I'm just feeling so thankful! I found out on Friday that I have been accepted into the BYU nursing program. I am truly humbled. It's such an amazing feeling of comfort and guidance. I'm finally feeling like all my hard work is paying off. These past years have been tough but they have been so worth it. The whole time I was in Success Academy I had to keep telling myself over and over again that it would all be worth it in the end... And it has been thus far! This semester has been even more difficult for me.Chemistry has been up the wazzooo and it has tested me. It is hard to find the balance of school work, social, & spirituality. There have been times where I've felt that I should just be done with Chemisty and give up. There have been countless times where I have felt way too inadequate to ever get into the nursing program. Every time I told someone that I was applying I would start to feel doubt upon doubt and I just wanted to keep it a secret that I was even applying. I had fear for what was going to happen. I have learned:
"The Gospel teaches us to be happy, and have hope instead of fear." Boyd K. Packer.
I was reading President Uchtdorf's General Conference talk from Priesthood session and it really hit me. I love this quote and I think it fits perfectly with the faith that I need to have to continue on in my journey:
"My dear brethren, my dear friends, there will be times when you think you cannot continue on. Trust the Savior and His love. With faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and the power and hope of the restored gospel, you will be able to walk tall and continue on"
I feel like everything has happened for a reason and everything is falling into place. I know there are many more things I need to figure out with my life. But I know that Heavenly Father truly hears and answers our prayers and He will help me.
President Thomas S. Monson said it perfectly in General Conference, and this quote keeps coming back to my mind:
"We truly need Him every hour, whether they be hours of sunshine or of rain. May His promise ever be our watchword: “I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”
I'm excited to continue on in my journey of education both spiritually and intellectually, and become the best nurse and person I can be!
