It's Going to be Alright

Hi Everyone,

I am just stopping by to encourage you, today. I am still very busy with school and my time is very limited; however, I want you to know that I am thinking about you. Whatever you are going through today I want to let you know that it will not last forever. There will come a time when you can look back and rejoice because you are an overcomer. Below you will find one of my favorite songs. Please listen to it and meditate on the words. I am praying for you.

Finding Her Path

                                                         My beautiful daughter

My lovely daughter finished her sophomore year in college this spring and is looking forward to starting her junior year this fall. This summer she is working as a residential assistant (RA) at her college and she indicated to me that she likes the responsibilities of the job. She also stated that she is learning from the challenges that come with this job. She had informed us when she came home for spring break that she would not be coming home this summer. Her father and I supported her decision to stay at college throughout the summer. However, we did not know that this decision would be so hard on the emotions; nevertheless, we still know that we did the right thing in giving her our support.

We know that our daughter is finding her path in life, and experiences such as her summer job will help to enhance her leadership skills. This experience will also help her as she finds her path in life. So, as hard as it is to not have our daughter home for summer we are very proud of her for choosing to work at her college as a summer RA. We can clearly see that our daughter is growing up and is making good choices in life. Therefore, we are thankful to God and to the many people that He has used to positively influenced her.

Today, I pray for my children and for the children of everyone that reads this blog. I pray that they will find their purpose in life and work in that purpose to serve others. May they be a blessing to others and may they receive all the blessings that belong to them from the foundation of the world. This is my prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.

Be Blessed,

I Must Carry On

"The heights that great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight,

 but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards through the night." (Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

It is about 1:42 AM in the morning and although I am tired I cannot go to sleep because I have two assignments that are due today. I worked the evening shift yesterday and reached home a few minutes after 12 midnight. I am very tired but I must get my assignments completed because after work tonight will be too late.

I am making the sacrifice now to finish my BSN program, and at the same time I have to find time to smell the roses. Therefore, tomorrow before work I will go to a nearby lake to just sit and meditate.

I wish I could write on this blog more often but right now I must spend time completing my assignments. After spring semester I only received about five days off  before starting summer semester; and as a result, this time is a bit challenging because I have never taken more than one class in the summer before. Anyway, there is always a first time in every new event. Therefore, with God's help I will carry on until I finish my course.

I pray that you will complete your goal/s also and be successful in all that you do!!!

Be Blessed,


Joy
