In less than 2 weeks from today I'll be starting my first job as a MURSE. Still can't figure out what I'm feeling about it. I'm really excited that I'm finally done with nursing school and can finally begin my career, but I can't help feeling a bit worried and scared. I guess I can only pray that I will have the strength, knowledge and preparedness to be a successful murse. Honestly, I feel the same way I did when I graduated from UCI...confused, worried, and for some reason inadequate. But I guess the only way to get over these feelings is to believe and trust in Him. Wow...it's so easy to type and say that, but the reality of it is that it's much more difficult to do so.

You will know that God's power is very great for us who believe. - Ephesians 1:19

I spoke with a classmate today and we agreed that the majority of us are so self absorbed that we forget about who we really are and what we as Christians are called to do. For instance, our society for some reason has programmed us to seek money, become greedy and compete against one another in order to succeed. But what is the real definition of success? Money? Power? Social Acceptance?...who knows! I will honestly say that I am guilty of these. I'm not proud of it but again, this is how we "survive" in today's society. However, we all need to remember to take a step back and reflect on the reasons why we have chosen a certain profession and why God has planned out our lives to be the way it is. REFLECT. Let's be Christ-like and focus on helping one another to strive for excellence rather than competing with one another for the sole purpose of "SUCCEEDING". I truly believe that helping one another will only result in positive outcomes. When was the last time you stepped back, removed yourself from yourself and put others first so that they could be one step closer to success?

It's late...sorry if that totally didn't make sense. It sounded right to me...haha

New Year's Resolution: REFLECT more on the blessings He showers me with!
