2 Timothy 4:7-8 (New International Version)
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
today is a day to remember not only for me but also for 28,924 new nurses. the much awaited december 2007 nursing licensure exam results came out today and i passed! woohoo. RN na ako. i'm still on cloud nine and couldn't believe on how good and faithful God is. very few friends didn't make it but i know that in God's perfect time they will. i passed with my three closest friends (power of four kami) from school. passing with one of us not making it would really be heartbreaking. we have always prayed for our success and that all four of us make it. and we sure did.
A lot of days leading to today, i felt like i might not make it. i was super scared of failing and just the thought of it made me cry. i have given up a lot of things career wise just to stay in nursing school. having passed the licensure exams is a confirmation from God that this is HIS plan for me. In the process of waiting He has taught me a valuable lesson. That i have to trust Him because He will never fail me. He who began a good work is truly faithful to complete it. i have a few more exams to take and decisions to make in terms of what i am to do next but i know that God is with me and will continually guide me.
Right now my heart is just overflowing with joy and thanksgiving to God, my family, relatives and friends. my pasaway cousins who'ld always cheer me up and tell me i will make it during the times i felt i wouldn't. People believed in me even when i had doubts with myself. to everyone who remembered me in prayers and shared comforting words (esp to blogger, wordpress and multipy friends), maraming salamat. to the sta catalina bible study group who served as my prayer warriors, we have again proven that God hears our prayers. my thank you's will never be enough to thank all of you. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior has again proven that He loves me. Happiness abounds!
Maria Carmela Tuano Diaz, RN iloveit! dad, i handa na ang lechon.
PS: to the dean of a very well known university here in the philippines who said "may isa pa lang akong aabangan kung papasa sa boards" after learning i study at PCHS. that said incident happened more than a year ago but i still remember it. in your face madam--i passed. my school might not be like your beloved university, our president might be in a middle of a mess right now but i passed and who cares i graduated from PCHS. that surely does not make me less of a nurse.
