I began thinking about waves in my life - good waves, scary waves, new waves, familiar waves. I don't always greet each change in life with a bounding leap of excitement, welcoming more. Often times I want to run the other way. Specifically, I think about nursing and how incredibly scary it is for me to think about being responsible for patients' lives. It seems easier to run the other way. I would rather not start my second semester next week (out of four). But, I've made it through one. Each wave survived makes the next not quite as bad. So next week I am going to try to be like Emma, and leap into the semester with joy, ready for what is to come.
Thank you Emma for your simple mind. And for your joy.
"One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13-14
