(Still) Holding on to the Ride

Life. Such a small word with such an immense meaning. It can be difficult to find the balance between simply living life to survive and living life to actually live. To enjoy the moment. To totally focus on Christ and how to best serve Him in the here and now. I keep having ups and downs in that arena...

So, things have been (very) crazy as of late, as my few and far between posts may indicate. This week is finals week at college, so I actually (which doesn't make much sense) have a few minutes to do a blog post...One can only study so long on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Be prepared for a few selfies...

Before I bombard you with pictures, though, let me overwhelm you with wordiness...

As my current reader(s) know, I decided to hold off graduating from high school an extra year so I could get work experience through an internship in a medical setting. Through the skills center I attended, I was placed (first) in the medical organization's forms department. For four months, I scanned, filed, and faxed in a cubicle for hours on end. It was a great experience, the ladies I worked with were very nice, and I am very thankful for it; however, as 1st semester was concluding,  I knew I did not want to intern there for another four months -- I learned that doing paperwork and not seeing people was not for me. 

I nearly dropped out of the skills center at this point to graduate high school at the beginning of the year. BUT, the medical organization I was interning at found an opening for an intern in the physical therapy reception department and I ended up staying the rest of the school year. Best. Choice. Ever. God is so, so good. I loved working in PT reception.

Now, four months after nearly giving up, I am going to be starting as an official (per diem at this point) employee at the physical therapy office. I met with my other employers, and they are both willing to work with my new, unpredictable schedule.  SO excited and a bit nervous. Going to school full-time with three jobs is a bit hectic. God is good though, and so far I am surviving (and trying to actually live in the moment). God has done so many amazing things through all of this and worked out all confusingness with nearly unbelievable results, which would take about ten years to write into a blog post.

Okay, I'm done...Pictures:

Philippians 4:4-7, "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing,but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let  your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
