Micah 6:6-8

"But he's already made it plain how to live, what to do, what GOD is looking for in men and women. It's quite simple: Do what is fair and just to your neighbor, be compassionate and loyal in your love, And don't take yourself too seriously-take God seriously."

I'm back...

Hooray for us!!! We finally have the Internet at our house. I can rejoin civilization and be a part of life again. It's so funny that we moved to a huge city, but without Internet, I felt more isolated then I did in Iowa. Anyways, most of you know we weren't getting Internet until I have a job. So...obviously, I got a job. God totally set this up. I'm going to be joining Megan with Hospice. I'll be working as a PRN social worker for hospice. This is ideal for me because I get to tell them when I'm available to work. This is a huge hospice, with over 1,000 patients currently, so they need the help. They tell me that they will most likely be able to schedule me when I want to work. I'm excited and nervous. I went into social work so I could work at hospice. Now that the opportunity is here, I'm a little scared. But, I'm also looking forward to walking people through the only thing we all have in common in this life. I ask for your prayers as I learn. There are five offices, four houses, and a triage location, so I have a lot to learn. Any advice Megan???
As for being here, we are liking it. Natalie threw her first official tantrum the other day. It lasted longer then 30 minutes and carried over into three rooms. Every time I left the room to ignore her, she stopped crying walked to me so she knew I could see her, then threw herself back down and screamed. It was lovely. My mom tells me that persistence is an admirable quality to have. I'll appreciate it more when she is persistently doing something productive. :-) Chris is great and loving it here. It feels like home to him and I can tell he is good. Without corn pollen to be allergic to, he is exercising, losing weight, and moving forward. I didn't realize how bad he felt in Iowa until we were here for a while. However, to all you Iowa folks, we do miss you terribly. I still wish we could have moved you with us. I look forward to heaven for many reasons, one of which is so that we can finally be all together. I'll update with pics soon. Have a great day of worship tomorrow. God is good!
