Update 04/2013

I haven't blogged in awhile so I have some updating to do. I am done with school and just finished my extern at a Doctors Office last week. As of Wednesday, my son is officially 1 years old. I was baptized for the first time on 3/31/13 at my church. I am praying that someone calls me for at least an interview so I can get back to work and in my new career as a Medical Assistant. Today, after a year since I quit, I went back to visit. I was super nervous but everything went well. That is all for now. I know this was a short summary but being a full time mommy and looking for a job takes my time up!

God Bless!

Changes

My amazing son is 10 months old today. I can't believe how much he has grown and done since he was born. In less than 2 months, he will be 1 years old, my how time flies. I am cherishing every single second with him, that is for sure. Tomorrow is my last day of class for Medical Assisting & Wednesday I start my externship. I can't believe how just 1 year my life has changed and for the better. Not to mention how I have a renewed faith and becoming more religious week to week. I thoroughly enjoy church. Church to me on Sunday mornings, is equivalent to a person's cup of coffee. I feel energetic, renewed and ready to start my day. I love going to my church. What wonderful people I have met each week. God bless.

Monday Monday

Well unfortunately I was not feeling well yesterday and did not attend church. I am on the border of losing my voice today which stinks! I love going to church and learning something new each week and was super sad about not being able to go. I definitely am going this Sunday can not miss another day of church!!

Well it is monday, and by next week, I will be wrapping up my last class. I am super excited about extern coming up and hope I can extern for a hospital so I can get my foot in the door with a possibility of a career there. My goal is to work at my site as much as I can to get my 200 hours and if not get hired on there, look into positions at other medical facilities.

My ideal place to work would be with Tri Health. I gave birth to my son at one of their hospitals and have visited a couple of their doctor offices. I absolutely love them and the people who work there. They treat their patients like family and I would be so lucky to be a MA there...fingers crossed. But if that doesn't work out my next place would be an  OB GYN office. We shall see.

It is crazy where life takes us. I went from an unhappy marriage and job to having an amazing son who has inspired me to come back to school and work in the medical field as a MA. I hope to be able to return to school when he is a little older to become an LPN then an RN. Since 12/23/2012, I started going to church and hope to continue on my spiritual path with God & Jesus. Well, that is all for now.

Enjoy life. Love hard. God Bless!

Relationships Under Construction: Friendships



At church we started a new sermon called Relationships Under Construction (hence the blog title). We focused on friendships today. Pastor Marie spoke of Jesus' friends circle and how many of them betrayed Jesus and yet Jesus forgave them and rebuilt those friendships.

This sermon made me think of a friend I had made in Kindergarten. We remained friends up until a few months ago when I found out that she wasn't inviting me to hang out anymore. Instead of having a conversation with her, I told her we aren't friends anymore via text and that was it. Aside from that day, we did wish each other a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year but that was the extent of the conversation. Well today after listening to my Pastor about forgiveness, and fixing the broken friendships, I decided to contact this person. My text read as follows:

"I am so sorry about ending our friendships. My feelings were hurt & I felt like since I have a child now, and I am no longer married, felt left out."

Her reply was:

"Thank you for apologizing and if I would have known you didn't know I would have told you and I don't mind hanging out with you and Daniel. The only reason I do go out is to try to see you cuz I love you and Daniel."

Wow. After all of that, she loves me still. See we all take friendships for granted and when you feel something maybe like I did, being left out, have a conversation. It could have been a real simple fix. I almost lost a 20+ year friendship because I ended it before I even thought to have a conversation.

What a great sermon today we had. Forgiveness is hard, but after you forgive, it feels like a weight is lifted off of your shoulders.
 

Luke 5: 18-20

Some men arrived carrying a paraplegic on a stretcher. They were looking for a way to get into the house and set him before Jesus. When they couldn't find a way in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof, removed some tiles, and let him down in the middle of everyone, right in front of Jesus. Impressed by their bold belief, he said, "Friend, I forgive your sins."

Matthew 5:14-16

This is the passage we talked about in church today.

Matthew 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.

Finding God

Today I would like to blog about my new found Faith. I have always been Spiritual, but never really have gone to church until 12/23/2012. I believe God was whispering to me over the past few years to belong to a church. I have just had this yearning to go to one, but was hoping someone would go with me. Well this time I took the bull by the horns and decided that since I wanted/needed to go, just to go alone. Everyone at CPUMC, was so warm and welcoming! I finally found a church that I wanted to belong to. I want to be a part of CPUMC, as in doing something like choir or helping in the nursery at one of the services. I just feel like I belong there and God guided me to my new church home/church family if you will. I love getting up on Sundays and going to Thank God for all the blessings in my life. I have always had Faith, but I have a deeper love for God and a better connection with his holy spirit than I did before. I can not explain it, I just feel it. Looking forward to next Sundays sermon by Pastor Marie and many many more Sundays to come. Amen.
