Truly, God's ways are not our ways, and His paths are not our paths.
My personal challenge recently has been to thrive in the moments God is filling my life with. It's very easy to get in the rut that school is a waiting period in which I just need to survive so I can move on to greater things. In a way, it can be, nursing school is a waiting period, a time to learn many new things and to be stretched in many new ways in preparation for facing the real world armed as an LPN. But, that does not give me a license to ignore all the opportunities God has given me to thrive in right here and now. They're different then they were before, but just as real.
My heart prayer right now is that I would learn to trust with an unwavering faith in the plan God has for me. That I could relax in the realization that GOD does have my journey unfolding exactly as it should be, and it won't do me any good to worry about what's around the next bend.
I am currently in my 4th week of the Licensed Practical Nursing program, and it has been a very intense experience for me, one that I know will only increase in it's intensity. God has been stripping away my comfort zone and facades, forcing me to see who I really am and realizing how much MORE He has for me to experience. I'm thankful for His gentle, firm guidance even tho' it hurts more often then not!
Let us pray for each other, not faint by the way!
