Did I ever tell you about the day I saw a ghost? A real live ghost?
No? Okay, I'll tell you.
My girlfriend (henceforth referred to as Princess) text me and tells me she needs a ride home from work. It's only like 2 minutes from my house so no big deal, we'll get to hangout after.
For the fun of it my Brother and my brother's girlfriend (henceforth referred to as Girlfriend) decide to go with me to pick up Princess.
When we get there we find out that the reason she needs a ride is because she had a flat tire. My Brother being the strapping young man he is decided that we could change the tire for her. Princess gets her keys out to open the trunk to get the spare tire out and the trunk doesn't open. Brother tries to open it. I try. Girlfriend tries. It does not open. Somehow we decide that she must have the valet key. And that we must go back to Princess's house to get the real key.
We drive the 2 minutes to her house. And then back to her car.
We try and open the trunk. And fail.
My Brother's friend (henceforth referred to as Friend) shows up to help.
Stuff happens, blah, blah, we get dessert, we drive back to Princess's house again.
Finally we get the trunk open, get the spare out, find the jack. Try to jack up the car, and it rolls back and makes a loud noise. The loud noise attracts a dude who offers to help us. He says he has a nicer jack in his car. He walks back to his car to get it and comes back to change the tire.
But I have to go to the bathroom!!! Like now. So I leave to go into the store. When I left the dude was sitting on the ground starting to change the tire and Brother, Princess, Girlfriend, and Friend are watching.
When I get back, they are all standing around looking for me.
Brother: Where were you?
Me: In the bathroom. Did you change the tire already? That was fast.
Brother: No, I turned around for a second, and that dude was gone.
Friend: Yep.
Me: Did he change the tire?
Brother: No.
Princess: Ugh!!!
Me: What?
Brother: Yeah, he just left, and took his jack with him.
Me: It must have been a ghost. An angel would have changed the tire.
And that is the story of when I saw a real life ghost. It was pretty intense. We did eventually get the tire changed though.

I Need To Relax
Just took a bath.
Trying to relax.
It's hard to relax when the teacher didn't post the grade yet.... Okay, well, I know what grade I got in the class (a great grade!!) but she didn't post it in the appropriate place yet.
It's also hard to relax when I keep thinking how much I need to relax, because after this break, there will be no more breaks. I'm graduating nursing school in May, and then I have to get a real job.
I told you I was a tad bit crazy right?
So I'm going to go work on my photo album that I'm making for my missions trip to the South Dakota Indian Reservation I went on a year and a half ago.
Anddd I need some extra cash to go to the nursing conference this semester, so if you know me personally, hit me up to babysit. Think of it as an investment in my future.
What else can I do to relax?
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of rightousness for his name sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." Psalm 23
UPDATE 12/28/11 1355: The grade is posted!!! Now all I have to worry about is how this is my last break before becoming a real adult.

Christmas Eve!
It's Christmas Eve!!!
Starting to get excited.

Home for the holidays!
"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23

Slow Learner
I think I might have already forgotten the lesson I learned this morning....
(See previous post.)
"O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me." Psalm 25:2
(See previous post.)
"O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me." Psalm 25:2
Trust Issues
Have you ever thought about whether you really trust God?
Yeah, you hear in church that you have to trust Him. But do you really? Do I really?
I think it takes baby steps. Learning to trust God not just as a whole, like you trust all chairs to hold you up, but in individual instances, in different everyday circumstances, is what I need to work on.
Of course I trust to to protect me (Psalm 18:2), make my path straight (Isaiah 45:2), and that he has a plan (Psalm 37:5). But do I trust him in the little things?
No matter what? "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him," Job 13:15.
When I'm afraid do I trust Him? "What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee," Psalm 56:3.
I think I'm learning.
Today I'm singing this song:

Today I'm singing this song:
'Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to take Him at His Word
Just to rest upon His promise
Just to know, "Thus saith the Lord"
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him
How I've proved Him o're and o're
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus
O for grace to trust Him more
O how sweet to trust in Jesus
Just to trust His cleansing blood
And in simple faith to plunge me
'Neath the healing cleansing flood
Yes, 'tis sweet to trust in Jesus
Just from sin and self to cease
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace
I'm so glad I learned to trust Thee
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend
And I know that Thou art with me
Wilt me with me to the end
Two finals down, two to go. 152 days until graduation!!!

We'll Take A Look
Do you know these lyrics?
"And so what we have learned applies to our lives today, and God has a lot to say in His Book. You see, we know that God's Word is for everyone; and now that our song is done, we'll take a look."
Think about it for a minute.
Do you remember where it's from?
Veggie Tales!!!
These are a few of the things I learned this week:
1) I need to watch my mouth.
"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." Psalm 19:14
"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man." Colossians 4:6
2) I am still a sinner.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 3:23
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." Isaiah 53:6
[It seems to me that a lot of Christians walk around like they aren't sinners, or that they don't sin. Sin is committed with things you think about (Matthew 5:28), things you do that you shouldn't do, and things you should do that you don't do (Exodus 20). If you only count the last one, not reading your Bible is sin. Say you only sinned 3 times a day, that's more than a 1000 in a year, and by age 22 that's 22,000 sins. But I bet I sin more than just 3 times a day. I'm beginning to realize that I am not perfect and I need Jesus everyday to save me from myself.]
3) I'm forgiven.
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrightousness." 1 John 1:9
It's been a good week.
ATI Pediatric exam tomorrow. Presentation on Tuesday. Then Finals next week.

Me, A HCP?
Signed up for a CPR class yesterday. It's CPR for Health Care Providers.
Health Care Providers.
I don't think of myself as a Health Care Provider. Yet here I am taking my second Health Care Provider CPR class.
Two years ago when I had to take CPR for Health Care Providers, it was before I started nursing school, I didn't see myself as a Health Care Provider. But now, two years later, I still don't feel like a Health Care Provider.
I wonder when I will feel that way. It's got to be soon right?
Apparently CPR has changed a lot in two years, I hope the learning curve isn't too big.
Haha, joke.
Today was my last MedSurg 3 clinical. I feel like I learned a lot in this clinical. It might have been the best clinical ever. It's sort of the end of another era, done with number 3 of 3 MedSurg clinicals.
The teacher made me laugh so hard today. The other student said that the patient was dressing. The teacher said: "Dressing? Patients don't get dressed. He isn't a turkey. He is getting changed."
I'm looking forward to the end of the semester.
It's time to start praying for next semester already. Specifically for my preceptorship and my preceptor. Then pray for a job.
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Psalm 119:105
