Time Is A Crazy Thing

So it's August now. How did that happen? So much has happened over the past two months. I survived my time in the ER. That was a huge accomplishment for me. I saw and did things that I wasn't sure I'd be comfortable doing or seeing. Granted, it took me a long time to really get the feel of it, I did and I really enjoyed it. That's over now and I look forward to clinicals this upcoming semester with hopes that this summer's experience will pay off. All that being said, I can't believe that I am so close to being done with school. I don't feel like I'm old enough to be out in the world with a real job and real responsibilites outside of things related to school. It's a scary yet exciting time and I'm looking forward to how this next year unfolds. For now, I am going to take advantage of the two weeks I have left of summer. Just a quick update.

What's In A Name?

"A Story To Be Told"- I love how everyone's life is a story and everyone is just a small part of God's story. We all have so much we can learn from each other if only we were to spend less time talking and more time listening. This is why I chose this name for my blog.

I find myself at a strange point in life where the things that are unknown outnumber those that are known. Though it is a strange time, it is an exciting time. Camp Timberline has such a big spot in my heart, and now, for the first time in 10 summers, I will not be returning. Instead, I will be working an ER, hoping to gain experience which will be beneficial to my future from a career standpoint. In one year (if all goes well), I will be out of school and hoping to follow God's call on my life. What that is at this point, I am not sure, but I do have some thoughts in the back of my mind.

Two things which I've been thinking about lately:
1. I am a person who struggles with pride, and recently, God has shown me that humility has rewards of it's own. Ultimately, He must become GREATER and I must become LESS. That's awesome!
2. I have come to the realization that I spend far too much time living for the future (counting down the days until something happens that I'm looking forward to). In doing so, I forget the beauty and blessing of every day in between. Each day is a gift and I should live life in anticipation and gratitude for each new day.

I realize that the things I've mentioned in this post are random, but they are things on my mind right now and therefore, I wanted to share them with you.
God Bless!
