So, It is a puzzling thing to "blog" about ones life online...but I am not great at keeping in touch other ways so here it goes.

I have now been in Ga for a little over two and a half years (it will be 3 in January, wow). Life has been busy but most of it is the day to day workings of life.

I am still working at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in the ED, and I am liking it now. I have learned about myself that if I give it enough time and I learn the ropes I can feel confident most of the time. I find I still get moments when I am anxious or on edge with adrenaline, but God is gracious and gets me through each time. I have had to do CPR on a little one for the first time and I hope it will be my last...though in reality it I know that will not be the case. I am thankful he has given me the skills to take care of children and to love on families in this way. I am slowly and unwillingly taking more leadership in the department, definitely on a small scale but that is enough for me. :) I have never really desired to be "in Charge" but I want to be a team player and an asset to the department, so we will see what the year to come has in store. But work is good. I am enjoying getting to know my co-workers outside of work and often getting to have dinner or hangout for different reasons here and there. I am looking more and more for opportunities to share Jesus with many. It has proved difficult. Most of them know I am a believer but they don't see their need....Oh, Abba help me share you with them.

Church has been good, I am still attending Perimeter Church in Duluth and still involved in the singles ministry. I have gained many good friends and I am thankful for the Lords answer of prayer in that. It is amazing how busy you can be each week. There is often something every night. For a while I felt I need to go to everything, least I be forgotten and replaced. (silly insecurity, I know) But all the same single life is so transitional and people come and go so frequently that you leave for a month and you don't know anyone when you get back. OK, so I am exaggerating a bit but sometimes that is how it feels. I get tired of having to be "on" all the time, it is a blessing to have people who you can be yourself at all times, weather happy or sad, in the mood for conversation or not. I have definitely found some people like that here and I am blessed.

I am loving owning a home! I bought a house in Duluth that I am making more and more my own each day. It is often overwhelming and I don't know what I have gotten myself into most of the time but God is good. The whole month of Oct my parents were in town...my dad is so wonderful! He came over often and helped me do little things here and there. I am so blessed by him! My brother-in-law, sister and brother have also all been so wonderful to help out and help carry the burden here and there. I have a lovely roommate who I adore and thankfully we are friends and roommates. God has been good to me.

OK, so enough rambling for now....I will try to write more later (before a month or so...) ;)
