New Starts and New Stresses comes with New Blessings

It has been quite awhile since I have really been able to blog. A lot has been going on lately and has definitely been stretching me in many ways.

Leaving IWU and moving back home was a great challenge and a different change. It felt weird to be going from living in a dorm surrounded by all my friends to going home where I had to drive to see my friends. As well as leaving there I left many friends. Many of them which I really miss. While this has been rough, I have been provided with an awesome major and program at Ivy Tech South Bend for graphic design. Also a good group of friends to spend good times with at school and in class. I am also glad i could be home to support and go through my parents divorce this summer. It was something in my life that I never thought would happen to my family but each day we are living and getting used to what this changed life for us and for our mom is. This has for sure changed me.

The main big blessing I have had lately is getting a second job. I love working at the library but there are times where I need a bit more money so I took on a second job. Between that and school I stay quite busy. anyways, I got a job with Warsaw Home Helpers. It is a non-medical based in home care. I have had the privilege of spending most of my weekend with one of the clients who has been diagnosed with lung cancer. This family has been through a lot in the past week or two and I am glad I can be here to lighten their load. the client and I have bonded well in the just 20 hours we have been together. While i did not like the 14 hour day yesterday, when i walked into their house this early afternoon I guess he had been asking where I had been. I am so glad I took this job. Working with this client really has shown me that I am really going to enjoy working in people lives.

While life seems to suck a lot with me and in that i have alot i am doing, i know that i am making a difference in peoples lives and also changing myself at the same time. I guess I just need to keep keeping faith because the Lord never seems to fail me.
