Pull of Two Cities

        Awesome news, everyone, I have been accepted to AUM's (Auburn University of Montgomery) Nursing School! Praise God, I am so relieved! I spoke with a Montgomery native today and he had nothing but great things to say about their program! I have heard many things already but to hear from another nursing student how competitive and worthwhile their program is is so reassuring!
       As of right now, I am making plans to move to Montgomery. Montgomery!? Yes, I will be moving away, permanently. However, yesterday I turned in all my application paperwork for UAB, which would also be an honor to attend! As I walked the streets of Birmingham, I began to fall in love with our city once again. I love our city and I pray for God's movement to come upon it.
       The struggles I am dealing with concerning school is this, I love my home-meaning Birmingham- and I want to experience more of the city scene. I am in love with the people of AUM because they have treated me so wonderfully and I believe a change of address would be fitting with this new chapter in my life. Two, the thought of leaving my sweet church and my wonderful friends behind is killing me. Please, pray God keeps me in Birmingham to continue to carry out His work here. However, I am coming to terms that God might want me elsewhere for the time being.
       Anyways, just wanted to give a little update since February was the last time I posted. See, school has me so stinkin' busy I can't even write a simple blog! God bless!
