The Nursing Major | Letter to My Freshman Self

Dear Freshman Andrea,

Oh, the journey that awaits you. As you embark on this adventure, remember sometimes the best routes are the scenic ones. Do not seek perfection, seek growth and progress. Be gracious with yourself. God is, so why shouldn’t you be? 

He knew all the imperfections you would make and have, yet He made you anyway. He never asked you to be perfect. He just asks you to trust Him.

So, grow. Grow in your relationship with God and grow in the profession He has called you to. There will be days you get excited over what you’re studying, and there will be many days you question whether you’re really qualified for this. Keep going. Trust God, and just do the next right thing.

Because of God, I did. And because of God, you will too.
