So I've been home for almost two months now.. and things have changed a little since my last post. I started to re-think SBS and have been really trying to hear God about things. Last week I did something crazy and I visited Oklahoma City Community College! And this week I'm doing something even crazier and visiting OSU-OKC! I am looking at getting my associates degree in nursing. It's crazy, I know. But let's just back up about, oh nine months or so and look at things. When Jace got sick and was in the PICU for about ten days, God really stirred in me a passion for nursing. I wanted to be a nurse that brings hope and peace into the rooms of my patients and a nurse who is always looking for opportunities to share God's love. And since I've been home He's been reminding me of that passion. I would love to work in the PICU or even as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. And I believe that no matter where I am God will use me to minister to people. In the grand scheme of things.. all I really want is what He wants. I belong to Him. And He knows better than I do. I still don't know for sure what will happen, and I hesitate to even try to plan things out.. because I know they usually don't work out the way I plan. But, maybe I will be in school in the fall? Who knows? I feel a little flaky, because I said I was going to do one thing and now I'm saying another.. but honestly I don't know! It's an adventure! Right here in Oklahoma! Isn't it amazing how God always keeps us guessing..? I think it's kind of fun that way!
In the meantime.. :) I've been hanging out with my sweet family and a few friends and God somehow keeps my attention to teach me more things! I have been volunteering at a ministry called "All Things Baby" twice a week. Women (and sometimes men) come into our office, needing baby supplies. Diapers, clothing, shoes, toys.. anything! You name it! I get them signed in and in the computer system and then they are sent back to get set up and prayed for. I absolutely love it, and am so glad God can still use me even though it may feel small. My weeks are pretty crazy. Sometimes I'm super busy and sometimes I have a lot of time on my hands.. which I usually spend playing with my niece and nephew and hanging out with my sisters. I'm so excited to see what God has in store for me next and hopefully I will know soon! ;)
