"The longer you wait for something, the more you appreciate it when you get it, because anything worth having is definitely worth waiting for." When I read this quote it always reminds me that all of the things I am going through now (ups and downs) are essentially helping me get to where I want to be. So despite all of the waiting and all of the setbacks, I remember to remain patient because Gods timing in my life always ends up proving to be perfect. I’m not afraid to admit that these last couple of years I’ve felt really lost. It’s hard when life decides to throw many difficult times at you all at once. Those feelings of having no freaking idea what to do next, no plan b’s and just no direction…yep, I’ve been there. Honestly, Im still not certain of everything in my life. But for once, it just feels good to be lost in the right direction. When I look back at what I thought were my disappointments, Im now able to see that without them I wouldn’t have realized exactly how much I want this. Being brought up by my aunts who all happen to be nurses and especially my most favorite nurse Queen Connie, I’ve always felt sorta pressured into majoring in nursing. Yeah, making my mom and dad proud of me is my main motivation to finish but this year has taught me to focus more on my personal happiness. At the end of the day, whether or not I am a nurse, I know that my parents will still love me and be proud of me. So I’m doing this for them but most importantly I’m doing it for ME.
I’ve worked so hard to get where I am, and I’m praying and hoping for good news this January! Thank you God, for never leaving me, for reminding me that I am enough, and for always keeping my faith in you greater than all of my heart’s fears.
Love,
