I felt so loved and it felt like a unique and surreal feeling. I was bursting with gratitude, experienced nothing but warmth, and joy. It was hard to describe how it felt to be on the other side of it all, and I would say it was worth it.
It was worth all the stress and heartache of enduring the long, treacherous journey this semester and throughout my program. It was worth the many doubts and discouragements and darkness I could feel at times, or sometimes people's criticism. It was worth the commitment and long days at the computer and pounding out the schoolwork. It was worth the unknown of not sure what was on the other side and if I would pass.
It was worth the feeling of accomplishment, of perseverance and grit and listening to this call that seemed to stay strong and consistent. Though it still took a lot of trust and overriding the challenges, it was worth it. It was worth it to see the final result and push on through. And I'm so glad I did.
What a wonderful accomplishment, Colleen!! What a journey well lived, a decision well made, efforts well fought! What we get to see on the other side of things, it's so often worth it!! Love, susie
