Tales from a NURSE

Tommorow is the last Full- time Day of work for me. I will still continue to work, but only PRN. Which means, as needed. So i can sign up to work whenever... Hooray. This is because Andy and I will be traveling to different states for days to raise money to go to Mexico. And i want to be with him as we travel.....

I have really treasured my job. It is one of the most inspiring and hardest things i have done..

I have learned so much from being a Nurse. I truly believe that God created me to be a Nurse.....

I know that i love working with Children... I love how they can get better so quickly and that is amazing to see..

I love feeding and bathing new born babies.. I think it will help me so much when i become a mama...

i love seeing awesome parents who stay with their child and are very active with cares.

I am challenged to make good desicions, and am able to priortise well.

I know the differences between a lot of medicines and how to give them.

I truly have hidden these things in my heart. I am exicited to use them all in Mexico..

Know on the flip side..

I have also been in a lot of life and death situations, i believe that God has used those situations to help me see, what a gift life is..

I have worked with difficult families who were mean and rude to me. And i have grown.. God uses difficult people to help me realize that life isn't fair and that God is so Good. He loves no matter what and i am not God.. But, i am learning that teaching people and loving without anything in return, is so much eaiser said then done. But should always be my goal!!!

All in all, I am so thankful that God placed me where i was in the last 4 years..

I know that i will miss all of that..

but I am so exicted to see where God is going to use my SKILLS in the next couple of years..

If You're Going to San Francisco!

Here are some pictures of our recent vacation in California. We went with our good friends Bill and Mary Campbell. We had a great time in the Redwood Forest and in San Francisco. Chelsea was able to bless us with multiple versions of the songs "If your'e going to San Francisco" and "This land is your land"! It was awesome. Chelsea also found a friend along the way in an old antique shop! His name is Henry!

Neat People!

Hey, just wanted to post a picture of some really neat people we met a while back. We visited their church in Inwood, Iowa. They are the pastors there. We have had the chance to meet a lot of neat people like these two over the past 10 months of itineration. We are currently at 78 percent of our budget. Hey, God!
