From High School Grad to Wait What's Next?

Summer has hit and with it, the realization that I will be a College Student in a few short days. It's all coming so fast, but I realize that I need to get organized and actually get ready for the onslaught of work. Which means postponing my publishing date for my book. Setting aside other work that will have to wait. I am delighted though at the fact that all of the classes that I will be taking are both beneficial to pursue my degree in Nursing, but also interesting to me.
 For starters I'm taking a class over the Literature of the Trojan war. I looked over the required reading and it was already books that I was planning to delve into anyways. And then the other classes I'm taking are General Psychology and Statistics.
 I decided to take summer classes to jump start my learning, and in the long run, hopefully I can graduate in three years instead of just four. Maybe I will stumble across new adventures along the way, but who knows?

Class of 2014: Graduation

    Wow I just can't believe it. I finally graduated, it's like a breathe of fresh air, yet fear fills me as I anticipate the unknown. The real world. Life filled with college, work and careers. I plan to pursue nursing and I know what I want. But everything that you can plan can still be blown to smithereens. 

     Between online classes, work, color guard and my boyfriend my summer will be packed. Will life fall into a monotonous pace or will a new adventure be waiting for me around the corner. Sometimes I wonder what God has planned for me, but I know that it all will be revealed in due time. Right now I have to focus on the most important thing and make it the most important thing.

       High school has taught me a lot and that I need to be careful about who I trust, what I am involved in and what I focus my mind on. Overall the graduation was everything that I expected and so much more and I can't wait to take on the world. I am planning for the future while living in the present. I have goals and I know that I can accomplish them. But this fear of college still finds a way to creep itself into all of the cracks. 

      So in the long run when you are feeling down Jeremiah 29:11 might help. :)

 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Just Eleanor by Dana Robertson

Just Eleanor

By Dana Robertson

The fairies were perched in the trees

Danger lurked in the depths

The songbirds no longer sang their cheery tune

And one had to always watch their step

Not far from this dreary land a cheery castle gleamed with light

Its halls were always filled with song

Outside of the glimmering castle stood a small abode

It was dwarfed by the large throng

A small family lived in this serf's shack

No longer did they live in the castle bright

This fallen family had lost their prestigious place

Because the old noble had left the light

Now only the mother and her fair daughter lived

Banished to a life of toil

The girl longed to once again be a fair maiden in the courts

No longer forced to work the soil

So she set out to see the castle

Filled with Lords and Ladies for the ball

To her uncle the earl to whom her family was a vassal

The maiden, Eleanor, went to call

Dearest Uncle, will you help us

My mother is dying

What will become of me?

Shall I be left to crying?

My father paid dearly for his crimes

Why should we still suffer in shame?

So your sister has sent me to your castle

To regain fame for our family name

My mother would like me to attend the ball

Since we have done no wrong

To betroth me before she dies is her wish

So I will have somewhere to belong

I have heard your please said the earl

Since you are my sister's daughter I shall show you grace

Some fine knight will want to make you his wife

As soon as he gazes upon your face

Eleanor was taken to the wondrous ball

Her gown shimmered in blue

She danced with her suitors

And several left her a clue

Nobles elegantly bowed

To the fairest of them all

To think that the poor maiden shimmered

And became the Belle of the Ball

This is a poem I wrote for my book "Just Eleanor"

1 Corinthians 13:1-10

New International Version (NIV)

13 If I speak in the tongues^[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ² If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. ³ If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,^[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

⁴ Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵ It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶ Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
⁸ Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰ but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.
