Who do you think of to get you through?

Published

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?

I think of myself. And I remind myself of what I want and what is ahead. Strength comes from within and from all that you have experienced. As well of all that is to come. I am first.

Just the thought that I can't look back. I need to go forward. I get so scared sometimes. I pray alot. I pray all the time, for strenght, courage(I need alot of that!) and fatih ,that threw him all things are possible. For me God and my family are my strenght.

i have grown in my faith and realize with god, all things are possible. when i get down about school, i am starting to be reminder of how i quit my job, took care of then a 10 yo, 3 yo and an 1 yo, drove an hour one way to school and survived lpn school. i am standing on the promises of god for the same assurance while i embark upon my rn.

julie, i see you have only 4 more days to go :cool:! i remember the feeling when i was winding down when i was in lpn school.

much continued success to you!

I think about my boyfriend, and the fact that I have planned not to get married until after graduation. ;) Dating gets really old after a while! :rotfl:

Seriously, though. It always makes the work seem more manageable if I can just say, "Okay, this brings me one more step towards being DONE."

I think of those who have sacrificed for me to do this. I also think of how incredibly I have done in accomplishing all of this so far.

I just need to go a little further, a little further...

Mostly, I think of my son, Thomas, who died at 3 1/2 months from SIDS. He is my driving force behind wanting to do this...and do it well. I know he is watching and I want him to be proud when I help other mothers and fathers with their babies.

First and foremost......I think of my Heavenly Father...my Daddy...who is always with me no matter the circumstance or situation in my life. :kiss

Secondly......I think of my maternal grandmother who gave so much love, compassion, strength, instruction in word and example, and the best hugs on earth during her life. I think of her in her absence of this life, and feel her spirit with me always. :kiss

Thirdly, my children.....my grandchildren.....they give me a reason to live beyond the pain in my own life. Through them......because of them......I learned how to love and be loved. :kiss

I think of my husband and how much he is willing to sacrifice for me to go to school and how much he supports what I am doing.......
