I have been in complete stress out mode the past month with school however. So the past two weeks I have been clinging to Philippians 4:6-9 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, with prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God and the Peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard you hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. And finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think on such things. Whatever you have learned, received or heard from me-or seen in me-put it to practice and the Peace of God will be with you."
We have been working on Scripture memorization in our Bible study so I memorized these verses and have been reciting over and over the past few weeks. I think Zack even knows it now because I would just walk around the house saying it aloud!
God did give me so much peace this week!! He calmed my anxiety and I am THANKFUL to say I am DONE with school!!!!!
Yep! I passed my HESI, turned in my final paper, and presented my Senior Seminar to the class on Wednesday!!! Cap & gown pictures were made, class group picture done, and many hugs and a few tears......I couldn't believe Wednesday was really MY LAST day on The Plains.
I thought a year ago when that day came I would be like the kids on Grease who ran out of Rydell High throwing their papers into air and screaming with JOY!
Instead, I walked out of Miller Hall into a beautiful spring day, heard the fight song playing from Samford, took a deep breath and said a prayer of thanksgiving. Nursing school was the most humbling experience and I would not have made it without strength from God. I give Him all the glory and praise for helping me make it this far!!
After my mile walk to my car.....I was over the bittersweet feeling!!! I drove fast to Wadley with my windows down and music UP!! That was after I treated myself to an hour massage in Auburn.....yes, it was Heavenly! I think I am just going to make it a commitment to get one every two months.....I haven't talked with Zack about that yet however.
So yesterday, I was SO excited to be home and have NOTHING to do!! I CLEANED...DEEP CLEANED my house!! I had so much fun right here by myself, music on as loud as it would go and I got it all done! I got to spend some sweet time with Leigh & Blakely too!!
So today I am being SUPER lazy!!! Zack asked when he left "What are you going to do today?" "Nothing", I said. "Why?", he replied.
"BECAUSE I WANT TO!"....Oh it feels SO good to finally say that!!! I feel so FREE to not have to study, or turn in homework, or anything pressing from school!!!!
THANK YOU LORD for PEACE!
I start my preceptorship on Monday in the ER!! I will be working 7on/7off! I am super excited and can't wait to see what's in store for the next couple of months.........
