I thought I would go ahead and give an update for my friends who live out of town.  It seems as if I haven't really blogged in a long time.

Work is going well.  I'm really enjoying what I am doing and gaining tons of experience.  I have opportunities to see God's work everywhere: in patients I see who were encouraged, in conflict with my co-workers, and seeing the many different ways I sin in pride in my heart.  I love the unit of people I work with.  We're practically like a family, and everyone works really well together.  I don't see too many other places where you see that kind of teamwork except maybe church staff.

I have a new group of girls in my fellowship group, well not completely new, but we've moved some of the girls around.  I now have an interesting mix, but I love that interesting mix.  I'm excited to see what God is going to do and how He is going to build the girls together.

Do you ever have short term goals in the back of your mind, but it seems like there is never a right time to accomplish them?  Well, one of the goals for me would be learning to cook more dishes.  I'm going to try really hard to move that goal to one of my priorities.  We'll see how that works out.

Well, sorry for the ramble, but that's what happens when you get out of the habit of blogging.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Drop me a comment if you still read this, I'm interested to see how many people actually get on xanga.

As you all know, my grandmother has been in the hospital.  They will be D/C her today, and the doctor recommended that we use hospice services.  My grandmother indicated before she became sick that she did not want any type of feeding tubes, only comfort care.  The doctor estimates that because she is no longer able to swallow, she will probably pass away in the next couple of days.

Please pray for my family, especially my Dad as we wait for her to pass away.

Praise God!!!  I passed my test.  I am now a licensed social worker.
