I am so sorry I've neglected you all for a month. I came home from Mexico, and just dropped off the world wide web. Welcome to Nursing School. God is constantly challenging me inside, and outside of the classroom. I'm trusting that God wants me to stay in nursing, and He will just have to figure out everything if I actually get in the program. (Freshman students are accepted on a pre-nursing basis). I'll just continue to do my best with 15 credit hours english, communication, mircobiology, political science, and chemistry. Yucky semester. I'm also a professional workaholic on the side. this does not help my life.
God has been bring me back to a place over, and over again. He brings me back to walking through the squatter village in Monterrey. Let me do my best to take you there. Imagine getting off a bus after about and hour ride. Your excited to get out, and smell the fresh air. We begin to take small tour of the slums. Suddenly the smell of animals is overwhelming. In this area of the city, the goverment allows people to make houses out of whatever they find. Small shacks are built out of alunium, and tarps. Our host Olga knocks on people's door which are simply just covered with a blanket of some sort. She invites them to come to our medical clinic. The next house is about 10 feet big, and just like in the snow white, 3 little kids lean out of the door. The dusty road and climate is overwhelming. I start praying for these people who have nothing. I use my little bit of spanish to communicate with the children. We play soccer, and the ball hits me pretty hard. All the children apologize in Spanish but I don't understand them. I shake it off, and play with my new friends. I meet a little girl who just clings to my side. She plays with my camera, and sunglasses. At this moment I know I'm exactly where God wants me to be.
God has fully support me again to go to Mexico in June. I'm amazed at His Faithfulness. I'm so excited to be going home in June. Where I belong.
Isaiah 30:21
