we continually remember before our God and Father your work
produced by faith, your labor prompted by love, and your endurance
inspired by hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
-- 1 Thessalonians 1:3
i get a verse sent to me everyday through email and this one i held onto for the last couple of days. as many of you may know, i recently finished nursing school and even more recent i took the NCLEX- the main determinant of receiving my nursing license. i can't even explain the relief i felt yesterday when i checked my email, heart pounding and read the word "passed". its funny how such a few simple letters creating a one syllable word can be so significant and represent so much work, so many long nights consisting of studying and writing care plans, etc etc... 16 months full. i am overwhelmed with relief and happiness, i feel like i could burst. with this verse i reflect back on a long 16 months, a work produced by faith, a labor prompted by love, and my endurance inspired by faith...my cup runneth over (yes i forgot to mention in my bio that i am cheeeeesy!)
