Ok. So I have had a nagging feeling in my stomach this last semester that maybe nursing isn't exactly the right career for me. Don't get me wrong, I love being in the hospital and working with patients and their families, and I think I would enjoy it for the most part. But I know that my favorite part of working with patients is being able to listen to their stories and make them feel better, even if just by my presence or my interest in their lives. Which has led me to this...
Nursing isn't it for me. I like it, but I think there is a piece that is missing. Which I was struck with this thought (seriously considering it, that is. I have toyed with the idea before...) - I need to go into counseling.
It seems to fit perfectly with what my ideal job would be. If I could do anything, it would be working with kids who were soldiers, in sex trafficking, or affected by war. It would involve therapy, and taking care of them physically, as a lot of kids have been physically hurt, but perhaps the more pressing need is emotional.
I am telling you this because I feel the Lord presenting this to me, and I want to be faithful in prayer in the coming months. I am excited about this possibility for my future. I would appreciate the prayers or the reminders to be faithful in discerning what the Lord is laying in front of me.
Thanks - I can't even begin to tell you how much I have missed each one of you. I am praying for you each specifically tonight and hoping you are well. MISS YOU.
Sarah

I for one think it's awesome that you are taking the time to discern both what you love to do and what you feel God calling you to. You have my full support in whatever you do and I will make sure to pray for you and this decision/path of your life. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers as well.
