Trials and Prayers

After high school I wanted to go to college. I knew I could but didn’t have support or money to go when I was young. I did pray and expected that prayer to be answered that I would be able to do it. Instead, I had a family. Somewhere in the time that I had children I wanted to go to college, but circumstances were not favorable. When I got divorced I again thought of going to school and again circumstances dictated otherwise. Finally after I thought my family was complete with 4 children and a grandchild. I went back to school. I think back to all those times when I desired to do this knowing that it would be good for me to do and would help me, but never seeming to be in the position for that to be fulfilled and how defeated I felt. In the end those prayers were answered in the Lord’s time, but more than that. I had to be ready, I had to be humbled enough to appreciate the full value of what I was doing. Learning in some aspects came very easily for me, I had to learn that the growth was in the challenge of doing it with an already full plate. Essentially taking everything in stride the good the bad the ugly and turning that mess into a degree. I wanted to get a bachelors of science in Nursing degree, however, I had my 5th child so I couldn’t commit to that level of work, but I did end up with a degree in health and nutrition which helped me when I had the failure to thrive diagnosis with my little tiny baby girl. So in the end it all works out, even if it isn’t quite like we pictured it, it still works out.
