PULLED OVER AND READY TO QUIT

Well I got pulled over this morning, I was drifting, I was tired, I seem to get tired at the same point each morning it is always the last 20 min of my drive. Well this is pretty much how my morning began. Pulled over on the side of the road by a very nice officer who thought I might be tired or drunk, well officer I do not drink, since I leave my house at 5:30am each morning headed for a 80 min drive I will go with tired. I did not get a ticket or any other trouble he just thought I should take a moment to stretch my legs and wake up a bit. Well I don’t know about you but getting pulled over will pretty much wake me up no need to stretch those legs anymore. J I was pretty flustered when it all happened. I am so tired of driving I really am, I am tired of getting to work and feeling half dead. Then turning around and driving home and then repeating it each day. I just want to cry...oh wait I already am. L I know I said I would be ok if I did not get this job but I am not sure how much longer I can do this. I have been praying for God to help me get through all of this frustration and such, but I feel like the more I pray the harder it is and the more tired I get.

Couples Dinner

The Bridge had a handful of students that are in dating relationships, Josh and I thought it would be fun to have a couples’ night that included these students. So we had our first Bridge couples dinner. It was lots of fun we had each couple bring a dish; Josh and I took care of bread and meat. Dinner was very tasty. After dinner we played a modified Newly Wed game. So funny!! I think everyone really enjoyed themselves, it was fun!

BATTLE OF THE BANDS

A couple of our students at the Bridge (Danny and Spencer) have a Christian Rock/Thrash Band. They entered a battle of the bands competition. They made it to the second round so Josh and I decided we would go to support. I am not huge concert fan or thrash music…now that I truly know what it is. Their band was good; some of the others were harder to understand. Josh and I had not eaten dinner and felt really old so we went to Crackle Barrel with Brian and his girlfriend; we went from the oldest in the room to the youngest. Congrats Boys the band made it through to the next round! 

GOODBYE HAIR

I have been debating getting my hair cut…well today I did it, I chopped it all off or most of it.

Drama

Really can’t we all get along?

Chipotle

We had a birthday party for Jess and Chad, Chipotle themed. Most of the gifts were wrapped in chipotle paper or bags, and the cake oh how much fun!! Happy Birthday Guys!

CSN

Back from spring break and now a new project for the CSNs. I sat in meeting after meeting this week attempting to learn about a system that will be used for outpatient billing, I work with the inpatient (very different). Never less I will be training a group of people on this new system, but first I have to understand how this system will be used and why, etc. oh such a long process.

SPRING BREAK

Such a great week it is always a blessing to see our students step up and serve.

February was a busy short month. Spring Break and midterms will be here very soon. We are very excited for our Spring Break Mission Trip (March 5th- March 13th); we will be heading to Baltimore, Maryland. We will be working in the inner city doing various outreaches. We have approximately 35-40 students signed up to attend. Please be in prayer for the team as they travel (by vans) during this week. Pray for everyone that we encounter, that they see the love and hope that is available in Christ. Also we ask that each person on this trip be forever and radically changed. As we have reached the midpoint of the semester many of the students are making plans for the summer. We pray that God will be the center of these decisions. Please pray that they will be willing to follow God’s call with a joyous heart. Please continue to be in prayer for the upcoming summer as we work to figure out a plan for summer Clubhouse and Vacation Bible School. We will need many volunteers, please pray that God will provide the workers that we need and that they have a heart for the children. Thank you for your prayers and support!
