God know best 

I grew up in a community of 2500 located between Rapid City and Sioux Falls.                                     

I always dreamed of being  a nurse. I even prayed to be a nurse someday. After high school I went to nursing school in Sioux Falls.

While in school I received a call from a lady who was looking for an ultra sound technician. She said she had received my name from a friend.

 I told her I wasn't interested, that I wanted to be a nurse and would finish school in a few months.

She said why don't you come in for a talk so you can understand what you are declining. She sounded nice so I went and during my visit she made the statement that any working nineteen-year-old wants to hear.

"This position is less work and more pay. "

She told me to finish nursing school and come back and see her. That is exactly what I did.

I have been an Ultra Sound Tech for  the past  twenty years. I love what I do.

A funny thing happened during  the first few years I worked  as an Ultra Sound Tech at a hospital. I noticed that nurses take a lot of abuse. They are often yelled at or scolded by patients, the patient's friends and family  and even by sleep deprived stressed doctors.

 I'm a sensitive person and when I am yelled at, I want to assume the fetal position. I realized then that nursing would not have been a good fit for me.

 God knew all along and honored my desire to serve others in the medical field. I thank the Lord everyday for having that lady call me and explain the Ultra Sound Tech position.

 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."(Jeremiah 29:11)
