Last night Gracie and I were watching the Hannah Montana movie together and enjoying some mommy daughter time, when Miley starts singing THE CLIMB. I never really realized that everything these past 2 years has been completely about that song. As I sat there listening to the words I began to get really teary. I came to the realization that every step and situation has been a climb, many mountains have come our way but through perseverance and prayer God has brought us through for sure. I know in my heart I am right where God has me. I always say that he doesn't bring a storm to us unless he brings us through it. EVERY storm is a learning curve for us!!!! I can guarantee there will be many more mountains to climb over the next 15 mos. as we embark on this amazing journey. There will be many times I will likely feel like giving up, but through it I will rely on my God to give me the strength and understanding needed to bring me through :) I am posting the words to the song THE CLIMB as it will be my song thru the next year and a half. Even though it is not a Christian song, it really shows how Satan can tear us down as we are trying to reach our dreams.
THE CLIMB by MILEY CYRUS
I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"
Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking
But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb
The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking
I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going
And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on
'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose
Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!
Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith

Nursing School
So bare with me :) This is my first time blogging, and I am still trying to get the hang of everything. I figure since I can talk a lot, maybe I can redirect that into writing. So I have decided that though the next 15 mos. I will blog about all my crazy experiences though Nursing School. I'm sure there will be plenty of things to talk about and learn as God takes me through this amazing experience.
So last week, the Friday before Easter we were in Orlando for Jason's dads wedding. We had been waiting for about a month for my nursing school acceptance letter and it still hadn't arrived in the mail by that Wednesday that we left. So I gave instructions to my neighbor, Jay, to call or text me if the UTA letter had come. So while we were sitting at Margaritaville I recieved a text message stating "The UTA letter is in the House". I immediately called Jay to find out whether it was good news or devastating news. I knew in my heart that God had worked it all out, and that it was really going to be fine. He had ordered my steps and whatever the news was, it was all in his plan. So as I sat there listening to Jay open the letter and start reading the letter to me and Jason over the phone, I had an overwhelming feeling of emotion run thru me. I had been accepted into the School of Nursing. Something I had been praying for, for many years, and here it was. My Ultimate moment.
I have to admit, I still haven't come off my high!!!!!! It is such a rewarding feeling knowing that all these semesters have paid off.
What an amazing journey God has set before me. One I absolutely cannot wait to embark on.
So, June 14, 2010, I will officially start the program and will graduate the end of Aug. 2011. So continue to check back as I blog all my moments through Nursing School.
