Lord have mercy. This is for me, right? I have worked this hard and come this far and, well, this IS meant to be my road…right? It’s just after 8:30pm, and I am just now getting to sit down and study. I imagine my classmates have already put in their hours of memorizing and preparing for this week’s test, and pathocards, and clinicals, and lab skills; and modules for next week’s repeat of the same.
But not me. I am just now starting.
I left school today – picked up my kindergartener at his school, picked up my Running Start student at the community college, dropped off registration forms for my other daughter’s online high school, picked up my preschooler at his school, stopped my the grocery store, came home to a messy house, made dinner, got the boys ready for bed, clothes laid out for their tomorrow…and kept imaging that my classmates spent that same time in their books.
But not me. I am just now starting.
I have to believe that God brought me this far, because He knows the difference I will make in the lives of my patients. That’s what I do. That’s why I am here. That’s the one thing I know I can do really well…make a difference. So I believe that He will bring me all the way through. That’s what HE does, what He has always done for me. For me. Always.
Thank You, Lord. I love You.
Hitting the books now…
