Kaits big step
Hey everyone
sooo I never have any time to actually write stuff on this blog and so much has been happening lately.
I wanted to let everyone know that I moved...aaannd I wanted everyone to know that I have applied for the nursing program and for my pre requisite classes!
Im so freaked out about it... I stress out in a school environment and there are still some aspects to nursing that arent super appealing to me...so your wondering why on earth am I applying for it right?? welll its a long story. I guess I should tell it now hehe.
A few of you know that I have been really interested in doing some sort of missions in the future. I have never really known what area i have been called to though and I have gone to missions fest three times with the overwhelming feeling that I am supposed to be doing something. I went this year ready to really seek out what God wanted for me. It was such a weird weekend... I was soo exhausted and I was so busy trying to see everyone that I knew that I only did about 2 sessions. Ashley tarchuk must have noticed how strange i was acting because she proceeded to nudge me into the paths of recruiting mission agencies and then helped me sign up for an appointment with a career/missions planning counsellor. The appointment was sooo helpful ashley was sitting in on it for support. The lady asked me where I was working and she asked me where I saw my self in a year... and with tears in my eyes I replied that I still saw myself in the same place and the same job. (that freaked me out!)
so we talked for a bit and she helped me figure out my likes and what areas my strengths were in and we narrowed it down to counselling, social work, nursing or teaching. because I love to help people and share my knowledge with them. The reason nursing struck me as something that I wanted to do was that I would be able to raise money once i was a nurse so that I would be able to raise my own support and then I would be useful in the mission field. I love that thought so much and I love that I will be able to express Jesus' love through compassion and healing I cant even imagine how rewarding this experience will be. I know there are so many fields that i can branch in to with nursing so i can teach people how to take care of basic health issues or teach a mother how to take care of their new baby. or help someone by dressing their wounds.
Plus nursing sort of runs in the family hehe my great grandma, my grandma, and my mom took nursing.
I am so nervous/excited I know I have my career right now but I havent been overly happy here. I love the girls in my office but its been so busy for the month of january and a bit into february, the phones have been ringing off the hook It has been soo stressful and one of the girls in the office can be a little confrontational at times. I have been coming in early every morning and I have had to stay late several times and considering that this is a 9-5 job its not a good thing. I dont mind the work we do but I would rather be working towards getting out on the mission field, so if that means being poor and in school for the next 4 years then thats fine by me. I think the prolonged stress hasnt been to good for me either I had to go to the doctors just the other day because I have been so exhausted all the time. I had to get blood work done this saturday haha and the nurse thought i was going to faint...thankfully giving needles is going to be different then getting them. haha I will have to learn how to get over certain things. I would love it if you guys could pray for my health and for my application process. Please pray that God will direct me to where I should be, I know that nursing will be a field that I really like but there are some things that I will have to get used to. Also pray that I will be able to afford going to school here!
This is such a huge decision Im trying to just trust God and relax but there are so many things to think about. so ya I thought I would let ya'll know whats up
on other subjects Im really loving my church! and I am going to start helping out with the youthgroup...I know i have been saying that for a while. but i am for sure...hold me to this guys I have been such a slacker. And I had my houswarming party on saturday night and our landlords didnt kill us about the noise...we were a little worried but we had so many people over it was soo much fun and I am soo excited about my new place.. my roomate bought a fish..and it died the next day...so we bought two more! lol lets hope they have a longer life!
I have been meaning to get a hold of you guys individually and i really apologize for not keeping in touch I think about you guys a lot and this blog makes me so happy
any hoo I have to get workin so I will talk to you lata
