   I see so many warm hearts here on the message board. I wish I were working with those of you. My perfect job would be to finish my NP and work in a doctors office where the staff prays for all the patients they are about to care for that day. This...

   Michelle, thanks for the reminder of who orders up our steps, in all situations. School has completely consumed me and my faith, and attendance in a faith building environment has taken a back seat. Getting back into the habit of praying will take ...
