The two weeks before that were spent at orientation for my new job, and I am very excited to only have a three day work week. The first two weeks were five 8 hour days instead of three 12s. Work is going well and I feel like I am adjusting. The family is good and I love when we all get together. I do have three rather sick family members though two with Cancer and one with an incurable lung disease. Their daily battle to not spend their time in self pity gives me a constant reminder of how blessed I am to be healthy.
I took my Nclex yesterday and felt greatly defeated afterwards. I should know more tomorrow, but for now I'm just waiting and trying not to fret. If I didn't pass this time I'll just try again, my bible study group at Dawson is studying about the characteristics of God this summer. The most recent topic I have read is on God's sovereignty. The book ends the section with the following: "His sovereignty means I can trust him. When life seems more than I can bear or deals me a bitter blow and my heart is crushed with pain; I will anchor myself to his greatness. His sovereignty is my surety. I can rest in the knowledge that when all is said and done everything will be alright. He will make it so. His counsel will stand, and he will accomplish his purpose." Knowing God by Name- Mary A. Kassian I realize I may seem dramatic especially after mentioning my very ill relative's situations, but these words bring comfort in all situations no matter how big or small. Happy Tuesday.
