Phew Last test at EAC

The Lord is so Good! I passed my Hesi exam this Thursday with score of 890....Hip Hip Hooray! I felt "relief" and "success" instead of an excited emotion. I now am allowed to take my state board exam (aka NCLEX) so thanks for your prayers and words of encouragement as I was studying to take my Hesi. Then excitement came later as I realized that I could text pple I passed!

~Happy Valentine's Day~

You know who is the real lover of my soul? I bet you guessed right, Jesus Christ.

Psalm 62:1-2
My soul finds rest in God alone;
my salvation comes from him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.

I read in Hebrews today about faith. Of course many may know this book contains the famous hall of faith, however, it's full of Jesus' sacrifices and promises for what he's done in my life. I'm so grateful. At the end of chapter 11 it states in verses 39 and 40 "These were all commend for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect."
God has promised something even better for those who are allowing his will to be done in their lives. I've also been taught by obeying his commands, keeping in his love, you are actually submitting to His will even in the small areas of our lives then when comes the bigger decisions you've already been making Christ first you'll know and He'll reveal His will without hesitation. Why didn't the pple like Moses get into the promised land? God knows and he'll bring about His "something better."

Teamwork and Christ's body

It's reality when I go to work and pple who gossip, and demean others - it's a team effort isn't it? The housekeeping is busy and very helpful they usually go about their work without any words of affirmation, or being told to do something from my observation they get their job done. The other pple working with me don't speak much to them. Talk about the lowly pple on this earth. This saddens me. How come we think we are better than them? We would have to clean it up if they didn't so they are part of the team too. 1 Cor. 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. (vs. 25) so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. (vs. 27) Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

Checklists

Don't you feel accomplished when you have a "To-Do-List", or you finish a project, you clean your room, you finish a book? I always do. I finished a book Saturday and whenever I clean my room I get happy and a sense of organization. I am trying to get more organized and look forward to becoming time-wise and it's probably the small decisions I make in the day and a little discipline, practice and patience of course. I finished another short book called "Shopping For Time" and it's practical. I see the principles of "Sitting at Jesus feet" the best way to start your day, "Joining the 5am Club" and counting your time as a blessing & making the most of the time God is allowing you to finish the important things, spending time in a girl-time relationship, or with your family. I've recommended this book to my aunt and my mom is reading it too. However, there's really no fool-proof way to becoming organized over night is there. Just pray and continually seek God first! He will guide and direct you.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5: 6-7 ESV
