It’s still incredible for me to think that I actually started grad school today! To realize that the calling that I have felt on my life since 2008 began to become a reality today, as I sat through my first FNP class! In some ways…I can’t believe I’m at this point in my education already. And yet in other ways…it feels like it’s taken so long to get here.
...I felt like a child this morning, getting ready for my first day of school! I was eager and excited to step into this new season of life, and see what God has in store. When the first challenge was thrown at me early this morning- I was quickly reminded that this would not be an easy walk. And yet, despite the slight panic I felt, there was a calm- knowing that He has a perfect plan! As I thought about the situation throughout the day, and prayed for wisdom and direction… I continued to find a peace, knowing that He had my situation in His hands.
It felt great to walk into classrooms, filled with colleagues who are walking out this journey with me. However, the overview of just what was expected of us was slightly overwhelming… Research papers, projects, diagnostic exams, physical exams, clinical experiences….
I sit here tonight…feeling slightly overwhelmed, feeling like my mind is racing in so many different directions, feeling like I don’t know where to begin… and yet deep down, there is peace. While it seems overwhelming now… I know that in just a few short weeks, I will look back, and wonder where the semester went! And somehow, the overwhelming-ness of it all…the research papers, research projects, exams, physicals, clinical… will all feel so natural and right.
"You hold my every moment.
You calm my raging seas
You walk with my through the fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in You
I trust in You
…You hold my world in Your hands!"
