The Shack

boredom is the mother of huge new ideas

So, i've been doing lots of thinking lately.  It's dead week and weirdly enough I don't have much to do.

I got done with my two research papers and realized I only had one final to study for.  This was bad.

At least right now, b/c I've learned that when I have big things on my mind, the worst thing I could have is lots of free time.  But, I do believe some good things have come from it.

Good Thing Number One:  So i've actually been thinking of this one for some time now, but... when I graduate from nursing school, and God willing I pass my boards, I am going to move to Argentina.  Well that is if i can find a job down there.  But my soul sista and I are planning on heading down to the spanish land of wonder to pursue some dreams of learning and teaching and living.  So many things could stop me from going, but I'm hoping and praying that God finds me a way to get there.  Keep it in your prayers ok?

Good Thing Number Two:  I finally got my packet for the Thailand mission trip, telling me details, dates, things I need to know, and LOTS of paperwork to fill out.  But it is the first step in actually making it to this new country i'm dying to explore!  But, I have realized there might be a small hiccup in my plans... I wanted to go see Summer and Michael for a bit after I was done with the mission trip.  I really want to do that still but... (which brings me to)

Good Thing Number Three:  I found an internship that I am applying for!!!  I would be working as a student nurse in the ICU/ER for 400 hours during the summer, I would be a nurse, not a CNA, and I would be getting 80% nurses wages!!! How much would that freaking rock!  I would make bank and have an awesome internship to put on my resume.  But the problem lies in not giving me extra time to visit family in Thailand.  I can work the 400 hours however I want to, but to fit in the three week mission trip and traveling for a while, I'd have to put in like 80 hour weeks... we'll see if I can wing it!  I just have to figure out all the details.  But I've been working on my resume and all the application paperwork for the internship, so wish me luck, most of all, pray for me please!

Good Thing Number Four:  Umm, I read a phenomenal book.  The Shack - by William P. Young.  Read it.  Just do it.

So, i think that pretty much sums up most of the major things in my life at the moment.  I can always use more prayers.  And know that I'm praying for you as well.

Love and kisses to all
