Just Another Day

So I had this plan to blog everyday… it lasted about 3 days. oops. It’s one of those things where, you get busy, you forget, or life is just too dang boring and you’ve got nothing to write about. It’s not that life is completely void of excitement, it’s that there’s nothing worth sharing.

The most exciting thing that’s happened to me in the past two weeks was going shopping and buying things for my house in Delaware. (Which I have yet to see and have no idea what type of furniture I’ll have, and have no idea who my roommates are.) Buying pots and pans, appliances, and random kitchen utensils has been the highlight. (But hey, you might get excited too if you found a 7 dollar toaster too.)

Has my life really been reduced to this? (God, I hope not.) But then, in two weeks I’m moving half way across the country to be apart of something bigger then myself. So my life can’t be too void of excitement right? (Then again, the most exciting thing in my life has to do with my job…a job that I’m excited for, but has nothing to do with the field I hold a degree in. Go figure.)

Off to New Places

I found out today that in a month I will no longer live in the Midwest (at least not for the next year). Instead I’ll be an East Coast girl. I’ve finally got a job! (HURRAY!!!)

This has been the source of much frustration over the last several months. Even though I’ve got a degree (and a lisence) in nursing, jobs still arn’t all that easy to come by. But, no more job search for me. I’ve got a position with AmeriCorps.

I’ll be trained as a firefighter and a first responder and will be responding to emergencies and doing some education in the community.

It’s not exactly what I thought I’d be doing, but I’m ok with that. In fact, I’m pretty excited about it. It’s still associated with the medical field, and who knows, maybe working as a first responder will help me get a job later in an emergency department.

Thanks for all the prayers, fingers crossed, and good thoughts that you all have been sending my way. Apparently, they worked!

Here’s to the Future

My future is very much unknown. I have three weeks left of camp. I’m totally clueless about what comes after that. I’ll hopefully have two interviews this next week with AmeriCorps. (Keep your fingers crossed!)

One of the interviews is for a position in St. Louis. It sounds like it would be a neat experience and something that I would possibly excell at. But the drawback is that I’d be working with older adults rather than the pediatric population.

The second interview is for a position in Delaware. (I’m interviewing all over the nation, I know.) It’s for the emergency service corps or something along those lines. I’m not exactly sure what to expect, but it sounded like it would fit in well with the direction I wanted to head career wise (and by saying that I mean it sounds like it has a health/medical component to it). But who knows, I guess that’s what the interviews are for.

I have no idea where God is directing me to go in all this, He seems pretty quiet lately. I suppose that could also be that I’m really not listening for Him either.

I have a feeling that whatever is meant to happen, what ever direction I am suppose to go, will happen easily. Everything will just fall into place. (Not without effort of course, but it will happen.)

Tomorrow

I recently joined the NaBloPoMo group. The theme for the month of Augues is “Tomorrow.”

As I attempt to blog as often as I am able (not always possible since I’m at camp) the reoccuring theme throughout the month will be the future. Who knows what the future will bring?

(Sometimes I wish I did, but I don’t.)

I don’t know what will happen in the future, all I can hope for is that it be exactly what I need to be the person I was intended to be.

If you could look into a crystal ball, what would your future have in store?
