encourage one another!

As I'm sitting here at work I realized that I had not updated in a month or so. I guess not much has changed and not much is going on since the last post. I'm happy to say that the year is over and I did well in my classes, better then I thought-one more Dean's List to end my college career! I'm still awaiting a reply on internships and I continue to put my trust in God through this entire experience. I know that his plan for me is greater then any plan I might have made myself. I went to graduation because I had friends graduate and I think it's important to encourage them and be there for them on that day of celebration. It was emotional sitting in a stadium full of cheering families and friends and watching as my fellow pirates walked out on to the field cheering and shouting and jumping for joy. I so badly wanted to be apart of that great experience myself, but it was not my turn yet. I know my turn will be amazing. As I sat in the HOT, scorching sun that burned us all I thought to myself, how blessed I am to not be wearing that hot gown and that hot cap and realized that my family would not have been able to sit through 4 hours if not more in that heat...4 years later and they would miss my graduating-so all in all I think it's better that I wait for December, maybe there will be snow instead and we'll be inside :) I then attended ECU's college of nursing graduation that night and it was exciting to see a new chapter unfold in the lives of many of my friends. Many of my friends are now in search for a job. As we all know those are hard to come by these days. A few have them and a lot more don't. My good friend and neighbor just graduated with her B.S.N. and is now searching for a job herself...she has applied to many hospitals and has been rejected from them all. She just recently got an interview-I have been sending quotes of encouragement each day to her until she gets a job...I think in all actuality it may be brightening my outlook on an internship more then her job perspective. I did it to make her feel calmer, when it's helping me see a more positive side! Through all of this experience with me and my friends it has really taught me how much we have to put our faith in Christ. He will never leave us nor forsake us. It's been great and amazing to see what God has done this past semester in my life and the lives of my friends. I think it's important that we take the time out of our day to encourage the ones around us, and hey, you might be surprised at what that encouragement does for you!
