what started it all

I never thought of myself as a blogger. In fact it has only been in the past couple of weeks that I have become interested in blogging at all.

The reason that I am now blogging at all is because of a challenge of a dear friend of mine. This friend who I will later tell you more about asked me to journal my nursing stories.

There have been many times through the years that I have felt like I do this job for simply that, a job but then I remember why I became a nurse and I remember those times as a little girl playing dress up with my brothers... When ever someone would ask what are you going to be when you grow up my response would always be, "I'm going to be a nurse!" So yes I always wanted to be a nurse but it is more than that, I want to use my skills to heal. Not just physically but spiritually as well. I serve my Lord in an often dark world and it is my calling and my duty to reach these people. Most often it isn't even by preaching but by loving and listening.

So back to my friend, in another blog I will share why she has become so interested in my sharing my stories but it was her on a Sunday afternoon in August who begged me to start writing. I am not a writer so I hope you will all forgive me but please keep reading and give feedback. I want to know what people are thinking.
