Does anyone else feel like this about NS? I have been wanting to go for years, but it never works out. My husband and I are always helping other people with everything and great things always happen to everyone else. I don't get it?! Does anyone elase ever feel like you are always helping everyone else in your life but there is never anyone to help you?
I really don't want to be one of those people who are selfish because I really, really love being able to help other people... I just can't help but wonder when it is my turn.
Thanks for listening..
It's funny that you say that because everytime I start feeling this way I always remind myself that God loves a cheerful giver. It just sucks because I know it is the right thing to do and I know that if I am patient long enough and work hard that eventually things will start working out for me.
How much more successful could you be at giving, as a Registered Nurse, than you are as a miserable whatever-it-is right now?

BethT, if you are a giving person then you will make a great nurse. Nursing is a giving profession...we give ourselves, time, energy, caring to people everyday. The Lord loves a cheerful nurse, too! It isn't selfish to want to take your giving to a higher level.
One thing I noticed is you haven't mentioned if your husband is supportive of your wish to be a nurse. is he willing to sacrifice the money and time together to let you serve others this way? If he's backing you, I would go for it. If he's not, you might need to seek counseling from your pastor or a third party you both trust.
Wanting to be a nurse is a noble calling. We need all the good nurses we can get. Don't let that depressive cloud overcome you. God bless.
