as i watched the guy behind the counter skillfully make my pizza last night at your pie, it got me thinking. we all have trades. we all have things we are good at and things we take pride in.

these things are so integral to who we are and give us a drive and purpose behind our lives daily.

even though i feel i am making so many mistakes, my sweet boyfriend gently reminded me yesterday: "I know that it has been frustrating sometimes with trying to do things and messing up. But thats what happens to everyone. No one is perfect.......I know you are called to becoming a nurse and God is smiling at you because of it. Notice I said Becoming. It will take a little time and I bet you have already learned so much since you've started."

I am in a state of becoming.

what is your trade? what do you take pride in? what are you still aspiring to become?
