Ever since I wrote my last final exam on December 19th, the one I dreaded because the class was super hard and I was going into the exam with a 54, I was trying not to worry.
There were many things I was tempted to worry about such as:
- would I be allowed to continue in my program next semester if I failed?
- what would I do with my life if I couldn't continue?
- would I have to take the class again next year?
- what would the people who know me think of me if I failed?
I'm sure there were more things to add to that list but I decided to pray and trust the Lord to help me through the waiting period.
Waiting was hard. The marks were supposed to be posted last Tuesday but they weren't posted until Friday.
*breath of relief*
I passed!
Now when I look back on the situation I see God's provision. He wants me to be a good steward of everything that He has given me so why would He allow my effort and His money to be wasted? I know that all situations do not turn out this way but I see it as a clear confirmation that He wants me to keep pursuing a career in nursing. Next semester starts right away and I want to do my best for His glory at both work and school.
It feels good to be given a chance to begin fresh this semester. I praise God for His trustworthiness and faithfulness throughout my life, especially in the difficult waiting times. It's true that "The LORD is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." - Psalms 28:7
