For the few people that read this blog, I figured you want want an answer to my last post about "Big Decision".
Well, after lots of fasting, prayer, thoughts, debate, and discussion, I have decided I will not be going to nursing school. This is probably the hardest decision I have ever made. I have worked my whole collegiate career on being a nurse. When I didn't get in this last year, I let that dream go, and choose to follow a different path.
The letter from Weber through everything for a loop and almost made me go crazy (literally!). But I believe that the Lord will direct your path in the way that is best if you put your faith in him! Well I took that to heart and put a lot of faith in Him. I honestly feel that I should stay on the path that I am on and follow the Lord's plan for me. As much as I want to be a nurse, it is not the right thing for me to pursue.
So instead I will be graduating in May with my BS degree in Human Development and Family Studies. Possibly pursuing Child Life after graduation. Though nursing has a better job market and much better pay, I know that one day I will touch someones life with my human development degree. Whether big or small this is the path I should be on.
I am grateful to my Heavenly Father for listening to my fasting and many prayers and helping guide my life in the direction I should be going. I love my Father in Heaven and I am so grateful I have Him to turn to in my times of need!
So here goes life with all the good and bad things that come with it! I am excited for the future and everything I will get to do and experience!
Yay! I'm excited for you. I love studying family life studies. I'm amazed at how much I've been able to use it. I have greatly struggled with the poor financial return on the degree, but with the subjects I'm learning I know our Father in Heaven has been able to use me in ways I never would've imagined. Plus, I've often considered going on to get a masters so I can teach at night and kind of make up for that financial side. I like following your decisions because it seems I've almost mirrored your same thoughts :)
