Birthday party with the dance team from RWOC

Pammy's birthday brought the team together for dinner at Cesear's Resturant. We had a nice time chatting and laughing and sharing time together and blessing Pammie with some gifts. Here are pictures

A collage from the weekend

 

Fun with cameras

I still laugh at this one... I turned the viewfinder to the front of the camera with Jayden... He could see himself while I recorded. It was his first experience seeing himself. He was so confused/amused he would run in circles away from the camera....




this weekend was full and fun...

In the last week I have been crazy busy and neglected uploading some pictures. I went to Virginia and had birthday parties for Sammy and for Lanicia.









Then, this week I spent several nights at church - some great insights .... I may share more later...






I had a great time hanging out and catching up with friends.


And enjoyed watching kids be kids....















this weekend I enjoyed catching up with Janelle and Josie and helping out with Jayden and Madelyn. So here are a few pics...



Jayden is such a fun subject to take pictures of...















He loves the swing... so much is hard to convince him to get out of the swing

























And he is a great big brother





















And then they got a great box to play in. I cut a hole for a door and two for windows that open and close.


He had a ball, and decided to start using the larger window as an exit and entrance site.

A few pics from the salsa congresito in greenville, sc.... More details after I get some sleep 35 hours without sleep is catching up with me. Sometimes life goes a hundred hours a minute, and I don't want to miss a second.... good friends, buying groceries, seeing family, SALSA dancing, dancing in church, more salsa dancing and then laundry and a peek at the pics... gotta run....

Spring and new things abound...

Spring is here. Traditionally I go and take pictures to prove it... but the proof exist in the blooms that fall off the pear trees, the tulips in bloom, the daffodils, the birds chirping, and the beautiful 60-70 degree days here. I am slowly adjusting to life in Greenville. (I know, "rough life" you say from all my northern friends yearning for the warmth-- except I am very aware of the possible skin melting heat I may face this summer)

I love this time of year. And I love being where God has planted me. And looking forward to the anticipation of what is about to blossom open in my life. I pray that I follow his plans. And can't wait to see what He has in store for me.

The new job is mentally exhausting grasping all the new syndromes children can be born with and learning all the logistics to the specialized pediatric orthopedic care they provide. But luckily the staff is great and encouraging and helpful at educating. I am learning and enjoying it.

And how are other things?...
-- trying new things like the worship/dance team at church
-- trying to switch from late nights to early mornings-- 5:30-6:00 am to be exact
-- still looking for a great Christian man and learning to not let my expectations/standards slip -that God knows I'm worth it and now I realize it too :)
-- trying to learn to salsa dance smoother
--enjoying being an aunt to Jayden and now Madeline -- as of note we gave Jayden and easier version of my name to say and now he proudly says "hi" and "byebye" to "Lala" (missing my other three nephews - Justin, Josh & Walker)
-- enjoying chatting with new friends and hoping to start having energy to hang out more in the next few weeks
-- itching to go scuba diving -- anyone interested in a trip let me know...

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST....still loving life to the fullest, living every moment, treasuring every new memory, giving all I have, sharing my love,taking moments to look up and enjoy those beautiful sunrises, falling down and getting back up to dance again..

My new neice is here....

Okay for those that read my blog for lighthearted stories or pictures you may want to skip this.

For the others... my thought today was of truth.

Truth shines light/knowledge/awareness in our life.
Why is it that we fear the truth?
how often do we fear to hear the truth?
how often do we fear to speak the truth?
how often do we run from the truth?

How often do I chose to continue to run in the darkness away from the light?
How many times, and for how long will I stumble, wound, and scar my life in running from the truth?
What is it about the light that we fear?

Is it the glow that will expose my true self?
What is it, that I fear, in unveiling myself?
Is it the glow that reveals my motives and heart?
Is it the knowledge that I've allowed things I want to change to remain unchanged from neglect, fear or lack of discipline.

Is it the glow that reveals the others I have chosen to have in my life?
Is it fear of recognizing their true nature and being disappointed...
Is it fear of being rejected if I know their true intent?
Is it the awareness of things being less than what I want -that people disappoint me or intentionally hurt me?

Is it fear of acknowledging that the circumstances I am living in do not meet my expectations?
Is it the fear of scarred and unhealed areas that we have fought to hide?
Is it fear of the full knowledge of my life, because, then I need to acknowledge weakness/sins I have continued in or areas that I left unhealed.


Why is it that I fear knowing what needs to be changed in my life.
Especially when God has given my power to change things in my life.
Why is that I fear awareness of the fact that people in my life have disappointed me or intentionally hurt me.
Especially when I know that I like those in my life are not perfect and have done the same to others. But that God has blessed us with Jesus' blood that covers mine and their shortcomings. And that He loves us enough to want us to have authority to demand and require respect and to set boundaries with others.
Why is it that I fear a knowledge of sins I have continued in or areas that I have left unhealed.
Especially because God does not expect me to be completely sinless or un-scarred, but He provides the love and anointing oil to heal me and his blood that covers my sin.

Today I hope that I have learned from the truth He revealed and pray that He will bring it to completion in my life, to bring Him glory, and helps me see the treasures He gives us and to be blessed with the fact that God blesses us with time. Time is a but an illusion/perception that wee see our lives through...

An interesting quote I hear this week
Time has a mysterious kindness. It always gives back to us what we have lost, through wisdom and memories.


Scriptures tell us about truth. And that God shines his light in our hearts to help us understand Him and how He is working in our lives...
II Corinthians 4:6-10, 17
6For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"[a]made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. 7But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed....

16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

babysitting with Jayden

So I've enjoyed my first week at work. I've had tons of reading to keep up with things and have even more to do. Mid week Dr Davids recommended a book that's been very helpful with the physical exams. I have so much to learn.... But I am excited to do it. I have to sit through hospital training and miss out on clinic on Monday and Tuesday. I am still praying for my old bosses to sign off on my reference letters and get them to the board. Their secretary said I should get them on Monday or Tuesday -- please pray that they finish this. I've been bugging them for about a month to get that in...

But tonight I spent some time with Jayden and gave Janelle & Josie a chance to go out to eat to dinner together. Probably one of their last dates before baby girl Wilder arrives in 2 weeks. Jayden and I had a blast together. I can't believe how talkative he is getting. He went to saying up and Mama and Dada to a huge vocabulary. He is growing up so fast. Check him out and they are doing a great job teaching him to clean up after himself...

the journey begins in South Carolina...

They say a pictures worth a thousand words.... So here are a few pics of my temporary housing for the next few months.



A nice convenient apartment for the next few months, while I wait with faith for my house in Hendersonville to sell. Tim & Lindsay and Sammy came to visit and help with the move. I can't believe how big Sammy has gotten. Janelle, Josie and Jayden also came over to help out. I have two bedrooms -- with one being my guest bedroom, office/ storage area. I really am excited to be back in civilization - closer to church, social activities and even the little things -- like grocery stores with a variety of choices and brands. Tomorrow I start my new job and after work I am going to start with my first practice with the worship/dance team at church. What a great way to start my journey in Greenville... and I got a chance to go to Flava invasion 3-- a salsa convention in Atlanta that consists of classes and social dancing this weekend. I shared a room with Tia and had fun chatting and hanging out and getting to know her. I learned a little more about mambo style of salsa dancing while there :) Still not good at it, but I'm intrigued with the styling that can be done with all the turns in mambo vs LA style salsa dancing, which makes me want to learn more... I also had a chance to stop in and visit and have some good bonding time in with Becca while she did my hair. I really have been blessed to have a warm, safe place to stay, a new job, time and resources to go have fun, new friends and old ones.

MOVING...

Moving ... again.... this time to South Carolina.... can't wait to start/finish. So I used a company --2 men and a truck -- great workers, polite, hardworking guys who did a record breaking move for me. They took about 2 hours to load and an hour to drive and another 1.5 hours to unload the truck at the apartment. Those guys can carry a lot of boxes. Considering I have my fair share of medical books in those boxes... I could only carry one file box at a time... these guys were carrying 3 or 4 behind them on their backs... I was impressed.
I have never rented in an apartment complex. I always did duplexes apartments in the past, so this should be interesting...
First thing I noticed... My kitchen cabinets space is limited especially without a pantry.
2nd thing -- there is no microwave -- I need to get mine from the house tomorrow.
3rd thing -- the indoor pool is very warm-- great for relaxing stressed muscles (great benifit to apartment complex)
4th (but should have been first) I have great friends/family who made setting up here a breeze. -- Josie and Tim had the washer and dryer up and running in no time. Beds in place and framed even faster and table assembled despite the fact that two toddlers where attempting to crawl into the table repeatedly during that project. -- Thanks friends and family (especially Janelle & Josie who brought drinks and ordered pizza and all around helped despite fighting illness in their house for a week. And Tim & Lindsay & Sammy who drove 6 hours to help out) I love the additional help of family and friends -- especially when assembling things like a heavy table or things like chosing the layout of kitchen cabinets.
5th -- I am so excited to have such a larger selection in grocery stores... being in a larger city-- that made me smile while getting a few basics last night.
6th --now I don't have to get up so earlier to go to church... of course since sammy's nap time didn't smoothly correlate with first service --we put off going until 2nd service. :)
The list could go on... I am just so blessed to finally be where God wants me and to have all the advantages of a small city. Thank you God!!!

Moving....

So here is my current storage room of boxes ready to be moved next weekend....
Oh the joys of moving.... are there any? Yes -- and the excitement of a new place, closer to friends and loved ones, new friends, closer to church and closer to social settings is what motivates me to pack once again. These last few years have been strange. Moving as often as some change car leases. -- Well let me tell you moving is one way to spring clean a place. It has been very good to purge some final things that I've held onto.

I spent Thursday getting a trailer and filling it and taking it to the dump and returning the trailer. And let me tell you -- for someone who is spatially challenged -- backing up a trailer is a large challenge. And worth more laughter and frustrated "ughs" followed by long arduous sighs and more laughter. And it feels great to get organized and get rid of clutter. (And to conquer the task of moving a trailer) I've also spent time giving things away to family and friends and making a run to goodwill.

And of course, time for salsa, to de-stress and stay motivated. I've been blessed with time to salsa for several nights. And loving learning more - even when I don't get it ... just trying over and over again is fun. Especially with partners willing to forgive or try it again. And being with friends who enjoy something in common is a great thing. And I love meeting new people.

One more week and I will be in Greenville (if things work out with the apartment complex-- pray for that if you would -they left a message wanting more time to replace some carpet. I can't wait :) And God blessed me with getting off an hour early tonight and as exhausted as I was I must admit I skipped out to get home and relax. Well I'm off to bed. I'll post pictures of my room of boxes where I am storing everything for the week. Here are a few pics before packing

Hope you are all feeling as blessed by God's joyful hands in your life protecting and providing for your needs.

House preperations -- Who knew it would be so shocking?

Why is it that all the house fixing up projects make me laugh. I did not think I would turn out to be painting so much at the end. My third bedroom/bonus room now is officially done (except for replacing the outlet covers and removing paint parofinalia). I finished door frame painting in the last two days and now just have the hallway and laundry room to finish painting. But the job just couldn't get finished without some laughter at my own expense.

So what was I laughing at you ask... Well let me set the scene. I worked 12.5 hours to come home at 11pm tired but satisfied and wanting to knock out two house projects. -I just wanted to finish two doorways getting their final layers of paint and install my light/ceiling fan fixture before going to bed. No problem right. Well about midnight I got to the light/fan fixture. Following previous protocol (learned the hard way after shocking myself during a previous installation) I turned off the braker and arranged a flashlight to shine upwards as installation began. I proceeded to drop about 15 screws while attempting to attach the intiial parts to the ceiling. Each time looking down for the screws to only be momentarily blinded by the flashlight shining straigh up towards the celing, while simultaneiously trying to step down off the step stool to find the screws in the dark on the floor.
Finally I attached all the wires and decided to flip the breaker and check if things were properly wired prior to installing the final screws. (I was so proud to have remembered that from a previous attempt.) And thankfully learned I had incorrectly wired the motor and was able to change it with no need for additional screw exchanges. But somewhere in the process the breaker was switched on and off until I achieved proper wiring.

It was now bordering on 1am and I was tiring out and reconsidering this late night install on numerous occasions. But finally success!! Everything worked!!! Tim had trained me well enough and wired in the box properly so that I was able to do it. And with only minor adjustments. The pride and excitement flooded me with enough energy to decide to complete the task. In my excitement I moved the motor to install the base, and a wiring nut came loose. -- What to do -- why just grab that wire and reattach it now right? -- Well thats when it struck me.--literally and physically. The wire was live -- and did I get a jolt of electricity. To add to the misfortune.... I was standing on a metal step stool and didn't really ground until I let go and stumbled off the ladder only to see the motor start to swing wildly above my head as I scrambled to the breaker to flip it off and back to the motor to try and stabilize it back on the hook before it could come down on my head. I began to laugh -- my arm was still feeling the buzz and tingle of that shock, but it could have been worse right? -- I could have had that motor fall and hit me on the head like in the cartoons. One more homeowners lesson -- remember to rethink touching wires and doing electrical installing while physically exhausted. Time to craw into bed by 2am and get some sleep

It's official..... I am blessed!

Okay, the last blog I hinted at something while saying God has opened up a door for me. Its now official so I can explain.... I got a new job!!! In Greenville, SC!!!
Okay so for those who know the details I decided to break it down so you can skim what info you want... I am going to share details to explain how God has provided for every little detail.. I feel like a princess who does what she is suppose to and things are working out so smoothly for me.

Background info. My younger sister lives in Greenville with her husband and son and is due to deliver her daughter in mid March. I have been going to Greenville for a year and a half to go to my church down there and became a member a year ago.

Since December 2006 I felt like God was promising to open up doors to move me to Greenville and to introduce me to special people in my life (including my future husband -- okay so let me say I wouldn't normally say that but I am learning to speak God's promises so that when He answers those promises He gets the praise). I told some close family and friends that I felt he was promising to have me working and living in Greenville by the end of February or beginning of March 2008.... Fast forward....
Decemeber 2008... I spent the summer mailing out resumes and tracking any future jobs that would follow my prayer requests for a healthy lifestyle (weekday hours without holidays and weekends -- very rare to find in medicine) By December my anxiety was climbing... I had been doing everything I could to make contacts for jobs and interviewed for one only to be disappointed with the job situation and salary offer. Nothing I did was working. And I began to struggle to have faith for God to follow through with His promise. I admit I am still weak. But still speaking and praying for it as much as I could. I knew that it would probably take about 2 months to get my South Carolina license and I calculated that I needed a job offer with a physician's signature to even start the process. So I had calculated that I needed a job offer by the end of December. I again sent out about 70 cover letters and resumes. Still no response. December 31st came and I grieved my lack of knowledge about what God was going to do in the upcoming year and questioned if I was hearing God's voice correctly....but God filled me with a peace that night that He had things in hand and made me wander how.

ENTER GOD'S HAND... One of my drives to Greenville one day I heard a message on Faith. And the pastor challenged people to spend time recalling what God has done for you in the past to help you build your faith for future things. Since that was were I was struggling I heard it deep in my spirit. And I remembered that the last time I had searched for a job God did it at the last possible second and gave me direction to apply for the right position and opened the job and offer and sold my house within a week of it being on the market. All things on a much faster time table than normal and I felt a sudden revelation -- God can work things out much faster than the world's typical time expectation. And He has waited to do that with me in the past to put me in a place of sheer desperation and dependence on Him.-- One reason it forces me to grow in my Faith and Second -- He gets the glory. I felt like He was wanting me to remember that. That same week I was doing one of my daily web searches for a job and I saw a position at Shriner Hospital working for a pediatric orthopedic group in Greenville. I emailed the HR person my resume on Friday January 4th. I left him a voice mail requesting some further info on Saturday. Monday the 7th he called me back and let me know he forwarded it to the physicians but that it may be another week until I heard further from them and they would interview for a week or two probably before making a decision. My heart was hopeful, but I started calculating and still could notnlogistically see how this job would fit God's promised time frame. That same afternoon, I recieved a call requesting to arrange an interview. I interviewed on January 9th, for the position and requested if they were interested in hiring me to allow me to observe in clinic one day. They called me on January 10th to try to arrange for me to observe in clinic the following Tuesday. (Just to explain -- I was scheduled to be off work for the interview so I could do it easily without raising any questions, but I was scheduled to work Tuesday, Jan 15th) I prayed about it and called the other PA to request the first half of my day off on Tuesday and prayed he wouldn't ask for details. -- He was willing and didn't ask for details. So I went to clinic on Tuesday. I really enjoyed meeting yet another physician and thought I would enjoy the job. Now I was getting excited. They seemed genuinely interested in me and it was a Mon-Friday job - no weekends, no holidays right in the middle of Greenville. Working with kids with special needs in a setting where all the medical expenses are covered by the Shriners group. I prayed to hear a job offer by Friday even though I knew they were still interviewing others. Thursday night around 5:45 pm on January 17th I got the job offer. I accepted the offer and was blessed that I had the following week off to make arranging all the paperwork needed to get my hospital priveledges and state license in order as well as get my health screen and drug test and meeting with the HR department underway. Still while remaining confidential because I didn't have a start date and didn't want to reveal things to my current job. I was down there daily this week. While down there I started looking into apartments this week still praying for early March for a start date. Thursday, January 24th while in the new office, my new boss announced that they can hire me to start immediately since they want time to have me observe and educate me about all the specialty care that they provide-- prior to getting my license. So I told him I need to give my current job 3-4 weeks notice..... Guess what that means?... I can start the last week in February..... GOD DOES FOLLOW THROUGH ON HIS PROMISES... So thankfully I had checked out several apartments already since I wanted to move in before I start. I put in my application for an apartment today to start to move February 16th. I also arranged to meet with a realtor to help sell my house for next Saturday. I have spent this week trying to furiously pack and paint downstairs to get this house ready to sell it. I still need to finish painting and have tons of packing. But as God has answered all my requests to this point. I have enlarged my faith and am praying for my house to get a contract within a very short time (I am praying and beliving for the impossible in a difficult market -- to get a contract within the first 2-3 weeks of being on the market). I am also praying to finish painting this week (while continuing to work 10-12 hour days) and to get a chance to get organized with the stuff I want to give away. An exhausting task. Tonight I stopped and got tons of free boxes from Barnes and Noble-- thanks to the friendly employee who said I could help myself. I love it when God arranges things for free-- even the little things like boxes. (having moved in the past I've learned to ask and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't I checked two places and got tons at Barnes and Noble. And I am also praying for assistance with a move. So anyone who wants to come out and help move the weekend of February 16-17th please let me know -- the more the merrier -- and the more the easier.

Okay so I am excited, and blessed and glowing with excitement and anticipation to see how God will take care of each of the future details. But I just had to testify to God's amazing hand of provision and to acknowledge that HE HAD TO DO IT. Because when was the last time you have heard someone get a job offer within 2 weeks of applying and offer to start within 4 weeks of applying. Let me tell you, in the medical world that is unheard of. How crazy and wonderful it is to be a child of God.

LIFE IS GOOD

I prayed for snow while I was still here in my log cabin -- Guess what~! God is good and blessed me with 3-4 inches. It was so pretty I ran out in my scrubs and stocking feet to take a few pictures. After the wet and cold set in I decided to trade my wet socks for a pair of shoes and kept trying to get a few pics. Until the snowy breeze and falling sleet began to cause a chill. I love that feeling.

Its winter and beautiful. The snow and ice capturing details and freezing them in an encapsulated crystal sheath. It brings light and details to even the most ordinary things. Have you ever noticed how beautiful a simple brown branch, barren for the winter, can look encased in an icy layer? Or the pines of an everglade? The sunlight glittering off it. Highlighted in its mundane form to be admired now because of the accents of light. God does such a great job at creating beautiful moments.

And I have more good news. God has opened another door that I've been praying for. Now I need to pray for organizational skills and for all the details to make walking through that door smooth. (more details in the future :))

A new year...

As I've started this year I've been yearning and furiously praying, hoping,and believing (especially after a challenging word from friends, family and pastors)for alot from this year. I am believing that my Father will supply my needs, knows the desires of my heart and has led me to have these desires... And I want to say at the beginning of this year... I am thanking God for every need he has supplied already. I am going to speak into words my belief that he will continue to bless me -- meet my needs above and beyond what I deserve. He wasn't surprised by my earnest requests and He has already put into place the things He needs to happen to supply for me. And I just want to thank Him already for his blessings he has done for me, and is doing, and will do for me...

As I was praying tonight and searching scriptures for more words to strengthen my faith I decided to check out a different translation (after reading some verses from it on another friends blog.) May it encourage each of you, as it did me, as you begin this new year, and consider the year ahead of you.

1 Peter 1:17-19 (The Message)

17You call out to God for help and he helps—he's a good Father that way. But don't forget, he's also a responsible Father, and won't let you get by with sloppy living.

18-21Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. It cost God plenty to get you out of that dead-end, empty-headed life you grew up in. He paid with Christ's sacred blood, you know. He died like an unblemished, sacrificial lamb. And this was no afterthought. Even though it has only lately—at the end of the ages—become public knowledge, God always knew he was going to do this for you. It's because of this sacrificed Messiah, whom God then raised from the dead and glorified, that you trust God, that you know you have a future in God.
