Here's an example of my last detour. In the summer of 2003 I graduated from a community college and got an Associates Degree in Applied Sciene in Microcomputer Technology. That spring and summer I spent searching for a job. None were available. I was growing despondent, agaitated, impatient and depressed that I couldn't find a job that I wanted.
While pawing through the want ads through the paper and on the internet, I noticed that there were tons of jobs avaible for nurses. In fact they seem desperate for them. So I thought...hmmmm, perhaps I should become a nurse? I talked it over with my parents and they thought it would be a great idea! So I went searching for a right college. This was trial in itself. I had heck of a time finding one, but I found the perfect one. It just felt right, like God was telling me my search was over! I knew then, this was my calling.
I always envision myself design websites for some company, and being content making a pretty good pay. God had a different plan for me. The detour I went on was rough, and I was whining about it the whole way before I realized that this was God's intent for me. I'm very happy where I am now. The more I learn about nursing, the more I think, wow! God really knows whats best for me. I feel like he is working through me and just giving me the strength to go on. I confess I'm a very lazy person, and the nurse curriculum to get good grades is trying, but I've changed since 2003. I'm not so lazy, and well I'm very excited!!
I can't wait what else God plans for me, and if I go on another detour, no matter how much I don't like it, in the end it will be better than I expected!
I'm so happy God goes on the road for me and uses me!! Praise the Lord!!! I love you God! I love you Jesus!!! heart heart
But if you listen closely, it's calling for you...
