Knowing where your meant to be....

I started work last Tuesday and although the days are long and I come home tired, I know this is where I am supposed to be. There is such a peace. I am surrounded by Christians who desire to serve the Lord daily. Each morning we pray before our patients come in. We want to be full so we can pour into others. It's refreshing.

As many of you know I am NOT a morning person. I prayed that God would help me not to be lazy and get up so I have enough time to get ready and spend unhurried time with Him. As always, He is faithful and does just that. All week I have been able to spend time with the Lord, gaining strength for what is to come. And each day I have all that I need. I know this may sound juvenile considering I've been having my devotions since before I was 10 yrs old, but in the last 6 month or so, I had become lukewarm at times. I would read God's Word occasionally, but that was it. When I read it, nothing spoke to me. I was parched and yet not drinking of the Living Water even though it was right there before me, in my hands, OPEN. Then something happened. My heart changed. I knew I needed more. I wasn't content just looking at my salvation, I needed to drink it in. So I did, and it has been WONDERFUL! I have a renewed joy for life and instead of looking at what I lack, I see what I have. My mind is not overwhelmed with so much to do, but it is filled with the peace that whatever comes my way, I can face it because when I am weak I am STRONG. The peace of the Lord is transcending all my understanding and guiding my heart and mind.
It's beautiful......

Here is our house. As you can see, it is still under construction. It should be finished and ready for us to move in on the 28th of this month! We are SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!


Today was my first day on the job. It went very well. I really like the people I work with and I think it'll be overall, just really good. It was only a half day today and they certainly kept me busy. I am so tired right now!?! I'll probably be tired and sore the next couple of weeks. Plus with moving on top of that.....Oh boy...it's crazy here. AH!
