But ...Totally understand where you are coming from. But if you feel deep inside that its where God wants you then I guess you can only wait on God's perfect timing. And, like you said, how hard that can be! Well...I checked my blog comments and they are set to 'anyone' so I don't know what the deal is. :( Maybe it'll start working eventually. As for my dream job...its rather impractical and idealistic. But I would love to be a stay-at-home mom with a couple kids and freelance writer/author. But I don't really want to bring children into this world and can't afford to be at home writing for nothing...so it's just this sort of intangible dream. What do I want to do that's actually realistic? I have no idea! :)Azurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687847200523053790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938347341984248748.post-76998607254966567502010-03-21T21:23:22.560-04:002010-03-21T21:23:22.560-04:00P.S.

I'm...Azure, thanks so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you can relate, even though for your sake, I wish you didn't:).And you're right, there are a lot of variables:)<br />If all goes well, I will be graduating this December, so I am definitely quite a ways along.<br />I wish I could say I have clear plans for my future. One of my initial reasons for doing nursing was to go overseas, and I would still love to do that, it'll just be postponed for some years due to my loans. <br />The typical hospital setting definitely adds to my problem with nursing.I am sure I would enjoy working at a lifestyle center, but like you said, at least for the first couple of years, I would have to make more than what they offer.<br /><br />I can honestly say that there hasn't been a single week that I haven't struggled with this, but at the same time, God has through providential leadings(or simply silence) made it clear that this is where He wants me. Wether that means he intends for me to work as a nurse or not, I don't know.<br />Anyway, it's so compicated, I could go on forever. I just have to continue trusting Him.<br />I just sometimes wonder if I should stop bringing it up to God, you know?<br />But man, it's so hard! Especially with something that affects me so deeply.<br />What is your dream job Azure?<br />Some people know for sure what they would do if they could. I am not blessed with that--are you?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658567053619590014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938347341984248748.post-61346616110312202722010-03-21T11:15:19.042-04:002010-03-21T11:15:19.042-04:00I was talking to the hubby and asked him what his ...I was talking to the hubby and asked him what his thoughts are on your situation. He started off by saying it depends on how far you are into nursing, etc. (I wasn't sure) He said if you aren't into very far then you might want to pray for the Lord to show you if there is something else you should be doing. If you're farther into then you have left then you might want to go ahead and finish it before you go into something else. BUT if you finish nursing he also mentioned that you may want to look into the possibility of working at one of our lifestyle centers versus a conventional hospitals as it would be probably more fulfilling since you would actually get to see people recovering and not just seeing sick people after sick people with little to no results. I've heard of nurses getting bogged down with that. But of course, financially it probably wouldn't be near as good...and there are so many variables. And anyway, I don't really know what your future plans are but I thought since we were sitting here and discussing you behind your back (lol) that I'd throw our thoughts out there. :) Sorry so long...you don't have to publish all this. haha :PAzurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687847200523053790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938347341984248748.post-21788984143918533062010-03-21T10:17:45.258-04:002010-03-21T10:17:45.258-04:00First of all, HUGE hug to you.

Or if the fact it drains and takes more from you than others make it something you shouldn't be involved in. I really hope someone comments on your post that has some answers because you totally echoed my exact thoughts and questions.Azurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09687847200523053790noreply@blogger.com
