Moving mountains

Never count God out!! What a difference a day can make. I talked with the nursing recruiter today and my application is going to be reviewed. Thank you GOD!!! I did not get points for my AA degree and there is a question about my experience. I will meet with the director of nursing next week. She is on vacation till Monday. There is still a chance that with the new information I can get in to the August start. It is not a done deal but there is hope. God is faithful in his promises to us and I am being reminded that God is God no matter what our circumstances.

Please pray that this is the right path and God is going to show himself in a big way. We have to be faithful no matter how much we are struggling or hurting. I do not know that next week I will have the news that I want but I do know that my God is in control and his path is the one that I want to follow!!

Not God's Plan...

The post I didn't want to write...I did NOT get into the nursing program for the fall start. For the past year God laid out this wonderful journey that I have been on. After being a stay at home mom for 9 years I went back to school. Talking about changing your life. The first day of class I could barely walk in the door. Yea a little nervous. Eight classes later I am confident and I have my identity back. Not Bill's wife or Taylor, Ryan, Colin's mom. I have been in the top percentage of my classes. It is nice to be using my brain again. Of course we all have a past and mine included being a poor student 15 years ago. Unfortunately for me I can not retake classes that count to get me in the program. So 15 years later my GPA is not good enough to get into the program. All my A's just can't out way my C's. The nursing program is a competitive entry because there is not enough spots for all that apply.

So now I am at my brick wall. I have my AA degree and all the classes required for the program. I have desperately looked at options and so far there are none. I will reapply in August for the January start but with only a month before the next application date I don't really know what I can change.

I am devastated because I know this is where God has led me but yet he has slammed on the brakes. I do not get it and possibly never will. I have faith that God will led me to where I should be but that doesn't mean I have to like it today!! In fact I didn't like it yesterday and tomorrow is not looking much brighter. I plan on sulking for the next 3 days then I will pull myself up and wait on God. I am just not ready today!!!

More about us...

We are a family of 5 plus 2 cats. I have been a stay at home mom for 9 years but recently I have gone back to college. I have applied for the nursing program at our local college. I will find out soon if I am accepted. I have a strong faith in God and I know that he is laying out my path.

Taylor is my oldest at 9 years old. She will be in 4th grade next year. Ryan is my 2nd and is 7 years old. He will be in the 2nd grade. Then there is Colin who is 4 years old and has one more year of pre school. The kids keep me very busy now that it is summer.

Bill and I have been married for 15 years. It is truly amazing how fast that goes by. Bill works very hard so that I can stay home with kids and now getting me through school. Of course he is ready for me to get working once school is done!!
