Prayers needed!

I had my orientation today for the Nursing Program at school. So for three hours I sat through the faculty telling us all the rules and policies. But I also got to sit through the faculty and other nursing students telling me that once I begin the program my life will stop. I heard things like forget about your house being clean, your family getting meals every night, getting enough sleep, being able to be at functions for your children. I feel the need to cry!

Before I even began school, three years ago, I did alot of praying. At that time I felt like God said "put your feet in the water." So I did. Since then things have not always been easy, but I have gotten through it with out too much trouble and without neglecting my family. I told myself then and continue to tell myself that "It's going to be hard, but that just means that it is worth doing." But I am still really afraid! I don't want to neglect my home and family. I don't want to miss out on important things in their lives. I don't want to put extra stress and work on my husband, even though he really wants me to do this.

Do I have what it takes?

I don't really know. But as I face this challenge I do feel that being a nurse is what God has led me to do as long as I can be true to my priorities and values. Mainly; God, my family and then school/career.

So with the strength of God, the support of my husband and family, here goes my best... Please, please, please remember us in your prayers.

P.S. Even though this is a very big deal in our lives, it seems minute to the problems that people are facing because of the hurricane. I especially lift up in prayer those people in this hard time!
