Give me peace....

Today I met with my with my nursing advisor and my stress level went from about a 5 to a 25. I was talking to her about finally being able to apply to the nursing program which will be in the fall of 2011. I know that seems so far away but when I enter the program I will start to have clinicals and the time I will have to spend at school and away from Brady and the kids will become more and more the further I get into school. I want to be a nurse so badly and I know that God is pushing me in that direction with such force that I know I can't let him down. It is so hard trying to be everything I need to be while also keeping my grades up at school. I have a wonderful husband who supports everything I do....as well as the best in-laws that I could have ever wished for. The family support is what keeps me going! I know that when I finally get to the point where clinicals come into play that my kids will be older and it will be easier. One of my classes is going to require me to leave the country for 3 weeks....Zambia or Peru....although this will be a once in a lifetime opportunity the thought of it just makes me stress even more. I love this prayer....the serenity prayer because it does give me peace. I often times go down on my knees and just pray that prayer and ask God to give me the strength to go on and the wisdom to know just what I can do and just what I can't. To take one assignment, one class, one semester at a time and trust in him in all I do!
