i just want to share with everybody this inspiring message that i found on the internet a few months ago by sheila gosney.... it helped me overcome my sadness when i failed the nclex for the first time.
now that i passed the nclex after taking it for the second time the message made me cry again but not for the same reason as before.... before it made me cry because of sadness but now it made me cry again because of priceless happiness. i hope that this message can inspire everyone....
[color=#339966]faith found a garden
[color=#993300]i've learned a few things in the course of hardship
that are priceless, steadfast and true.
i've learned no matter how hard this life gets
the lord won't forget about you.
i've learned that at times your spirit gets tired
and your faith can get low and depleted.
but the faithfulness of god never gets exhausted
and comes in to supply what is needed.
i've learned you can live through enormous crisis
that doesn't seem to have reason or rhyme.
but somehow and some way god turns them to riches
through his wisdom and passage of time.
i've learned that the deficits & shortages of life
were not meant to cause heartache or shame.
for they made me look up to god's well of provision
and trust in the strength of his name.
i've learned it's the hard times that teach us the most
about god and his character of old.
for it's during those seasons i clung to his word
and every promise that he's ever told.
i've been refined in my heart and my mind
because he tendered me through difficult years.
and faith found a garden in the soil of my heart
that was watered by all of my tears.

nice passage its true if you have faith in god and that you believe in him..thanks for sharing..:redbeathe

THANK-you so much for sharing this!!! I printed it off, and read it when I begin to doubt myself or when I feel that my life has been unfair!!! It gives me the strength and courage to keep going, even if it is just for a while....then I begin to break down again, and I will read this again....the cycle goes on and on...and eventually, I believe I wll have the confidence to succeed!!! Please pray for me, for the strength and courage to continue to study, even when I feel it is too late or impossible!!! I will be testing on March 25 for my nclex, my job offer and children depend on this test!!!

Thank-you to everyone who has read this and thank-you for a beautiful message!!!:redbeathe :redbeathe :redbeathe :redbeathe :redbeathe :redbeathe

I will be praying for you. God can do the impossible and I have proven His love and mercy a lot of times. All you really have to do is believe. Believe in yourself and believe that God loves you and only wants the best for you. :)
