I will have to backtrack and comment on the beautiful wedding I spent the weekend at, but for now, all I can think about is how blessed I am at this place. I love this job. I love the girls and seeing their struggles and their successes. Last night I saw the "real" side of a girl who has been putting on a mask for almost a year. She cried and wanted comfort and wasn't too good to ask for help. I wanted to shout and dance for joy (I did both when I was out of sight.) I love joking with the girls and playing pranks on them (think rubber frog and "seeing a bear" outside of the wash cabin.) I don't think I have danced on a day to day basis at any other time in my life (and you should see me dance....keeps everyone entertained because I know I am horrible! ;))
Sometimes I wonder what I am doing and if I have any idea, but I know God will grace whatever I give him. My boss told me today she would love to hire someone who would work here their whole life, including raising their family here. I would LOVE that, God-willing. We (or maybe just "I am") are not to that point at all now, but I know it is this kind of work that I am called to and I am excited to see what God will do next. Thanks be to God for answered prayers and reward for my months of struggles.
This weekend in Bellingham I realized it is hard being away from my best friends, but am so thankful for friendships that last the distance. See "my photos" for some of my favorite pictures (more to come.) I will also hopefully soon have a picture of Kristine with Mike (imagine that since they were the ones being married!) I am thankful for the ability to see the blessings God has given me....may my eyes continue to be open and able to truely see them!
Please join flickr.com so you can see all my pictures and I can see yours! I also found out this weekend that a lot more people are seeing my blog than I realized! Leave me comments so I know!!! =) It is fun to get mail anyway!
