| Oh my goodness! Xanga has changed so much. It's been over a year since I've written....and so it took me a good 10 minutes to figure out how to blog! Things are ever so busy with me right now. I'm back in school again... going to get my Masters in occupational therapy. I'm only taking 6 hours right now, but at times I feel over-whelmed since I'm still working full time at the hospital.
I bought a house a while back in 2007, and I'm really enjoying my own place. I've been doing some slight revamping lately so I'm really taking pride in my own space. Money has been especially tight lately since I'm back in school so I've decided to get a roommate. Her name is Nikki, I work with her, and she'll be moving in soon!
I was dating this man, Derrick...but we've decided to put things on hold. He's a truly wonderful guy and sometimes I'm sick when I think about us not being together, but at the same time I need to remember how different we are and that if it's meant to be, God will work things out.
My parents were in town last weekend, and I really enjoyed spending time with them. I look forward to the day when we live in the same state!!
This is my puppy Zion! He's so big now. I got him a winter sweater, even though I told myself I'd never put clothes on my dog.

| Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried:
Quietly, patiently, lovingly God replied.
I pled and I wept for a clue to my fate,
And the Master so gently said, "Child, you must wait."
"Wait? You say, wait!" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have You not heard?
By Faith, I have asked, and am claiming your Word.
My future and all to which I can relate
Hangs in the balance, and YOU tell me to WAIT?
I'm needing a 'yes,' a go-ahead sign,
Or even a 'no' to which I can resign.
And Lord, You promised that if we believe
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
And Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry:
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply!"
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate
As my Master replied once again, "You must wait."
So, I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting...for what?"
He seemed, then, to kneel, and His eyes wept with mine,
And He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens, and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead, and cause mountains to run.
All you seek, I could give, and pleased you would be.
You would have what you want--But, you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of My love for each saint;
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint;
You'd not learn to see through the clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there;
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me
When darkness and silence were all you could see.
You'd never experience that fullness of love
As the peace of My Spirit descends like a dove;
You'd know that I give and I save...(for a start),
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
The flow of My comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight,
The depth that's beyond getting just what you asked
Of an infinite God, who makes what you have LAST.
You'd never know, should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that 'My grace is sufficient for Thee.'
Yes, your dreams for your loved one overnight would come true,
But, Oh, the Loss! If I lost what I'm doing in you!
So, be silent, My child, and in time you will see
That the greatest of gifts is to get to know Me.
And though oft' may My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still, 'WAIT.'"

| So I'll give a mini update on my life....
Things at my new house are going awesome. I'm loving this place and so very thankful that the Lord has blessed me with such a gorgeous home. I had a house warming party last week and two of my co-workers brought me wine. I was grateful for their generosity, however, they both know that I very rarely drink- and the funniest thing of all is that I don't have a cork screw! Both of them laughed when I told them that I don't own one. It was nice to have some friends over to see my place, and eventually I'll post some pictures.
Work is going well. I have my yearly eval on Tuesday. I should be getting a small raise. I do wish that I could work better hours though. I feel like lately it's really hard for me to want to go into work bc especially on the weekends everyone hangs out in the evenings/nights when I'm getting ready to work.
My friend from NE is coming in town to visit me this week. It should be a good time. We're going to go to a water park and just have fun.
I got into a deep conversation at work the other day with two of the security guards at work. It was a very intense conversation and it was the first deep conversation I have had with non-believers in a while. It was refreshing yet frustrating because at times I feel like I cannot express my feelings very efficiently. It was for the most part very good because I know that I got them to think a little bit.
I am going to Florida in a couple of weeks. I was impulsive one day when I was looking at pictures of my niece and nephews and realizing how much I miss them so I got online and booked a flight. I will be gone July 12-18. I'm very stoked!
I'm still single, but I've been hanging out with a couple of different guys lately. I dunno that I would say I'm dating them, but if we go out - they'll pay? So I guess it could be considered a date. I watched the movie, "Because I Said So" last night. Funny. And it somewhat resembled my mother and me. I laughed. Hard. She so badly wants me to find Mr. Right and she's always asking me about guys. It'll come one day, I hope.
Well, nothing deep to say here. Just thought some of you lovely people would like a mini update on my life. Have a fantastic week!!!!

| I bought a house. It's way cute. 3 bed, 2 bath. Open floor plan, and it has a rockin deck. Not to mention it's about 10 minutes away from work.
Bob and Rach got married. It was absolutely gorgeous. I'll post pics sometime. Or check Facebook or Myspace for some pics right away. Mr and Mrs Sendelbach are in Cancun right now. Tonight is my first night off work/wedding stuff in over a week. I'm exhausted. I had company here from Wednesday through Sunday and then I worked Sunday, Mon, and Tue.
Tonight I hung out with Kristin and Danny. I really like them. I'm blessed to know them. We also had a picnic on Sunday with Rick and Jess. I am blessed to have good friends in my life.
Mom had another heart spell. She was in the ER and then admitted for a day or so, but she's out now and doing well. She has to be on a blood thinner for a month to prevent clotting.
I should be getting a raise soon. I have my yearly eval in a couple of weeks.
My Aunt is writing another book. It's about different people's embarrassing moments. So if you have a funny story feel free to tell me and I'll pass it on to her. She said that we can change the names in the story if someone it too embarrassed to use their own.
I'm furniture shopping for my new house tomorrow. Pretty excited.
I'm planning a trip home at the end of August for Kelli and Adam's wedding and also for Mike White's son's baby dedication. Mike and Shaunda have asked me to be Cayden's God mother. What an honor.
Blessings to you and your loved ones.
