Life is like dessert...

Well, work is going well. I'm starting to see some patients on my own now, without my preceptor. I have a lot to learn, but I am doing well. I like it. Caring for people, driving from house to house. It's challenging and rewarding. I feel happy. And I get to go to England soon! This girl is a happy girl :)

New Life

Well, its begun lol. As if you couldn't tell. I haven't blogged for a month, meaning my job has started and life has gotten very busy. My job is going well. A few kinks to work out and things should go pretty smoothly there. I like being a nurse again. Its been so long! I like caring for people and feeling God working with me and being with me on the job. I miss though, the closeness I had with people when we had all the time in the world to be with each other. I miss the focus my life used to have on spiritual things. Where I am now, it doesn't mean I've lost connection with God. It just means we connect in different ways I think. We'll see how it unfolds lol. Right now, life is a big whirlwind of newness, confusion, and lots of grace. New job, new roommates, new life. Pray for me!! lol 

See you on the other side... 

Sunny Wednesday!

Well, work finally starts next week for me. I'm looking forward to it, I need something to occupy my time and my thoughts. I'm anticipating remembering what its like to be a nurse, and to help other people in that way. As for the last couple weeks, I've just been preparing to move in to our new place, which will take place in 11 days. !!!! Lots of change in the air. Scary, but still worth it. Just gotta put on my big girl pants I guess ;) And as far as my internship, its been great just catching up with my friends and leaders at the church. We've spent office hours together, as well as healing and prophetic classes, church services, worship practice, and prayer meetings. And just generally hanging out. I'm excited to see how we'll grow as a church in the next year. Nothing stays the same for very long.

Life Update

I need to write, or I'll probably never do it again lol. Since being home from school, I've applied for every job under the sun, and have been rewarded with a very good full time job that will start at the end of the month. I'm so glad to start up a life here. I'm ready to set down roots and get settled. I've been traveling for a long time, it'll be so nice to get established again. And have money lol. I'm also working an internship at my church, working with kids, playing on the worship team, and being part of things. I like this mix.
As for these next three weeks, I will be packing in order to move into an apartment April 1st!! With two most lovely roommates :) When something happens, everything happens lol. A job, a home, a church family. Thank you God for blessing me so much, so quickly. You are so, so good.

Home home :)

Good evening folks. Well, I'm finally home. I graduated from SOM last week, and attended a rather crazy after party. That weekend I stayed with Grace in Port Perry on an island. It's so beautiful there. We went for a night time walk and observed the stars. So pretty.

On Monday we headed down to good old Pennsylvania to go skiing!!!! It was my first time. The first day I tried skiing with no lesson. Bad idea, and I've got the bruises to prove it :P The second day was better though. I had a lesson and then practiced on the bunny hill for hours. After that I could make it down a green run without falling. I am extremely proud of myself lol. It was a lot of fun :) The ski trip was also spent with 17 other fabulous SOM people, my friends and family really. We all lived in one house, cooked our own meals and entertained each other for a few days. I will never forget in that game of freeze when Brayden 'climbed' up Andrew as a koala. O.M.G. SO funny. Anyway, good times :P

So now I've been home for a little while, just chilling and looking for a nursing job. A few prospects, we'll see how they pan out. Pray for me! After that it's internship time at my church on Grand Island. I'm looking forward to it. I think it'll be a great learning experience for me. I'm crazy nervous too, not quite sure what I'm getting into lol. But it'll be a wild ride, and a fun one at that :)

Sweet dreams everyone.

Home from Finland

Hi everyone. Just came to share about Finland. And waste some time lol. I just spent 3 weeks in Finland on a missions trip with a group of awesome people. I came back changed, a bit more cultured and more free.
We spent a lot of the first week having meetings at Arkki, the free church in Jarvenpaa. We led worship, preached, prayed for people, and had a lot of fun just chilling. Finnish people are beautiful, fun to be around and very nice. They're honest about their culture lol. And the food is really good. We bought and cooked our own meals usually. Twas good.
The second week was spent in the schools. We taught religion classes, but mostly cultural lessons on our respective homelands. The kids were so good, attentive and excited. A lot of them responded with questions and input. We also got to visit a few other churches in the area. We saw the pentecostal side of things, and the Lutheran angle. God is definitely moving in Finland.
The last week we went to a home for the elderly, and visited some houses individually. Just spreading the love. The weekend before was camp, which was so fun. Two and a half days of meetings, games in the snow, sauna time, snow rolling, and just good times with friends. Camp was so fun.
I have been stretched, and treated to the best trip with the best group of people. One of the best things about the trip was just having fun with my team and getting to know everyone better. Life is good :)
Now that I'm home, I think some settling is in order. Being on a 3 week roller coaster ride can really take it outta ya lol. Its good to be here resting and letting God unravel it all :-)

Saturday Bliss

Now this is what Saturdays were made for. I am lying in bed in the middle of the afternoon, as sun streams through the window. I have a soft red blanket over me. Christmas lights are twinkling on the wall beside me, lighting pictures of my family and creative artwork made by myself and friends. Erin is playing mysterious melodies above my head. I am warm, comfortable, happy, and resting. God is good. I am blessed. Here's to saturday afternoons.
