Impossible....

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard 

Impossible is not a word 

It’s just a reason for someone not to try 

Everybody’s scared to death 

When they decide to take that step 

Out on the water 

It’ll be alright 

Life is so much more 

Than what your eyes are seeing 

You will find your way 

If you keep believing 

-What Faith Can Do [Kutless]

It's funny the things that hold us back, a simple 10 letter word....IMPOSSIBLE. How many times does this word stop us from doing what we really want/need to do? How many times have you heard "Oh my gosh, I can't do that, that'd be impossible!" 

I've come to the conclusion that I am my biggest obstacle. So many times what's holding me back, is me! I recently took my State Board Practical and my NET (Nursing Entrance Test) both of which where pretty easy, but of course 1-2 weeks before I was panicking and freaking out because I didn't think I'd be able to pass them, even though I KNOW the stuff. Its funny how we can hype ourselves up so much to the point where we think we can't do anything. A lot of times we do that because we're relying on our own strength to get us through....but when we stop and breath we realize it's all going to be ok. Like in the lyrics posted above, it says "Life is so much more than what your eyes are seeing" and it's so true! Sometimes God just asks us to step out in faith, sometimes we can't see the end results and it may seem like a stupid or impossible idea, but if we just realize that God knows what he's doing, then it'll all work out! 

(BTW: I received the results for my NET, I got a 91 in the Math and a 73 in Reading [I just needed at least a 54 in each to apply for Nursing school] my State Board Practical I have not gotten the results back yet but am pretty sure I passed :]) 

Well everyone has been wanting to see a picture of my dog Zoey, so here she is:

L-R: Sarah (Friend from church), Zoey, and Abbi (sister)

Well I'm still on the hunt for a job..so far I've filled out 10 different applications for 15 different positions, and tomorrow I'm going back out looking again. Something is bound to turn up :)

Until next time...

Be Strong in the Lord....

Love these lyrics:


Be strong in the Lord and,
Never give up hope,

You're going to do great things,

I already know,

God's got His hand on you so,

Don't live life in fear,

Forgive and forget,

But don't forget why you're here,

Take your time and pray,

These are the words I would say.

Hello blog world :)

It's time to update again! I took my Nursing Entrance Test the other day, something I was really nervous about taking...I had to pass my math and reading sections with at least a 57....yeah I nailed it...got a 91 in math and 73 in reading. My admissions person said I had a really good chance of getting into the RN program that starts July 19th....but I think she tells everyone that ;) I feel pretty good about it all though...I did really well on the NET and next Wed. I have my interview with the Nursing Program Director! 

I'm still on the search for another job...I've applied many different places....and I finally got a call back from Baskin Robbins, which I'm pretty excited about :) I would really like a job at a hospital (preferably an ER..) but not sure that's going to happen....Movie Gallery has been pretty exciting....NOT...it's been so slow ever since people found out we're closing....none of us really know what we're doing because we really haven't been told anything other than "your store is closing"....we haven't received any of our paperwork or sign-age, so there really isn't much for us to do except answer questions people have...like "are you still closing?" or "why is your store closing?: or "where am I supposed to rent my movies now?!" or my personal favorite:

Customer: "i know the sign on your door says you're closing, are you really closing?"

Me: "yes, we're closing"

Customer: "I also noticed it says you aren't getting Avatar, are you really not getting it?"

Me: "No, I am sorry we're not getting it"

Customer: "You're not getting it at all?!?!"

good times....

Well nothing else exciting has happend....I really need to get to cleaning my room so that's what I'll be doing for the rest of the night :)

Good night world!
