Who do you think of to get you through?

[jschut]

When the hard times come, in school and out, who do you think of to get you through?

I think of my Mom...

She's a beautiful, strong woman who has always been there for me. Through anything and everything. I know I can always call and ask her advice about anything, including school. And I knew, deep in my heart, that I would wade through knee deep **** to become a nurse, when I saw the look on my Mothers face when I told her I was back in college. She is my heart! I love you Mom!:kiss

I think of my children...

who deserve more than what I can give on my factory pay job. They stand by me, ready with hugs and kisses whenever I am feeling low and am ready to say, "to heck with this!". They are always ready to lend a hand in housework or just to snuggle on, and most important of all...they are always ready with an "I love you Mom!" (For me!)

And I think of me...

Of how hard I have worked to get this far, and how far I can continue to go if I only keep faith in myself and in my God.

So....who do you think of when the going gets rough?

The people I think of is first and foremost the man up above (God) I really believe in philippians 4:13.

Secondly, My daughter. She has given me the strength I need when the going gets tough. All I have to do is look into her precious little eyes and get extra motivation for her.

Third, My parents they have been supportive through it all. Without them I don't think I would be graduating in May 2003.

Fourth, a author, daytime talk show host, and motivationa/inspirational speaker by the name of Iylana Vanzant. She has written about 10 books and I have 8 of them. She gives me lots and lots of inspiration because she was a high school drop out, she had her first baby by her 16th birthday, two more by her 21st birthday and had left an abusive relationship. She reminds me so much of myself. I did not drop out of high school but I had my daughter at 17 and left an abusive relationship too. Iylana went on to college AND law school, she met the man of her dreams and married him and successfully raised all of her children. She is quite a powerful woman today!

Last but not least my nursing advisor. She had total faith in me and she saved me from totally dropping out of nursing school during the middle of my first semester when I was having a really tough time and she gave me some wonderful advice.

I think about trusting God even more. In my deep despair I still hold on to God. This is like a therapy for me.

Believe and trust in God,,,,, That's he's not going to give me more than I can handle,,,,, one day at a time,,,, one minute,,,or second at a time,,,,,,,

My maternal grandmother who raised me and was my 'mother' until she passed away,,,,, I know now she is my guardian angel.,,,,, believe me there have been times she has worked overtime,,,,,to save me,,,,,,

My husband,,,,,, who,,, loves and supports me through everything,,,,,,,,,

& specifically on the job I have now ,,,,,,,, when administration is driving me crazy,,,,,my residents,,,,, I have to protect them from powers that be,,,,,,,, ~~Moon~~

Julielpn, LPN, futureRN: Thank you very much. :kiss It is amazing what one moment in your life can do to change it completely.

I truly believe it's what you make of what you're dealt that counts. :)

I rely on my faith in God, the love and support of my husband, the love and admiration of my children who are also sacrificing so much right now so that mommy can become a nurse, and my parents who are so proud and constantly giving me encouraging words!
