..sleepless in Seattle..

It's been years when I started to run after my long term goal of destination--US of A. Right after the devastating and problem-giver result of June 2006 Local Board Exams, I stopped from my work to review for my first foreign exam, the CGFNS. I remember having a dilemma from pursuing a good job or going back to nursing books and of endless days and nights of  being locked up in a room with meals and bathroom breaks only. But in life as we should make priorities, I pursued taking the exam. After luckily passing it by self-reviews and well, self-imposed discipline, I took the next ladder of taking another compulsory foreign test, IELTS. My determination didn't stopped me from taking the most important exam to complete my application for States, the NCLEX exam. Again, being armed with faith and prayer as my shield, I was blessed to finished my 3 exams in a year's time..That would commensurate to a year of books and late nights made into day. So one day I said, "there, being no exams to take, the studying is now adjourned" hehe.. Another bigtime blessing was when I formally signed the much-awaited contract with my Valley Medical Center employer based on Seattle,Washington. While the contract was handed to me, the words of Paulo Coelho is reverberating on my mind  "if you really want something, the whole universe conspires in helping you achieve it"..

But the conspiracy rested for a while when retrogression sets in and many of the applicants for Immigrant Visa was temporarily limited to a quota. Worst is that there are only limited visas right now and the ones queued earlier is having a back lagged. So that means to say that my application will also be lagged for an indefinite period of time.

Lessons learned:

-God wanted me to slow down in driving my wheel of dreams, and let Him do all the driving for me..

-that there are other roads to take while waiting to arrive at the main road..

-that I should stop in a while: smell the roses, take pictures--I have lots of them=), bathe with Mr. sunshine, holler with Mr. moon and wish limitlessly with shooting stars..

-God does not want me to have sleepless nights in Seattle and so I believe that He will take me to the main road just in time..when I have my own family to bring with me=)

..It would have been then "Sleeping well in Seattle..:)
