Helen knew in her heart that she needed to make a change in her life. She thought she would be further along with her career and was frustrated with the empty promises of her employer. She experienced disappointment after disappointment. It was time for a change.
She looked at the index at the back of her Bible under "New Beginning" and found several scriptural references. One of the suggested passages was Revelation 21:5 "See, I am making all things new." This is exactly what Helen was longing for. Deep down she wanted to help people. When she was in high school she dreamed of becoming a nurse. After she graduated her life took some unexpected turns, she would tell you some "wrong turns."
On New Year's afternoon Helen decided that it was not too late to enroll in college and begin working on a nursing degree. The next day she contacted the college. "It's never too late," she told her friend.
In the years since that day Helen has found working in the hospital meaningful, she particularly enjoys meeting and providing patient care. She has also encouraged some other "later in life" would-be students. "If I can do it -- so can you!" Helen claims that she has experienced a new sense of purpose in her life, "this is where I belong," she says.
