“In 2014 I lost my son to suicide. For years after that, I felt more lost than ever. In 2018, I began working in a small LTC as the housekeeper. I wasn’t allowed to help the residents, so I went to school to get my CNA. I felt that God was calling me for more, so I applied for nursing school and got my LPN. I miss my son everyday, but as a nurse, I am able to serve those who are the most vulnerable. With Gods help, I’m continuing to grow out of my weaknesses and bloom into my strengths.”

“This was the best spirit days talk. I’m a project manager and a writer with that mind flexibility of a creative. My job is adding a certificate I don’t have and don’t need. So after 5 years, I may have something to transition into here or maybe I will be offered something outside of SSM. I wrote trust. Because it will be okay. I have faith in the Lord for that. But holding onto that each day takes trust. So thank you for your time and your message. It helps me believe today.”
