10. Working second shift, kinda loving this, not the hours, new people, less supervisor, less stress I think.

12. Barnyard the cartoon on Nickelodeon. It makes me laugh. This is the new Sunday morning cartoon.

13. Getting to sleep an extra hour in the morning, even if I do go to bed later because of second shift.

14. Going to school again. I love learning new things, especially things that interest me like this does.

15. My new old American Eagle pants that I found in the closet. I forgot about them, it is so exciting it is like new clothes that I can actually wear!

I thought it would be fun to share some things I am loving right now the list could go on of course. See what you can come up with.

In Christ Service

Wonderful Weekend

Hi all, hope all is well. I had a minute so I thought I would stop by. We had a wonderful weekend in God's house. Jesse preached at the youth meeting at Calvary and it was wonderful, he preached in power and the singing was a blessing. Stay at home mommy did a wonderful job on the food. The whole meeting on Saturday was a blessing to my heart, even the singing in the choir. It is always good to get a chance to fellowship with the special people at Calvary. I love all the hugs and words of encouragement. Sunday was a wonderful day at our home church as well. Jesse preached another message in the Series Saving Jesus, it was actually the final one, I have really enjoyed and grown in the Lord while listening and learning from these messages. I just thank God for my husband and his desire to serve the Lord and serve me as my husband. Even though times are not always easy at our house I know that he will always be there and never leave me. I love you Jesse!

We also got a chance to fellowship with some of the folks at Bethlehem on Sunday after church. We had alot of fun and enjoyed the good time of fellowship. Sunday night I got to spend time with my bestest, Stay at Home Mommy, and her lovely family. Jesse and I got to play with Clayton and the girls, Lindsey and Natalie. It was so much fun! It is always great to see the world through the eyes of a three year old. Lindsey decided to be like her mommy and underline words in her Bible and then she wanted to take notes like Jesse and then she helped me come up with stuff for our Bible School. Natalie has also become an astounding climber since I last saw her, we are talking tall mountainous chairs and tables. Clayton is just awesome as always. Well I think that is enough from me for now! I love you all and please continue to pray for the Carswells and the Avery bunch and me and CNA.

CNA is kinda HARD

Hi all, sorry once again for the delay in blogging. It happens sometimes. First I would like to say thank you too all of you who have been praying for my sister and her children, please do not stop. Her case was heard today and she will not have to be away from her children, God is good. Her spiritual needs are still at the top of the list and ask that you do not stop praying. Jesse preached a powerful message on Wednesday about letting God take control and not trying to fix things yourself, it really hit home for me. Also, as you all know the Carswell's have gotten some difficult news about baby Plum formerly know as Bean and this has been on my heart all week. (I am a worrier for anyone who did not know.) Please continue to pray.

Now to the super exciting and not stressful news. I started CNA on Monday and it is alot more book work and home work than first anticipated. I thought it would be all about the clinical but apparently my teachers plan is to weed out everyone who thinks this is an easy job. I have already had to write two papers and had tons of homework to fit into the schedule. But all that aside I LOVE IT! I think I finally did it, decided what I want to be when I grow up. A NURSE! Everything about the job interest me, yes even the icky, sad, and gross parts. I know that Jesse is thanking God that this one has apparently stuck! Sorry that I have not been a good friend, this week life just got so busy all of a sudden some how. I LOVE YOU ALL!

Ephesians 4
1I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ

My Hubby is Home and life Is Good!

So the title of my blog, What a Crazy Blessed Life, took on new meaning last night at around 8:30 pm. If you have ventured over to Nikki's blog you know all about how she saved the day. It also made us all realize one more time how our steps are ordered by the Lord and that it was by His Will that we were there and Nikki was able to save a life. I think that it showed how humble and filled with the Spirit that Nikki is when all of those people were coming up and telling her how great she did and she gave all the credit and glory to the Lord I think that is a true testimony. Thank you Nik for living God all the time it helps me to try harder to be Christ like.

Also, last night and oh so exciting the beautiful and fun Jamie Lynn got the most beautiful prom dress which would be nothing without her beautiful self to go in it. I had so much fun getting to go shopping with the girls to pick out something so special for Jamie, I am glad that you decided to go to prom you will not regret it. Oh, do not forget keep the properties covered and your head up, shoulders back, and the party does not start until you arrive. (PICTURES AS SOON AS PROM IS OVER AND YOU ARE HOME!)

Jesse is home, yippie! The house has been so quite and clean, mostly quite. It has been a good busy week but I missed my hubby. The cats have been going insane, louder than normal, messing in stuff, and sleeping in the bed with me. I think that it flips them out because Jesse has been gone and they feel the need to love me and sleep with me. It was nice but nothing like my Jesse. I also enjoyed staying with my mom and daddy and spending time with them.

From what I hear they had a good meeting and Jesse was happy to be home. All the good folks at Bethlehem missed Jesse and are ready to have their Pastor back. Thank you to everyone who took time out of their week to entertain me so I would not get to lonely with out my other half. I love you guys and it is such a blessing to have special friends and family in my life.

It is a Good day, It is a Good day!

So the blog by Simply Donna motivated me to vent a little today. I also work in the medical field and I will do you one better I work in the ER of a county hospital. Is it ok if I vent for a second?
1. People call in all the time just cause they think they need too. So that means that I have to register 80% of all the outpatient charts at CMH today.
2. The people that I work around and with are kinda flighty, I mean I know that I can be too, but must we freak out all the time.
3. I am amazed at the fact that patients come in and have no clue what they are here for, what their doctors name is, what is hurting or giving them problems, or if they have insurance. ( No these are not old senile patients, these are people my age some of which I know.)
4. "I need your insurance card and photo id every time that you come in." "Why?" "Just to torture you!" I do not want to see your insurance card just for fun I get no reward for copying it and I do not care if you drivers licences picture looks bad. Just hand it over peaceably.
5. When I ask for your current mailing address, that means the place that you get your mail now, not what it use to be 15 years ago.
6. Please do not have a cow when I ask you for money, it is not my fault and I try to do it as nicely as I can, all you have to say is I do not have it.
7. If I do not have an order or a proper order it is not my fault do not yell at me yell at your wonderful MD or his staff that cannot properly fill out the form that is self explanatory. They can even do it on the computer in most cases and it tells you what boxes to fill out.
8. No my desk is not a trash can and no I do not want to throw away your tissue or your puke bag or the gauze that you had on your bloody finger. I actually had a woman eat an ice cream cone right in front of me one day tryng to get registered for an xray. On the same day I had a man eat a big mac while registering his son for surgery, and then ask me to throw his trash away. (Is this the hospital or the park really people?!?) There is a trash can right beside of you.

I digress, I am thankful that I have a job to complain about and I also really like my job, the environment is just kinda stressful sometimes. Thank you for letting me vent.
