eek.

Well, my vacation is over. I'm starting my Masters in Nursing next week. Next Tuesday to be exact. Let's put it this way, say goodbye to me for the next 3 years basically. If grad school is anything like getting my BSN, then I'm in for the long haul. Because I'm working full time as a Registered Nurse, I'm going to school part time, so it will take me 3 years instead of the normal 5 semesters for this specific track, which I am proud of by the way... Certified Nurse Midwife/ Family Nurse Practitioner.
Sounds fun, eh? It will be. A friend of mine delivered 17 babies while in the same program... that in itself inspires the heck out of me.
However, while I am chomping at the bit to deliver a slippery little baby, I'm also terrified at what the stress will do to me. The first time through nursing school I wanted a divorce on more that one occasion... will that happen again? I pray to God that it won't. I think Jeremy and I have really developed our relationship over the past 8 months thanks to me being pretty much stress-free with only work to deal with. Hopefully that understanding between us will last for the next 3 years...
So, if you're reading this, please pray for me as I start this journey. I know I will meet friends that will last a lifetime, and have experiences that will travel even further, it just stresses me out to begin.
Thanks for listening.
Lord, into Your perfect, stress-free love, Deliver Me.
