I have prayed constantly that God would allow me to spread his word and become one in Him. I truly believe I accomplished one part of realizing what he wants from me when I decided to become a nurse my senior year of high school. I really believe its my calling, and I can't imaging doing anything else as cliche as that may sound. Ive spent the past couple of years since high school feeling relatively lost emotionally, and in some ways spiritually. I was rebaptized last year and became a member of my church (the same church I have been going to since I was, as best as I can remember, 5 years old). I know God is working in my life and I have seen so many of my continuous prayers be answered. With all that is going on in this world right now I have really begun to consider ways that I can help. The only way I know that I can is by ministering to others and bringing the word of Christ into a world that needs it now more than ever. I don't believe that all this violence and tragedy that is rising up in this world to be the end of it, but rather the beginning of the church. My wonderful pastor used that line in his sermon a few weeks back and it has stuck with me ever since. I know God is calling us Christians to help make the world a better place and I would like to begin by bettering myself.
I don't know much about what life has in store for me. All I know is that for now it consists of text books, highlighters, care plans, and medication cards as well a relatively boring set of daily events. I have been asking God to allow me to break out of my comfort zone. Recently, I believe that prayer has been answered. I have decided that when I graduate I will take my medical and spiritual knowledge abroad. Where? I don't know yet but I have considered Africa, Mexico, India or wherever they may need help at the time. Im not talking about a full fledged move, just a month or two to help in any way I can. I realize there are people here in our own country who need our help and I will be here for their assistance as well. I just feel as though I am being called to do this and honestly, I can't wait.
