Tortured for Christ

Happy

Isn't the weather lovely? Yesterday was perfect. The warm air and the smell of the leaves. I thank God for such a beautiful day.
I haven't written in some months so I will update. I am finished with school(diagnostic sonography), I am studying for the board exams, and both my Father and I am looking for jobs. Most of the time I am at home, which keeps me from spending much money, but other times I walk with my little sister or my Mother to Beaner's to sit and drink coffee.
Right now I am struggling to keep a good attitude. Unemployment tests a person's faith. Someone recently told me that when you ask for patience God gives you opportunities to be patient. So this is a great opportunity! I am very blessed.
I am glad for the time to do things like post or read other people's posts..and read. I haven't had the time to read books, other than school texts, in a long time. I am also grateful for time with my family, knowing that my next calling could be far away. I am thankful for time to serve the church, my brothers and sisters who I forget about so often.
Many people have encouraged me this past month, and I am happy for them. I am happy for my best friend who talks with me and prays with me.
Life is good.

This is really the time for graduations and congratulations. I've been to three so far, including my own, and there are yet more to come. Congratulations, Spring Arbor University on having the shortest commencement ceremony yet. I think this had to do with not announcing everything before it happened and also not voicing the graduate's middle name. Brilliant! Actually I kind of like the middle name announcement. It makes walking a tiny little bit more special.

So yesterday was my last day of school. At least for a while. I'm already looking into new ways to spend more money on meaningful educational experiences.( : But for now I'm really excited about going to Cedar Point, and I would encourage everyone else to go also.It's a wonderful land of joy and happiness. roller coaster favorite ride.....

Cold days, warm hearts

This is why I never got my flip-flops out. Yeah I never trust it the first time, but I really hope it gets warmer soon. The drive down to IN seemed so pleasant a week ago. But enough of that. Man, I can't believe most of us have about a month or so until semester ends. If I can just get all these presentations taken care of ahead of time, I'll be doing good. Procrastination is a terrible thing. I've been into that today, but I'm putting my foot down and I'm going to go research. I wish everyone diligence and warm hearts. God bless

I'm Back

  After Almost a whole school year, I'm updating. What can I say? School's just stressful. But anyway, spring is here making life seem so much more wonderful. Mmm. Smell that grass.
  Right now I am down here in Peru IN, where I have been practicing sonography at Dukes Memorial  hospital since last September. I come here every week for three days, which is shortly to change to five.  I have been enjoying it very much, except for the icy roads this past winter. But now that spring is here, my travels are a breeze.
  I'll be posting again soon, so this is just an update on what's been happening.

God is not a respector of persons.....And the oldies get everyone

I am sitting here in the arc in the AS building and I'm missing friends a lot. I hope everyone is doing well out there. School comes back to haunt us too soon. Oh well, I am really enjoying this stuff so far, just trying to grasp the concepts. I am going down to IN in a couple of weeks to get experience in a hospital setting. I'll be staying down there a few days each week for about a year. In some ways I can't wait to go, but I am also a bit intimidated. It will be all right. I just want to go to some punk rock shows for crying out loud!

 He he...the leaves are falling down a little. It's kind of nice I guess. Pretty soon it will be time for hay wagon rides and cider. Well, I hope everyone everywhere is doing great. At least fairly okay.
