Another Path
A different path, we each must take
to find God's path and reconcile for
Adam and Eve's mistake.
I've cried wolf,-I would be alone,
Apart from those that I called my second home.
I came back, but life spoke in a more ominous tone.
I cried wolf, but now it's true that I might not see you again.
So here I am, a man apart, a fork in the road and without those I treasure.
I now have a different path more complicated than the last,
Only time will tell if I can get everything done, and how fast.
If I could only walk the path before, I would.
-without so many more cares
with familiar friends
serving the Lord
But I know I can't be there now,
there's no turning back this year
I have confidence I will see them again
God calms my fears.
Last summer, I had said that I would be leaving the college where I was due to complication. I returned thanks to God's prolonging my departure, and stayed another year. My friendships with others and involvement with different organizations and ministries took my mind off the hardship of time constraints most the time; but I knew close to the end of the year that time was catching up to me. I couldn't get into the nursing program there because of too many complication to mention, and financing was just as pressing an issue as nursing.
To all those that read and shake their heads in disdain, I have a couple things to say, nothing bad of course. I've never been involved in a hospital, none of my relatives have been involved in patient health care, at least none of the relatives my family and I have decent contact with. Given all that, I have to live with finding out information on a day by day basis. I'm behind schedule and further behind than anyone I know that has ever mentioned going into a health care field to me. Given all that, it's just too much to expect getting myself through the nursing program at the college I was going to. Time was against me and I had more burdens than I could take trying as hard as I was.
-To Those I've Left Behind-
To those that know me, I'm sorrowful that I have to travel this road apart from you; I REALLY wish I could be with you in all those times you have fellowship with God. I'm pained deeply. I love you all with an agape' love; I hope that you all find your own way closer to God, whether you like the path or not.-Believe me, God will fill your life in any way you need! I wish I could be there to give another message during Wednesday worship gatherings. There are four things I want everyone to know: -There is a God; -God is an active God; -God is love; -God has a plan for your life.
If you already know that SHARE IT WITH OTHERS FOR JESUS'S SAKE!
-Looking Ahead, Just not Far-
So I have this lack of experience, what to do?
-I'm starting on the "ground floor" as a volunteer in ER during the weekends, I clock 15 hours a week and am proud to say so because I love helping. One of my goals during the summer was to get a crash coarse in hospital experience.-I wanted to experience the most stressful environment a hospital could dish out, and on some days, I got just that. I've been a volunteer since mid July(vacation time to relatives preceded).
In terms of finances, I was going for Air National Guard...
-I was interested in military service for four reasons: Finance, Income, Discipline, Experience(or History). Without a lecture on my grandpa, I'll just say the IRS and government don't like my family, so a history of service would look good on my record. Turns out though, that it isn't as easy as signing some papers. The military doesn't take novice athletes, thus a liking to kids right out of High School- fit, untrained, flexible. I'm nearly six years out of High School, trained civilly, almost set in my ways, and not as flexible. They ask what the constitution is and I'll give them an answer, stealing thunder is a bad representation. It's taken me all summer to get some support so I can concentrate on the ASVAB. I HAVE TO make at least a 45(made 17 in HS, didn't care then). I'm taking the ASVAB again tomorrow(Thurs8/31), I also have to get in shape in one month for military entrance Physical Survey..or something(MEPS). Like thirty pounds in shape; not easy in one month!
If all goes well: ASVAB, MEPS, Certified Nursing Asst., job, Basic military Training, job, then possibly back for more schooling after experience. That's the plan, I don't want to even think about what would happen if I fail to meet all those expectations though. I suppose it won't be any worse than failing to make it into the nursing program at my last college.
I hope all are well, you can still contact me, I just won't be able to talk face to face... Open invitation. God bless you all!
