Hard Things

I've thought this many, many times in the last four days. To have a challenge ahead of you is really exciting and overwhelming all at the same time! We have to remind each other to press on, all the time, even when it's hard. Here is my reminder to you.

With love,

Tomorrow

Tomorrow starts another school year. 

RN. 

New challenges.

New excitements.

New friends. 

Same person.

Same desk.

Same stethoscope.

Trusting the LORD each step of the way!

Today's Psalm

PSALM 25

To you, O Lord, I olift up my soul.

O my God, in you I trust;

let me not be put to shame;

let not my enemies exult over me.

Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;

they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

Make me to know your ways, O Lord;

teach me your paths.

Lead me in your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

for you I wait all the day long.

Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,

for they have been from of old.

Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your steadfast love remember me,

for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

He leads the humble in what is right,

and teaches the humble his way.

All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,

for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

For your name's sake, O Lord,

pardon my guilt, for it is great.

Who is the man who fears the Lord?

Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

His soul shall abide in well-being,

and his offspring shall inherit the land.

The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,

and he makes known to them his covenant.

My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

Consider my affliction and my trouble,

and forgive all my sins.

Consider how many are my foes,

and with what violent hatred they hate me.

Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!

Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

Redeem Israel, O God,

out of all his troubles.

Camp Nurse

This summer went down in my history book as one of the best summers in my life. The reason? I was a   Camp Nurse! I became better at dispelling junior-high drama, communicating with those of the younger set, basic first aid, settling qualms of homesick kids, killing wasps, and staying calm. I have not read this book yet, but I am sure it is full of unrealistic characterizations of camp nurses. That's okay though, because this summer I got some great real-life mom training and I'm cool with that. 

Looking ahead, I am starting the  RN program on Monday and have already started reading such thrilling material as " interviewing patients to obtain a health history" and "techniques and equipment for physical assessment"!!
