Busy Week

What a week! There are so many things due and not enough time to turn them in! What I have found is that in the nursing program you have to be extremely organized! I am the type of person that had to learn ways to keep myself and tasks organized because if I do not I tend to stress out! Here is a layout of my week: a 40 page process, weekly 2 page papers, skills lab check off sheets, case scenario papers, tests, reading, papers needing signed, evaluations with instructors, getting gas, buying school essentials, feeding dogs, cleaning car, cleaning room and bathroom, eating, exercising, going to choir practice, church, making time for friends, study groups, Simulator manikin appointment (school related), visiting family, shower, and just basically daily activities that have to be done! Now, I realize that there are many people in this world with a much larger load than I am carrying, but right now I am feeling very loaded down with what is going on in my life! I am not complaining because God provided this path for my life and I am thankful! He never promised that the road would be easy! I am daily learning what it means to fully trust God! Sometimes, I wonder how in the world people survive without having a walk with God! With all that I am faced with and the stress that is taking place in my life right now, I try to remember there is a war going on, there are people that are so depressed that they want to commit suicide, there are lost and dying souls, there are people in jail, there are homeless people, there are people without the safety net that God puts around his children! I am thankful in the midst of my busy, stressful days to know that I have a God that is with me in all my ways! Also, God promised in His word that he would never give more than we can bare. A very important person in my life that recently passed away would always say, " God knows". That is so true and fitting when you are faced with a difficult situation. Tell yourself, "God Knows."

Ps...Our college and career group is starting a campus ministry, so when you pray please pray that God will shine through us so that people in need will be sensitive enough to want to know about God and want to know that truth and be saved! Thanks A Billion! *~ *~ Heidi
