I start school in 1 week from today. It's just an English class but it's important because it applies to the programs I have applied for. When I took the placement test I was totally blown away by my scores. I'm not sure how you make a 101 on something....but I did. All of my scores were really good. It's always nice to do so well, especially being out of high school for 7 years :) So I've now applied to Sonography as my first choice and Radiography as my second, both for fall of 2011. I have 1 more test to do before I have completed the application process but I'm waiting on some money to come in because I have to pay for it.
I really hope that I get into sonography because it's really been on my heart the past year or so to help young women, no matter what the circumstance. Working at a crisis pregnancy center has been on my heart for awhile also, as well as after gaining a lot of experience in a place like that, to be able to take those skills to the mission field and help young women who are expecting and help them make the most of their pregnancy and monitor their progress and keep their babies healthy.
I would love to have a degree in both for the sake of the mission field so that I wouldn't be bound to only pregnancies but also be able to help in many areas of peoples health.
This is the first time I have voiced all of this but it has been heavy on my heart for nearly a year. I want to learn all I can, to help as many people as I can. It would be pointless for me to have a degree and have a lot of knowledge and only use it to gain money. I want to have a servants heart with my knowledge and do something with it to help people who genuinely need help. How cool would it be to go help Ms. Amick in Honduras, in her medical clinic? I haven't seen her since high school but I'm thankful for the hard work she has put in there. It would be so cool to go there and live there and get into peoples lives and help them medically and see them trust Christ with their lives and with their health!!
I get so excited about things like that. It doesn't have to be Honduras. I just want to be used, somewhere, to help people, especially young women. My heart is totally there. I wish I didn't have to wait to finish school because I'm impatient and want it all to happen now. But I have to wait, and get educated with it all, and put everything I have into it, and do my best FIRST, and then I will be rewarded with being able to get into peoples lives and help them!
May the Lord bless and keep me where He wants me and may I be used solely to please Him. I want my Father happy with me.
