Hi! I am not much of a blogger, but several friends of mine suggested that my story might be encouraging to anyone who ever feels like giving up. I am a single mother or four beautiful children. I was 4 months pregnant with my last child when my partner left me. I also had a one year old, a 7 year old, and a 13 year old. We had to leave our place and I moved home with my mother. I was working a full time job and going to school full time, trying to get the prerequisites to enter the nursing program. We had a monumental time of it. But God is sooo good all the time and we had our faith and each other. I made it through. In nursing school, I frequently had to carry the med-surg book, the peds books, every single study element with me everywhere. To the doctor's office, dentist, recitals, school events,etc. I would sometimes not sleep so I could study, clean, wash clothes, care for a sick baby. It seemed as though I would NEVER make it. My friends were very supportive. I began to find people who would and could help me. I made it through. I made it through. God's grace...I made it through. I passed my NCLEX and now work on a med-surg/oncology floor. My best friend Rockel (who was many a life saver!) will be working with me. I just wanted anyone who needs to know that no matter how hard or how impossible a situation is, if you believe....REALLY believe...God always finds a way. :wink2:
