Tah-dah, SCHOOLING!

So, I have recently changed my major from Liberal Studies (to become an Elementary School teacher) to Nursing.

With nursing, I hope to work in either Pediatrics or Neonatal Intensive Care. I had already put 2 complete years of schooling into my teaching, but had felt called to another profession. Nursing has been my choice, and I plan to stick with it. There's only one downside - I have 4 more years of schooling to complete in order to get my Bachelor of Science, Nursing. However, it'll be more than worth it because my pay will be much greater down the road. The only set back 4 more years of schooling puts in my path, is the cost of attendance at CBU. I can go to another school (hopefully CSU Long Beach or CSU Chico) for much, much cheaper. It's exciting to know that a new journey may await me if I transfer to another school, but at the same time, I'm scared of the change. I've had such great community here at CBU, and I wouldn't want to trade it. Though, new is good too. I'm struggling with these thoughts (leaving my little community) and with staying here, I'm taking on much more financial responsibility later in life. I truly am not sure where I am going to go, what I'm going to do, how I will pay for it - but I am sure of one thing, God is in control, has been in control, and will ALWAYS be in control.

The journey He has taken me on thus far has been great, I wouldn't change any of it if I had a choice. Because I am who I am today because of each step I've taken. If you could, please pray for what is before me. I'm excited, nervous, and concerned all at the same time. Whatever I do will ultimately be for His glory, but sometimes that process is not according to our own plans. Pray that I will continue walking in His will, not my own.
