Thanks everyone for the prayers. Unfortunately, I did not do very well on the exam. I know I did well on the burn and renal portion of the exam. I guess I just got all of the diferent types of shock and the hemodynamic instabilities all mixed up. I really don't know. They have not done the item analysis yet, to see if there were any bad questions, so I am not sure of my final grade. I do know, however, that it is not going to be high enough to secure my "B" to pass the class. I have had to drop out of school twice. Once when my oldest child was diagnosed with cancer, and once when I gave birth 17 weeks early. They made me sign a contract with them that they would not let me back into the program regardless of the circumstances, if I did not succeed in this class. It is over. I have blown my whole future. I will probably lose my marriage over this. We have put so much on the line for me to go to school. My husband is very supportive, but there is really only so much a person can take, you know?? Anyway, I really don't know what I am going to do. I just really wish that God would call me home today. I don't want to let my family down. I cannot and will not believe that he put such a huge desire in my heart to be a nurse if that is not in my plan. I just don't know what to do. I feel alone, helpless, hopeless, and I just don't want to breathe anymore.

Awwwwww Supermom I wish I could just give you a great big hug right now!!!! You have over come SO MANY obstacles in your life!!!! I can see you want to just cash it all in right now and there is NOTHING I could say to make it better. I just want you to know that I am praying for you and please PM, IM, Email or even call me if you need to vent.

Oh supermom!!! I am so sorry!!! I did pray for you - please don't despair. I know that you are a Saved person and you know that being a Christian is not always easy. You have had some tough trials and tests in your walk thus far; and no it is not fair. BUt remember that Scripture says that He will not give you more than you can handle and He will provide a way for you to handle these trials.

Cry, vent, pray, whatever - but you cannot give up. You have a husband and children who need you desperately and that alone is worth everything. I don't know your marital situation but from what i've read, I don't think your husband is going to blame you or leave you because of a failed class. I know that I have simplified it but I cannot believe that he will change how he feels about the woman that is his wife and mother of his children.

Don't give up on your dream - but know this - sometimes the Lord puts things in our heart and we reach that goal in a way we never expected. Or, it leads us to what He ultimately wanted us to do in the first place.

Hang on to your faith, vent to us, but please don't give up!!

Laurie~ Here is a big hug from me to you I do not have the words to make things better but I do know an old hymn that I am sure you know too that has helped me many times when I have felt like there is nothing left to live for...."because He lives I CAN face tomorrow, because He lives all fear is gone, because I know HE holds the future, life is worth the living just because He lives" Just repeat this to yourself as often as needed!
