Hope and Blessings

Sometimes, well actually most of the time, when a challenge comes my way that I have to face, I cannot help but think to myself, "this is going to be a train wreck and I probably will die from it."  Yes, I can be a bit dramatic. But, I come to find that whether I quote that before a Chemistry exam or before I face a common day frustration, I usually take the death-march to where I need go and face the challenge.
  And, as you can see, I am still alive and able to write this blog post.  As humans, we have an urge and desire to succeed.  As a result, we tend to get nervous, receive butterflies in our stomach, and continue to succeed or fail the challenge presented before us by God.

What I tend to forget is that everything is okay, and everything will be okay.  I mean, God has never failed me.  He has certainly steered me away from disastrous situations (especially boys), and he has led to where I need to be, I believe. God has also led me through the storms that have came across my path.

For example, the past couple weeks I have been stressed with FASFA and wondering if I would be able to attend college or not this year.  Here's some advice: always apply FASFA early, or it will take forever to know your award.

Well, I only received a small loan and there was no way I would be able to afford college.  I just continued to constantly pray about the situation, and on July 30th I finally received notice that I earned a scholarship for Nursing again.  And trust me, I was screaming in the library with joy when I read the notice on the computer.

And now, everything is much more relaxed for me.  At least for now, I still have to worry about paying off a speeding ticket and books for my classes. Yet, I know I just have to remain hopeful and pray about the situation.

Jeremiah 29:11 states: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Although I am still uncertain as to what God has in store for me, but I think He wants me to become a Nurse and do good for others, just like He has been good to me.

So, if you readers feel like tomorrow you are going to take a death-march attending your first day of school, a math test, or even work! I highly suggest praying about the issue!  God is in control, and he will never fail you!  Because, God is Love.  And Love never Fails. :)
