New Beginnings

So much has happened in the past 2 months! I have failed at blogging more often like I had planned for my last blog. While I was in NanTucket I did begin to accomplish my goal of reading the Book of Mormon daily. I have been reading it at least 3 times a week, if not every day. What a difference life has been when its started off right! I love learning from the prophets and applying their wisdom to my life right now! It is amazing how what they say I can use in my life now even though they wrote this wisdom years and years ago! My suggestion on reading scripture material.. have a notebook journal, work through what you're reading by disecting what is being said to you! It makes it all make more sense.
  With this new found love for the scriptures I have been having A LOT of faith and trust in my Heavenly Father's plan for me. When I got back from NanTucket I didn't have a job, but I had to spend A LOT of time studying for my TEAS test again. I feel okay with how everything went. "Do your best and God will do the rest" Its a new motto of mine that some friends, a dear cousin, and other family has been telling me for the past few months. I had to do everything for myself, but trust that God will step in if I continue having faith in his plan for me. I feel like I have been exercising great faith in my Savior and Heavenly Father. As well as studying I have been in the process of finding a new job. I was fairly secure in thinking I could get a job at a home health agency in town that had ties to my old job. I had an impromptu interview and they called me a few days later to come back in and meet with them. For different reasons I couldn't make it in to the time they wanted, so I had rescheduled the meeting for Monday. All weekend I prayed, fasted, and thought hard about what was best for me. I had another application barely into the hospitals system which I wanted a lot more than the home health job.. I decided I couldn't base everything thing on a "what if" basis; however, I did decide that home health was not the option for me at this time in my life. For whatever reason I just couldn't see myself doing it right now. I called the home health care office and told them right now it wasn't for me, and they said in the future if I became interested I would be able to be considered for that job. I was so relieved that it went so well! A few days later I got a call from the hospital to have an interview in their department. I was extremely nervous, I haven't interviewed in about 5 years, but after the interview the manager told me I interviewed very well!


    I am now official! I got my badge and everything! I had to sit through 2 full days of orientation to get this thing.. Continue to be prayerful and trusting in the Lord daily! I hope those, if any of you, read my blog remember to "Do your best, and God will do the rest". I love my Savior, my Heavenly Father, and I am beyond excited to start on this new adventure in my life. Thank you for any prayers on my behalf throughout the past few weeks/months. I appreciate all of the support from my family and friends!
