On Unemployment and Persistent Prayer

This is me on my second graduation day this past December! I am really, really proud. Nursing school was hard. I didn't sleep very much! I cried and I whined! And Mom had to listen to me on the phone whine about why my life was so had (oh the drama)! And it was finally over without any embarrassing failures, and I have a degree that will allow me to do what I most want to do which is to help others.

On the way to the coliseum for the very long and boring graduation ceremony. It was raining really hard that day.

Me with my proud parents.

This picture was taken the night before graduation at the School of Nursing pinning ceremony. Faybaby came as a surprise to pin me!

It was really special for her to be there for my pinning. I am the first granddaughter to take after her and become a nurse. She is one of my favorite people in the world, and I know that she doesn't like to leave her house, so I was happy that she was there!

Okay, now to get to the point of the post. All of those proud pictures and hard work paid off and I got my diploma. BUT, I have to pass the state boards and I need a prospective employer. I am loving my life out here with very few responsibilities, but I am afraid that I am forgetting all of that nursing knowledge I worked so hard for. And, I really want to connect with people. I loved my time at St. Jude's Research Hospital, and I would love to have a job like that out here. I know that that is a long stretch, but I will take almost any nursing job in the meantime. God sets aside seasons in life, and I am in love with where I am right now! I would just really enjoy the chance to start my nursing career and to help others. So, I am continuing to pray for the right doors to be opened (and that I can have the perfect schedule). So, if you have time to remember me in your prayers for a job, that would be much appreciated. I miss all of you and I hope that you are all doing well! It is almost summer!
