Accepted

I cannot believe it -though I don't know why- but I've been accepted into the ADN (Associates Degree Nursing or Registered Nursing) program at the college I applied to! I'm so excited and yet scared to death. I've been working over a year full-time while attending college full-time to gain all of the prerequisites and any extra class I could get out of the way and even though I'm just beginning this journey I feel like I'm at the end of a big one too!

At the end of one.

Getting ready to begin another.

The waiting was hard. As hard as I tried to not be anxious and have total peace I just couldn't, not every moment. I knew I'd prayed so hard. I knew that God was in control. I knew that He would choose my path because I'd asked Him to close doors and open doors that I may know the path to take.

He did.

Either way I would have been fine. Honest-I really would have. I would have worked another year and reapplied.

Savannah Sky checked the mail for me that day. She asked,"momma do you want me to open it?" "Yes," I replied, "read it word for word."

When she read that I had been accepted she was screaming and I was silent. She asked me, "Mom? Are you there? Are you okay?" "Yes, baby, momma is fine," I whispered, "I'm just at work and I have to be quiet."

In all honestly I was crying. The tears came and I trembled. I hadn't realized how badly I really wanted this.

Thank-You Father. Thank-You so much for blessing me over and over when I deserve nothing. Thank-You for caring about even the smallest of things. Thank-You for being in control. Keep Your hand over me, protect and guide me. Keep my heart focused and full of You. Use me everyday of my journey to help, to love, to reach someone.

Prepare the way.

Prepare the way.

This vision that You've given me gives me goosebumps. I get so excited I want to jump forward in time a few years, but I know, I've much to do, I've much to learn. Every moment, I'm thankful for.

Draw me closer to You Father.

In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

Easter

We had such a great time together. We spent wonderful time with my mom and dad and family. They cooked us a wonderful meal and then we colored eggs and napkins. The girls enjoyed tye dying the napkins. :) God is so good. I thank Him for these simple times together.

HE IS RISEN!

Matthew 28:1-20

New King James Version (NKJV)

He Is Risen

28 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat on it. ³ His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow.⁴ And the guards shook for fear of him, and became like dead men. ⁵ But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here; for He is risen, as He said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. ⁷ And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” ⁸ So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord

⁹ And as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. ¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”

The Soldiers Are Bribed

¹¹ Now while they were going, behold, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all the things that had happened. ¹² When they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, ¹³ saying, “Tell them, ‘His disciples came at night and stole Him away while we slept.’ ¹⁴ And if this comes to the governor’s ears, we will appease him and make you secure.” ¹⁵ So they took the money and did as they were instructed; and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

The Great Commission

¹⁶ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. ¹⁷ When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. ¹⁸ And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. ¹⁹ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

So Chase Only After God

God never bases your worth and potential on what people think.

 – He bases it only on what He thinks. – 

So chase only after God.
