and it's back.....

Well I have been back to nursing school for a week and it is CRAZY. My workload has pretty much doubled and I have already become very overwhelmed. How in the world will I do 3 days of clinical and 5 classes??? For the past few days, when I have gone to sit down to study, it has been so difficult. I never knew you could "read" the same page about 5 times and still not remember a thing you read! Last semester was quite different and I did extremely well. This one is going to be a bit tougher. I really struggled with my feelings of doubt in myself. But the Lord put this Third Day song in my head:

Even though the journey's long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who's gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I've been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

I can do this. I will do this. The Lord has given me an awesome opportunity and so far has more than provided the strength that I have needed. And when I am done I will have the privilege of being able to show Christ's love to people in an incredible way. Thank you Jesus!
