In this chapter of life, college is a big part of my life. Unexpectedly, I found myself with the grand idea of becoming a Registered Nurse. Never in my life would I have dreamt of being in the medical field. From a young age, the sight of blood made me cringe. I could never have thought of bathing a dear woman stricken to her bed. But here I am, dealing with blood and caring for sick people.
As with any degree, a specified number of electives are required for completion. My understanding was that I had completed all coursework except the core nursing componenets. As I was tearing my hair out in mid-May right before finals week, my professor announced that I was missing one elective. Frustration overtook me. My whining ensued. I wanted my summer to myself. Just to work and come home each day. I had been looking forward to having a little leisure time on my hands. But as I searched through the available summer classes, I realized that the only course available was creative writing. I was interested, but skeptical. English was my favorite subject throughout school, and I received compliments on my writing, but my internal insecurities made me doubt my abilities. Eight weeks have passed, the course finished, and I regret ever having an attitude about taking this writing-intensive workshop. Once again, God has proven to me that my attitude needs to cease, and my trust be solely in Him. He has me in his hands. He knows the orchestration of my life; I'm not the pilot. Not only have I cherished this course, but it has renewed my passion for writing and pushed me into uncharted territory in poetry. And as I write these words, God's gentle reminder speaks to my spirit saying, "Don't fret. Let Me lead your life. I have you in My hands."
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
Jesus loves you,
Molly
