[[ God's Awesome Work ]]

God is absolutely amazing. Current mood: cheerful
Amazing...awesome...glorious...marvelous...majestic...whatever other words you can come up with to describe God, He's all of them. To sum it all up...he's INDESCRIBABLE.

Why am I giving God so much glory? Not only because He deserves it all the time and not only when He does something. But He has done something wonderful in my life & the life of a friend of mine.

You see, I have this friend that I was in nursing school with. She was quite a bit older than me but we were still friends. She wasn't the greatest influence...cursed...smoked...and such things like that. But I never gave in to any of those things. She never pressure me to either but still...I was exposed to it and of course there was always temptation there in my face. But...I stood my ground and was the Christian example that I was supposed to be. I was questioned several times about things I believed in and stood my ground and she was one that never put me down for any of it.

Well...here's the great part. Some months after we had graduated from nursing school she had e-mailed me and told me all about how she has quit smoking....is going to church...and doesn't curse anymore!!!! I was blown away when I learned all of this. Because knowing her as I did in nursing school....it was just amazing to me & it showed me that God does work miracles & is truly the ONLY one that can do the changing of anybody's heart. I talked to her on the phone today and just talking with here....not hearing her curse every other sentence...and hearing about her going to church...and God providing her with a great job was soooo amazing to me. I was cloud 9 and praising God for all of it.

It gives me great joy to see how her life has done almost a complete 180 since I last saw her. I know for sure that none of this could of been possible without God...and I give him complete credit for it. It shows how awesome and truly wonderful his power is. I also feel satisfied in that fact that I tried so hard not to give into anything during nursing school and that I had some kind of influence on her decisions.

God is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[[ It's Just Life ]]

What is my reasoning for not updating regularly...?? All I'm gonna say it...It's just life. Seriously...that's all it is. I either just decide to do other things because I do not feel like blogging or I just get busy and have no time to do...that's in all honesty even though I don't really have to explain myself to anybody for this is just a blog. Ha ha! Anywho...

Work has been pretty good. Busy as always. Never a dull moment & I'm always learning something new. I had my 1st experience putting somebody in a body bag & sending them to the morgue. They didn't die on my time...thank God. Because if they had...I think I would of had a harder time with it. My thoughts have not changed on one of the worst parts of nursing...patients family members. They can be a huge pain...I understand if you are concerned about your family member but don't be in a pain in the butt about little petty stuff that doesn't matter at the moment. Ugh! I've dealt with that alot in these past few weeks.

Some ask me, "So, do you still like your job?". I tell them that Yes...I love being a nurse. It's such a rewarding profession and I would not trade it for anything else in the world...but where I'm working at right now...I don't like it as much as I used to. But it is something that I am OK and can deal with right now. I need to get my experience in so that I can get other jobs that I can be qualified for...so...it's all good. Nursing is definitely what I am meant to do with my life though. That is for sure.

I am quite excited to announce that I am going to the Rascal Flatts concert on September 7th!!!! I am sooooo excited!!!! Jason Aldean will be coming with them. It's going to be an awesome show!! I absolutely love Rascal Flatts. They sings some great songs with some great meanings...so I'm very happy about it. We have lawn tickets but so what....I'm just happy about being able to go...that's all that matters to me.

Well, that's about it. Got some cleaning to do on my day off. Ye-haw!

God bless you all.

[[ A Good Day Off ]]

I just wanted to let you all know that I had a really good day today. First off...it was because I was off and did not have to work. Ha ha.

2nd of all...I spent the day with one of my great friends Jessica. =] Kinda like a girls day. I think I really needed it. Got my nails done...Jess a pedicure.Ate lunch at Subway...saw Savannah workin' hard. ;-) Thanks Savannah!

Mall for some shopping. Bought cute clothes & new scrub top for work.

Was goin' swimmin at the uncles house but starting rainin so...went to movies. Ate Coldstone Icecream...I had "For Coffee Lovers Only" and then we saw "Now I Pronounce You Chuck & Larry".

Not sure was I think of the movie. Does have some funny parts but of course with what the movie is about...had alot of sexual undertones and such so...I love Kevin James though....that dude is a nut!

Well my bed is callin' my name.

Good nyte,

Christine

[[ Decision Made ]]

Ok so I haven't update in a while and I'm sorry about that. Life has just been so busy and I just keep forgetting to take the time to come on here and update.

So my friend...that guy that I've talked about that I like. Right now we have just decided to play it cool and only be friends for now. We do not want to rush into any type of relationship and either one of us being hurt and he doesn't want to be pressured into dating me because there are those who are....and I do not want him feeling like that. I mean I'm not completely happy but I am cool with it and so glad that we are staying best friends. Because he is one of the best people I have ever met...besides he knows too much. Ha ha.

Other than that...life has been pretty good. Works been busy of course but...what else is new in the nursing profession?

Have a great Thursday!
