I really thought this would be the right time to advance my own education as well. I continue to work every Sat and Sun in a local hospital ICU. I really love that job and feel that nursing is not my career but my ministry. As I age I know that the bedside care I have come to love is not something I can do later. Nursing is very physically demanding.
Sure, sure I have said this before but why would I stop working on my Masters Degree so that I can teach nursing later on. It is simple, my family is first and my new grand-baby will be here in April. IF...IF M gets the new job and K can stop her job then of course I can return to college. Right now that is not the situation so I must halt what I am doing. K is very sick still, not new baby sick but APS sick. She needs everything I can muster to help out right now.
God has different plans for my life it is clear. I must follow as it is given me each day. Maybe He does not intend for me to teach in the classroom but use me in the clinical setting as I do now. I so enjoy having students with me for the day, they enjoy the experience and the local Community College nursing instructors have been encouraging me to join them. I must consider that God needs me where I am. After all, teaching puts me back to work dive days per week. My weekend option program is a terrific gig!!!
That is all for now. I hope this did not sound like I am terribley disappointed as I know enough to follow the path He puts in front of me and rejoice in it, even if I have a temporary disappointed moment.
I think that it is ok for us to be a tad bit disappointed when things don't go the way WE want but when we realize that we are following God's plan, we can not go wrong. I will pray for God to give you the answers you seek!
