My Savior, My God

Next Sunday, I am going to ask to be a member of Sabrina's church, 26th Street Baptist Church. I'm so excited and thankful that her church family has accepted me as one of their own. I am part of the choir, the praise team, and Sabrina and I teach the preschoolers on Wednesday nights. I love it.

Speaking of teaching...I have been thinking a lot about my career plan, and if nursing is really want I want to do for the rest of my life, and I have decided to switch my major to Elementary Education. I've thought for a few days about this, and I've talked to mom, Terry, Sabrina, and Matt about this decision, and they support me. I just don't feel that nursing is my true calling, and I don't want to wake up every morning dreading going to school (and eventually work) like I pretty much do now. I'm going to continue to pray about this, and I know God will point me in the right direction.

Back to talking about church and God. Lately, I have noticed God working in my life. I know he has always worked in my life, I just haven't paid much attention. I used to ignore Him, thinking that I knew what I wanted/needed, and that I could worry about worshipping God later. SO NOT TRUE!!! I fully believe God has a purpose for my life, and I can't wait to see what He has in store for me in the future. God is so good!

Well, yesterday was the start of this year's Pumpkin Festival. I remember a couple years ago, my bif brother, Tyler, asked me to bring him home some Pumpkin Ice Cream since he wouldn't be home to get some himself. This year, I will eat some for him :) LOVE AND MISS YOU, BUBBY!!!

Matt's parent's came to Huntington yesterday. They want to go out to dinner tonight to the Blackhawk Grille. Unfortunately, mom has to work late again tonight, so my parents wont be able to make it. Mom has been SUPER busy with work lately. She has been doing employee evaluations (she has 56 employees...yikes!) and hasn't had a moment to herself for a while. I've been trying to help out around the house by cleaning and running errands for her and Terry so they have a little less stress. Today I went to Walmart for them so they (and the rest of the fam) would have things to eat and drink haha.

I have been super stressed for the past week. Wednesday from 1-3, I gave FLU SHOTS to about 30 people. It was SO FUN!! The only extreme bleeder I had was, of course, Matt haha it was pouring down his arm. Scared me to death, but thank goodness it was someone I knew and who knew me. I only had to put bandaids on maybe 3-4 people, including him, so I consider that a SUCCESS!! But what has really been stressing me out, is that I have a Yoga final on Monday (which isn't that stressful) and 2 exams on Tuesday (which are in my harder classes, and are extremely stressful)!! the 2 exams are Pharmacology and Statistics. its not that I don't like those subjects, it's the fact that there's so much information that I have to cram into my brain in four days! oh my goodness....but I know that God will give me the strength to get me through this rough time.

Well, I think that is all for now. Thanks for reading!!!
