First Happy New Year to everyone!! So as I am sitting here after my 12 hr shift eating my Lucky Charms I would like to reflect on 2010 and how it was such a huge year in my life....I had many life altering. First off I passed, and graduated from nursing school, got married, started my dream career, and got my license and became not just Dara Crouch, but Dara Davies, RN....yeah I really should take care of that.....I am such a procrastinator. It was a big year. I never thought I would be able to do it all....at the time I didn't think it was possible for me to still be sane by time I finished all of it. But if there is anything I learned this year it's that anything is possible with God by your side. I am not saying it was easy....or it wasn't stressful......because all of the above was hard and stressful. But in the end all of it was worth it. I also learned what the true meaning of a friend is. I have learned that I am not perfect, despite CSU's school of nursing teaching me that I should be. I have learned that marriage is work. People tell you it is but its one of those things that you dont really understand till you have been there. I hope that this year will bring much happiness and learning opportunities.
So my next goal was to delivery the first baby of the New Year at our hospital....well I got beat....but thats ok.
So to reveal my second goal is to be closer to the Lord. When I was finishing up my last semester in college I all of a sudden started failing....talk about being scared....I was terrified. It just would have ruined everything....I ad to pass. I learned that I was trying to take control of everything going on...school, work, the weeding, money, everything. I had to learn to surrender my control and give it the Lord. I knew I wouldn't make it if it didn't. I became in tune with my relationship with God to the point where it was almost like I could hear him keep reminding me to let him take control. Funny thing is when I did it all turned around. Imagine that. Anyways my point is, I think so often as christians we only surrender control when something goes wrong, when we need something, etc. I have since drawn farther and farther away from that relationship and I want it back. I used to be real good about praying and reading my bible but now that my life has picked up with work and everything I have just not been doing it. I miss it and hope to get better at it. Forget exercising!!!
My third goal is a joint one between Eric and I. We want to buy our dream home!!! We tried to make it happen sooner but it just wasn't working out and I was not willing to live on beanie weenies and PBJ for 6 months to make it happen either. But I can tell you that in side our head......we already bought it. We decided together that we were ok with waiting so we are going to save, and pray and try to make it happen this year....it's going to happen.
