Have you ever thought to yourself that it's impossible to achieve your goals in life? How many steps do you think you still need for you to be able to make it come true? Are you also anxious like me, thinking CAN I STILL REALLY MAKE IT?
These are my thoughts right now as I am typing because I don't always believe in myself. I only TRUST GOD when ever I make some huge decisions in my life. I'm making this blog to give myself a break from my daily routine, and also to express my thoughts and feelings out. Perhaps, the fear inside me has set in - fear of taking a big step in the near future.
I am already a nurse but I haven't practiced my profession yet,due to the countless hardships along the way that I had to deal with even before I passed the board exam in 2008. Imagine, I graduated a long time ago, and yet I am still currently in the process for this dream profession to make it happen.
There was oversupply of nurses back then, but I still tried to apply from different hospitals with hopes of my fortune. However, the chance was too slim for me to get hired, as every student had the same goals as mine for sure. And not only that, they were certainly more determined, too competent and more career-driven due to the trend over this path.
The more years had passed, the less confidence I had in me, as I thought I had forgotten the things I learned back in college.
Last 2016, I finally had the courage and hope to continue the "dream" that seemed to be completely wiped away through the test of time. I was fortunate and blessed that in the states where my family lives now, doesn't ask for a lot of requirements from those people who would want to become a nurse, even from those who graduated several years ago and who haven't had work experience in this field yet.
Little by little, I was trying the best that I could to gather all the necessary documents from the Philippines at my own pace. It took a year for everything to get done so while waiting, I started getting back on track - reading just one textbook by heart because this is the only one I got. I depend on my review materials and everything else on the internet.
These and all other challenges that I may face in the future won't let me stop chasing my passion not only to care for people who need an assistance and "love" as a human being while trying to recover from their certain illnesses, but also to be used as an instrument by our Heavenly Father, who gave me this sense of purpose in life.
We may be seemed too old and too late in fulfilling our dreams, but never should we ever give up.
So, I humbly ask from those who would be able to come across this blog of mine, to include me in your prayers to make my dream come true this year, as I very much believe in the power of a prayer. If it doesn't happen this year, it's fine. Life must go on, but I won't stop caring for other people I love and care about, the best way I can. I am taking a series of significant but small steps that my loved ones would always accompany me in this journey.
I thank God that He blessed me with a family and people who are willing to support me in chasing my dream. I won't stop for His glory, in Jesus' name.
We make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it. (2 CORINTHIANS 5:9)
Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (MATTHEW 6:33)

Great message. I quit drinkung by cslling it a habit. Never said i was an alcoholic. Words matter. And remimding yourself things daily help.
wow it makes sense..the more we say it, the more we think and encouraged to do it in action. thank you for your inputs, I really appreciate it. :)
Also suggest things for yourself. Like power of suggestion but do it to you. I used these tactics positively towards myself amd it helped. Then it becomes a challenge of do you want to be weak or be strong minded. If you have any ?'s feel free to ask i will help if i can. Good luck godbless
I loved that picture message you shared. Really needed that comfort from God. Thanks for suggestions. ☺ I followed you.
It has already come true. Your just a few more steps away. Just do your best and God will do the rest. Your path has been laid out and He is there with you always.
In Jesus' name. Amen.
