My New Favorite Song

“What Faith Can Do”

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don’t have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That’s what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

An Inspiration to Us All!!!

“Kimberly Munley does not look as if she would be much of a match for a heavily armed US soldier on a murderous rampage. But the slightly built 34-year-old civilian officer was first on the scene” = Inspiration!!

Wow!

I haven’t been updating this lately!!

I guess the biggest news right now is that I’m graduating from nursing school six weeks from tomorrow! Almost through!

Four days after that, I will fly to North Carolina to spend Christmas with my best friend, Codie
Right after Christmas I’ll join her and some others to go on a trip to New York City for an outreach.
Verry exciting!!

A Quote

The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confus, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But if you have a spare called Determine, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to the place called Success.

Tonight!!

is the first performance of the Pilgrim’s Progress Play!! How exciting!

Even tho the weather isn’t exactly what we hoped it would be, and lots of things have been changed around, I’m expecting for it to go very well and that in it CHRIST would be glorified through it!

Praying that the children would remember all their lines and would act well. I hope this evening will prove a successful end to all their work this past year.

“With thousands of doctors, nurses, and administrators, the Memorial Hermann Healthcare System depends on the latest mobile technologies to streamline its services and deliver better patient care. iPhone and state-of-the-art medical apps like AirStrip OB let Memorial Hermann physicians keep their fingers on patients’ pulses even when they can’t be at their bedsides.”

When I Grow Up, I Wanna Be…

an ER nurse!!!!

I didn’t go into nursing school wanting to work in the ER and definitely wasn’t too excited about giving shots or doing IVs. I was quite nervous about them, in fact. My whole class knew that, but one friend has been talking to me about being an ER nurse or a flight nurse… Eventually I found that I really would enjoy that. Now, ten months after starting nursing school, I am no longer afraid of doing shots (psh, that’s nothing!!) and IVs (i wouldn’t say they’re nothing, but I’m not at all intimidated by them any more) and I would SOOOO LOVE to be an ER nurse! It’s amazing how hands-on activity can change one’s perception so much! (Oh, and I watched a Total Knee Replacement surgery without fainting a while back!)

This week my friend drug me in to watch a PICC line placed (I still don’t think they are “cool”); I had part of an ER rotation in which I did 5 IVs (shhh). Quite the excitement! And I loved all the minutes of it that I wasn’t being yelled at – across the halls at that.

Seven more weeks of nursing school!

I’m excited to see how this year finishes out. What everyone does. Where everyone goes. I can’t wait to see what happens in the Dominican. I’m excited!

It’s Been a Long Week…

And it’s only Wednesday…

Weekend…

I’m tired of school. I’m just plain tired.

BUT because mom and dad were gone this weekend so I had to spend time with my brother. Last night when we were watching his movie, I fell asleep three times during the first part & then missed the entire last half of the movie.

He finished his mow job this morning, but then had the afternoon free. We grabbed my camera and did an impromptu/candid photo shoot outside because it was such a beautiful day!!

Later we watched a movie and then went to town to get some hamburger buns for our sirloin burgers we were gonna make. We also grabbed a couple Moon Pies to eat together later.

We had fun today. Everyone needs a day to relax and chill and refocus. I’m still tired of school, but it’s almost over. I need a total change; I need to move on; I need to refocus!! Post graduation, Dominican Republic, here I come!!
