I passed the test!!! Amber
Heya! okay...work words!! School is starting tommorrow and I'm so pumped! This year Jesus and I have been talking and we're going to focus on being a student of the nursing type! No more cramming my life full of stuff...Finally the message has made the transfer from head to heart and then back to my head. Even thinking lately of Lord of the Rings and Steve Nash...like two totally different stories of dedication. People who have spent hours of labor and sacrifice in the name of"__________".
Not that obcession is always a good thing, but focussing can have it's benefits! And I've decided to dedicate myself to today. To right now...the things God has me in. Forget the fairy tale...forget the dream...forget the great goals of achievement. How incredibly romantic would it be if I could be everything God wants me to be for today? What could happen? AHHH! Why not dance today? Why not make that phone call today? Why get off your knees? Where is a better place?
So back to the test. There's this college volleyball team starting and long story short the college wants me to play. I got the schedule. 4 days a week freak out! At first i was so excited and just giddy about playing competitive again. And although this may be quite the minor thing to most people who read this... I love being on competitive teams and just think it's one of the bes things ever! This weekend in Brandon I was set on going to try outs tommorrow and then joining the team...making the time and money sacrifices. But I don't actually really like volleyball that much so I got thinking of why in the world I would want to make these sacrifices and what exactly am I sacrificing it for? Pride stepped in and the answer was obvious. But I truely think that it was a test to see my dedication to what God has called me to. To stop prostituting my life to whatever wanders in and be specific into what God wants me to be. Not just missions...not just nursing...but who I am today.
