What a week...

I am not even sure where to begin with this week....very fun, good, long, crazy busy, humbling, exhausting, greatful, thankful week (well that is just about every week for us - but kinda hit me today!) School is QUICKLY coming to an end and now I am praying what I am to do next. But for the meantime I was offered a job at an OB/Gyn office that is in my building I currently work at. I had accepted the job and done all that I can do for now until I graduate. It was a part-time job with them basically saying I was guaranteed 24 hours a week but will most likely always get 40 hours....to only be offered today a Full-time position in my office that I currently work in. I would love the OB/Gyn office becaue I ultimately want to work in labor and delivery and go back working with the military, but the full-time part of the job kinda won me in. So Praise God for having a job already lined up because I did find out that they are doing away with LPN's at the hospital in which my school is through...so long story short, I will start applying for the military jobs once I get my license, but at least have a job lined up for the time being....even though there may be a demand for nurses, being an LPN will not get me just any nursing job, so I am praying about that and going on for my RN....but we will see what the Lord has in store for us!
On another random note...I am in just awe or shock or I really can not even think of a word to explain it. BUT I had a mother call me today at work wanting to start her 13 year old...YES 13, yes 1-3 year old on birth control because she is sexually active. We have this all the time in our office, 12 or 13 year olds wanting birth control or are already pregnant, but everytime I talk to a mom or even the patient I am just like WHOA - can I have a little chat with you. J and I were talking about it when I got home because I am always very disturbed about it....and we were like when did these young people start doing stuff like this - because that was definitely not even an incliniation in my mind at that age. What kind of society do these kids live in now? What are the parents doing for these kids and are they involved in their lives? There are many many questions I have and wonder about when I see or talk to these patients. CRAZINESS! My mind is still blown away as I type this and all I can do is pray for them and pray that the very little contact I have with them as a soon to be nurse - may I leave His light with them.
I have many stories as these that I can tell in which I leave work praising God for my health, my parents, my husband, and the way I was raised, the many blessings that I so do not deserve but the Lord has still blessed us with and for know the Lord and being able to lean on Him during tough times or just any time!!
So may you all not take one day for granted, one relationship or experience for granted because the Lord has a reason for it all!
We hope you all had a wonderful week and pray your weekend is a restful one!!

Sorry for my rambling in this post.....
