Hello to all!

It has been a while. I don't have too much time to give you an update, but I do want to let everyone in on what is going on.


I have been working a lot lately. I worked 12.5 hours yesterday, today 14, tomorrow work at the VA, then Saturday 7a to 7p... my feet are a bit achy, and I am emotionally drained, but I am ETERNALLY thankful for the opportunity to go to nursing school. I have the privilege of an education, and I recognize that this is not available to everyone. I can find myself getting into a complaining mentality, but there are so many people who would do anything to receive this type of training. I am blessed and am saying GOODBYE to any thoughts of discouragement or being overwhelmed.


My Meme was hospitalized this week. Talk about a difficult time.I am extremely far away and am unable to be there for her in the way that I so so so so desire. The Lord knows my heart. My Meme is one of my most favorite relatives in the entire world. She is selfless, humble, and played a HUGE part in my upbringing. She is not literate, but I can say with confidence that she is one of he wisest people I have ever known. I will be lucky if I can turn out half as a amazing as she is in her advanced age.


My dad has found a job. Well, I should say the Lord has handed my dad a job on a silver plater. Please pray he takes full advantage of this opportunity and is able to remain strong in his fight against addiction and flesh.


My Mom is great need of prayer. She recently was diagnosed with a stress fracture in her foot. She now has a boot on that protects her from any further damage and is allowing her to heal. Also she has some nodules on her thyroid that the endocrinologist wants to biopsy. Related to her neuro stuff, she is experiencing sudden weakness in her legs that seems to have an extremely sudden onset. This is proving to be moderately dangerous as she cannot predict the weakness when it comes. It could be as she is sitting, but it can also be as she is walking across the room. We are also still patiently awaiting the approval of disability. There is obviously a lot going on here. The Lord knows.


I have been taking a lot of pictures and writing down ideas of what I want to share with you guys. When time permits, I will be ON IT. The Lord is working in me, and I want to make sure I take the time to really express what in the world is going on. I have so, so much to tell you. For now, I must go to sleep. Work tomorrow. Work the next day. Then REST IN JESUS SUNDAY.


Amen and Amen.
