Thankful

The past couple of years have incurred alot of positive changes in my life. I am most thankful for my amazing son, my family and close friends and my church. Without God and the amazing people in my life I would not be in the place I am today and I do hope they all know that!
Speaking of church I decided to be a part of choir and the praise band. They all have accepted me into their world to which I am thankful. I have always used music as my therapy and it feels awesome to be praising God in song up on stage!
I hope all who read this take time to think about who all has made them the man or woman they are today.
God bless!

Hello Long Time No Talk!

Yeah I realize I havent kept up with my blog in awhile and so since little man is asleep I can update. On 9/10 he will be 17 months old and I am told once your baby is 18 months is considered a toddler. What!? Daniel is walking, running, talking and is so helpful too. I know this is gonna sound like I am a typical mom but my son is super smart. Simply amazing!

I am loving my career as an RMA and soon hope to be official there. I am closer to God than I ever have been in my life and am participating in a bible study with 2 friends. I am going to be trying out for the Praise Band at my church next thursday so I am super excited.  Well I am super tired so good night and God Bless!

Life Updated

- since my baptism I am even closer to God & trying to live the Christian life.

- started my new career as a Medical Assistant on Monday.

- my son is walking & will be 13 months on 5/10.

LIFE IS GREAT & SO IS GOD!!!!

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.
