My Goal

In about a month I will be starting nursing school. My experience with school has not been one that I am proud of and I am trying to prove to myself and my family that I can do this. I haven't told my dad nor my oldest sister that I am even going to start nursing school so that I can keep as much negative energy away from my goal. As far back as I can remember, nursing has been a dream of mine and I am not going to let anyone get in the way of that. 
One day I would love to follow one of the verses that defines me. "... to preach the word of God and heal the sick" Luke 9:2 I feel that God has called me to proclaim his love and his word through nursing and that is what I want to do more than anything. 
I have never been good at sharing my feelings with people and tend to be that person who bottles everything up. I have found that writing things down really helps with my stress and allows me to get my feelings out without having to hurt anyone around me. My goal with this blog is to share my journey of nursing school, finding myself, and striving to be a Godly woman in a world that tells us otherwise. 
One of my main mottos is to Defy Gravity. I got this saying from my favorite musical, Wicked, but I really feel that it defines the way that I want to live my life. To Defy Gravity means to not allow others to determine how you live your life or who you are. In Romans 12:2, we are told to not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. To me Defying Gravity encourages me to not conform to this world. I am going to make it my mission to write everyday to share my journey and what I encounter through out my journey. May God be glorified in everything that I do and everything that I share.
