What have I gotten myself into?

Well... I survived my first few days of School of Nursing. I've been bogged down with way more information than my brain can handle. Then again... I suppose I should get used to this. This is the life of a Nursing student. Don't get me wrong... I'm super excited to be embarking on such an amazing adventure, but every once in awhile I catch myself thinking What have I gotten myself into?!?

Then I try to remember what the faculty keeps telling us. Each of us have been selected to be in this program for a reason. I know God has a plan for me and that He has given me a true passion for the field of Nursing. I feel so blessed to hear the faculty for the School of Nursing talk about how they each truly believe God placed us here for a reason. I cannot wait to have some of these amazing women pour into my life the next few years and help me grow both in my education, but also in my walk with the Lord.

It's going to be an intense journey... I know that, but I also know that I have an amazing support system. The School of Nursing staff and faculty have made it clear they are always there for us, and for that I am blessed. But I also have a family that supports me and encourages me in everything I do. And I can't forget my roommates. I'm living with some amazing young women this year and am so excited for us to grow together and really encourage each other.

It's gonna be a wild ride... but I guess all I can really do is buckle my seat belt, hold on, and see where He takes me!
