And It Happened for a Reason...

Good morning beloved Father!!!

Here I am to worship YOU! Thank you God for your Love, your truth your mercy and your timing! My heart is blessed to know that you love me so much to keep you. That you move the heavens and earth to love me. And that you are my Rock and Revelation giver. I love you!

So as you already know, I didn't pass my NCLEX test. So where does that put me? In the heartbeat of trust! Trusting you. The very first few moments of seeing that Big Red Closed sign really caused my heart pain. Felt like a slap in the face. But then even your love cause so many people that I love and cherish to circle around me and encourage me with your love! So I thank you and it was for that very reason that I was able to accept what you shared with me yesterday.

As I was driving home from dropping Nay off in Canton after mom's graduation you put me into a mind of hearing your voice- and you said this "Did you take time to praise me for your graduation before you tried to jump into the next big blessing of licensure?"... Boom. And in that moment Lord I knew that i'd missed the mark. As any other nursing graduate who wanted to be license, as soon as graduation was over I was already preparing to take the NCLEX. I studied day after day, tirelessly. To the point where I would get headaches and upset stomachs. I threw myself into mental bondage for the sake of a test that was always in your hands.

Now father I understand a bit clearer. Please forgive me. But now.... being on the other side, I want to thank you with All that I have within me!!!! We graduated from nursing school :) O what a joy to know that you were with me ALL the way! Thank you for those that have supported me this entire way- which reminds me, I have to get cards out!

I love you Lord, and I appreciated every wonderful and pleasant gift! My life is yours and I am enthralled by your grace! Thank you for loving me... I need you more than anything to lead and guide me as you always have and always will. But I want you to know, my father, my very best friend, that I praise you as a new graduate nurse! 7 years completed! No longer will I say 'Moving on to the next thing', rather now I shall say 'Taking a praise break'! Thanks dad :)
