That was it......

Two years ago I started a journey.......I walked into St. Luke's College and I decided I wanted to be a nurse.  A nurse.....WOW.  I had no idea what I was stepping into.  I was ready for a paycheck.  A nice, fat paycheck that would cover my bills every month.  Instead I got a purpose.  I have taken care of that 50 year old man that just found out he had terminal cancer and less than 1 month to live.  I held that man's hand hours after that prognosis.  I have taken care of the woman that has no family, no friends, and has nothing to live for, but she still grabs my hand and says thank you for cleaning up her incontinence.  I have taken care of that 20 year old female that just wants to be "normal".  She wants to party, have fun, drink, but her sickle cell won't allow it.  I have spent Friday nights with that girl, walking the halls and discussing what her future looks like.  I have taken care of the human beings that cry out to be loved, but can't find it in this world.  Screw a paycheck....I touch lives everyday that normally are left insignificant and unworthy of attention.  I am telling you right now every human life is valuable and amazing.  God makes no mistakes.........I see proof of that EVERYDAY!
