Trying something new.....

So I am going to try something new to get my blog back on track.  I have discovered I can write posts from my iPhone.  It is a bit cumbersome as the keyboard is obviously small and I will be typing with two thumbs instead of ten fingers, but there are some advantages.  It is highly portable!  I can take a few moments throughout the day to compile my thoughts and save them in a draft which can be posted at any time.  I have been waiting until I get home and by then there are too many other things which need to be done or quite frankly I am just too exhausted.  So bear with me as I try to get the creative writing juices flowing again....

 The past two weeks have been full.  I started rounding at the hospital with one of my doctors and I love it.  Unfortunately, it requires that I be up earlier than before.  I now leave the house around 6:40 am.  I race to the hospital, work up all the charts before she gets there and then we see the patients.  Then we both head over to the office and begin a very full day.  It has been a couple of months and I am feeling comfortable with my job to a point.  The medical assistants are now receptive to me and seeking out learning oppotunities.  We laugh a lot during the day, which eases the tension from the hustle and bustle of a very busy practice.

 We have moved to a morning service time for our church as well.  This will be the second Sumday we are 10:30.  We put out over 250 flyers door to door in several neighborhoods, put an ad in the paper and talked to as many people as we could and still had the same number of attendees.  It was a bit disappointing; however, the morning time has been a blessing and outweighs the other.  We have resolved ourselves that this church will grow in God's time not ours.

 Steve had a birthday yesterday!  We had a big day as we headed to Orlando to have dinner, shop for my man a new pair of shoes and just hang together.  I had collected all the birthday cards from the mailbox this week and saved them for him to open all throughout dinner.  We ate at PF Changs and found a great buy on a pair of shoes at Macy's.  We didn't get home until 10 and were exhausted, but had so much fun together.  That is one of the best things about our relationship is all the laughter!  

 My biggest challenge this coming week is a ladies bible study.  Steve has been teaching a men's bible study at a local men's mission on Monday night.  I had been feeling led to gather the women of our.church.  Since he is out on Monday night, I figured it would be a great opportunity to have them over for a study.  I have no idea how many are coming, but whatever the number we will fellowship together and learn about God!  I pray I am ready to answer questions which may arise and that I lead these women solidly by God's teaching. 

 It is time to get ready for church!  I am excited I managed to tap out a whole blog on the phone.  Thank you for sticking with me as I struggle to figure it all out.  I am grateful my savior Christ is walking beside me in this very busy time!

It was a Monday

Well, yesterday was my first missed day posting to the blog.  It was truly a Monday.  We moved from my parents house into our "lakefront" property at Lake Yale Conference Center.  For those of you with no idea where Lake Yale is, I have posted a link.   http://www.lybcc.com/   A 27ft camper is now home and we feel really blessed to have been given this place to stay.  It was definitely a challenge to fit everything inside.  I guess I should clarify, we did not bring everything.  We downsized a bit on the clothes, doubled up on each hanger, left a few of Steve's books behind and the harp is staying at Mom's for now.  It took two trips to get everything here.  Just as I pulled in, my parents pulled in behind me.  They had been to a doctor's appointment and stopped by to see the new digs.  My mom marched right up to the sink and began washing dishes for me.  I unloaded my car and attempted to figure out where to put ev...

No more memories

 It has been a long 16 months since my last blog post.  Too much has happened...too much. The most significant event was the passing of my mother last September.  It was truly a heart wrenching experience.  Many of you who know me know that my relationship with my mother was difficult.  We loved each other very much, but we had a difficult time spending long periods of time together.  We were both strong willed, independent and opinionated.  She wanted her way and I wanted mine.  Ultimately this caused way too many disagreements and misunderstandings.  These times of turmoil I now realize were a total waste of time for us both.   In those last days, sitting in her hospital room, it became all too apparent we had spend far too many times being frustrated with each other, arguing or not speaking.  When they told us we would have 2 to 12 months on hospice, I resolved myself to make it the best time we had ever had....

Time stolen

Time is quickly stolen away as I realize it has been ten days since I last put my thoughts into a posting.  My weekdays are consumed with work and I am so mentally exhausted at the end of the 10-12 hours, I cannot think of anything except doing nothing.  The weekends are a dash of running errands, church activities and trying to cram time in with family and friends.  When I woke this morning, I could not believe Saturday and Sunday had already come to a close.  This morning actually consisted of my husband waking me at eight minutes after seven.  For a point of reference, I usually leave the house at 7:05 am each day.  That should give you a quick understanding of how my Monday started with a bang.  Before I could get to the car, one of my employees was calling to tell me she would be out sick today.  I tried to force my brain into action as I reviewed what else was going on today.  It had already escaped my memory that I had one employee c...
