consecration part 2

On Friday night we had our nursing consecration ceremony with all our parents, family, professors and friends. It was a great ceremony that recognized our calling to be a nurse :)

Love these girls! We've been through it all :)
Me and sara
One of the prayers that a student read was passed down from her grandma:

Prayer for a Nurse – Severena Skreen

Oh, my God: I am about to begin the day’s work.
Teach me to receive the sick in Thy name.
Give to my efforts success, sweet Jesus, for the glory of Thy holy Name.
It is Thy work: Without Thee I cannot succeed.
Grant that the sick Thou hast placed in my care, may be abundantly blessed, and not one of them be lost, because of anything that is lacking in me.
Help Thou me, to overcome every temporal weakness, and strengthen in me, whatever may enable me, to bring the sunshine of joy, to the lives that are gathered round me day by day.
Make me beautiful within for the sake of Thy sick ones and those lives, which will be influenced by them. Amen.

Charis read a few verses about "Holy Ground" from Exodus 3:1-6

I was able to read 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 and Crystal read a prayer that she wrote for our class. It was such a blessing and meant so much to all of us!
The whole group singing, "Speak, O Lord"

Me and Crystal afterwards - so glad we made it through our parts :)

Stacey DeJong came to support us :)
