Today I helped a close friend paint her new shop she is opening in July. I am so swollen and sore but had a great time.
School for Meadow is over in 2 days. Let the summer begin.
Tomorrow I find out where I place in the RN program at ITT out of 30 students. I'd made up my mind that I was not going back. Now, I think it depends on where I place. I'll be sure to update and let everyone know.
I'm thinking of teaching. It's what I really wanted to do in nursing anyway. Get my Master's so I could teach. But right now who knows. I'm taking the summer off.
I am working out of my home for a company now. I'm just getting it off the ground but at the same time I'm job hunting. Looking for anything really. Dental Assisting, retail, wherever. If my home business takes off I'll just stay home and help my friend Kimmie with her new store that I mentioned above.
The Lord is wooing me. I feel Him nudging me, calling me back to Him. I've been so lost and so backslidden. I'm so bitter towards churches. So confused on denomination. I'm praying again, reading His word, remembering to listen for Him direction. I know I have some serious prayer warriors praying for me. Thank-you. Thank-you so much. Through my depression and medications it's been a numbing experience and feeling conviction just disappeared for a long time. I've said many times I've just been wandering. All that wander are not lost. Yet, that is what I've felt. Unsettled. I'm so grateful to feel convicted for things. I'm on a journey. I have no idea where I'm headed but God does. He is in control.
I'm not looking back. I'm looking forward. I know there are great things coming.
Forgive me Father. Strengthen me to persevere. Lead, guide and direct me. I desire to be in Your perfect will.

sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
God's Judgment on the Ungodly
Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it
was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For
there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God
into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus
Christ.
I
will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how
that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt,
afterward destroyed them that believed not. And
the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own
habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto
the judgment of the great day. Even
as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving
themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set
forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet
Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about
the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But
these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they
know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt
themselves. Woe
unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily
after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of
Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To
execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among
them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and
of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
A Call to Persevere
But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Doxology
Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
