God never said that this life would be easy - in fact, he promised that it would not be easy. It's so much easier to relate to sinful lifestyles, envy...jealousy...gossip... than to be an example and connect with friends on a truly deep level if they are unsaved. Likewise, no one ever said that nursing would be easy. Quite the contrary, everyone... everyone told me that the first year especially would be hard - really really hard, and that nurses are notorious for eating their young. I don't know why I thought I would be the exception to both the first and the second of these. I was feeling lost, and hopeless, when I remembered that I'm not living for this world. I'm not living to make friends at work, I'm not living to be a nurse even... I'm living for God, and although it's hard, it's a trial by fire. God makes me stronger every day, he makes me wiser every day, and I know he will not quit - he will finish the good work that he has started in me. I am so thankful for a loving God. I'm thankful for a higher purpose. I'm thankful that I know God and have something after this life that will be better than anything in this world. God, grant me patience, grant me strength. Remind me always that the things of this world are not the answer, and place Godly people in my life. Thank you Lord, Amen.
Love, Sara
