Perfidious

No, this blog will not be about "deliberately faithless, treacherous and deceitful" things (according to its definition from my handy dandy dictionary), but because it is a new word that I learned yesterday because I READ. Yup, I read the LA Times while doing my laundry and an article in the Opinion section used this adjective for Michael Moore. I thought it sounded cool, so I put it in my phone's notes section so I could look up the definition later.

However, this blog will contain a plethora of things. Starting now:

I love how I sound when I write anything on the Internet, whether it be in my blog or in a networking site. I sound more NERD than I actually am. That goes to show you that you can't believe everything that you read online.

(I will alternate alignments for my different thoughts because I think it will help differentiate between my thoughts because all of you can't read my mind. Also, it looks cool.)

The career battle wages on in my head. It's not Medicine vs. Nursing, but a new conflict between Nursing and Nutrition/Dietetics. My mom will probably freak about another major switch, but hey! That was the purpose of me volunteering this summer: to learn if I really want to become a nurse. A registered dietician works in the Nursing Station that I'm at this summer, and what she does looks pretty interesting. She's mostly on the computer and she gets to wear a white lab coat. White lab coats and I became friends this year, especially during General Chemistry lab. When Nikki and I first wore them for our labs, we were like, "Yup, this is us in ten years!" Things have changed though. But anyways. Nursing is winning though. And it probably will win at the end. Some nurses (Nurse Practitioners) have the ability to diagnose, which is something I really want to do. But first, I'll have to work as a RN before I can work on receiving my MSN to become a NP or be part of Nurse Administration (abbreviations rock!), and I feel that Nursing will be a humbling experience for me. Which is a MUST. Also, it will be a lifetime of service. According to Jeremy, a lifetime of service is the greatest investment and I'm not going to debate with him there (maybe about the -est part). When Jesus was on Earth, He was not waited upon, but waited on others. He lived a life of service for God, for others, and even for us now. You never know though. So this is another thing I will keep in my prayers.


Isaiah 65:24
"And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear."
Matthew 6:8
"Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

During one of our Just Ask! Bible studies, we went over with prayer and Mike told us that God answers our prayers even before we are done with them. I was having devotion one day, and I went over Genesis 24. I guess we didn't really go over those verses in the study because I was like "WHOA! That's what Mike was talking about and that's what those verses were talking about!" because the story of Abraham's servant and how he met Rebekah is a total example of that. I just checked my notes right now and it says that it was given as an example during the study for that point. I don't remember that (sorry Mike) so I was like whoaaa.

I think I disclosed a little too much in my Saltatlas testimony section and my MySpace about me section. Here is what I wrote:

By reading my Interest section, one might wonder about that. I know a few may even doubt it. But honestly, I am trying to be real. In this new relationship, I am trying my best to do my part for He has done His part already. But I'm not perfect; I'm not doing the best job. I go through struggles constantly ranging from missing devotions and prayers to controlling thoughts. I am learning, I am reading, I am changing. Slowly but surely. God is working in me. There are many times when I freak out, but one of the things I'm really trying to do is to put my life in His hands for He has a plan for me. Jeremiah 29:11.

Self-disclosure once again! Oh well. If you didn't want to know about that, you should have stopped reading =P



I forgot what else I wanted to write about, so au revoir for now!
