Prayer...

I just wanted to ask all of you out there...if anyone even reads this...for prayer for my family. My dad is going in to get his radiation seeds put in on Thursday and he isn't too excited for it. But it needs to be done. He's going to start radiation at the beginning of November. He will do external treatments for 25 days and then they will do internal treatments. Its just a real different experience for our family to go through together. We are strong and have God on our side but a little extra help doesn't hurt.

Also, I'm in the process of moving back into my parents house and I'm trying to get it done this week before my dad starts treatment and won't really be able to help much with fixing up the basement since he's the one who wanted to fix it up so I could move back in. So I guess just prayers that we can get it done this week.

What's Next...

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I'm going to do when I finish school, which isn't for awhile for me, but still I can't help but wonder what will be next. I want to move to a bigger area but not too big and even though I love Nebraska, I'd like to move out of state.

One desire I have is to teach in inner-city schools. And I was thinking where exactly would I do that. I was thinking about the places I have been and places I want to go. One place that I love is Pennsylvania. I was only there briefly once after high school and once for a connecting flight. Even though my time there was brief I loved it. I was in Philly. But the place I want to go is Pittsburgh. I just can't stop researching and thinking about this place. I researched schools (inner-city and public), places to live, things to do and churches.

So I don't know if that's a place where God would want me but I know if I would go there He would be with me every bit of the way. And I think if it's some place I shouldn't be then by the time graduation rolls around maybe that desire will be out of my heart. But for right now it burns on.

"Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

It's Been a LONG while...

I realized it has been a while since I have posted something on here.

Well I have been super busy and dealing with a few things in my life lately.

I start job number 3 tomorrow, well the training part of it. I'm doing the mentor program through Panhandle Mental Health. It should be a great job and hopefully it will give me some good experience for when I want to work in inner city schools. It should really help me understand what some families go through.

I've been busy with my other 2 jobs and school. I'm ready for Christmas break already!

I just go back from a Hanson concert yesterday. I had been waiting 13 years to see them!!! And they did not disappoint me!!! I think I love them even more!!!!!!!! Woohoo!!!!

I leave for New York City on Thursday with Kayla and Steph. We are just going to go have some fun! I'm so excited!!! It should be a super great time!!!

Another thing that has happened in the last few months is that my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I think it is really changing the way I look at like and the way my family is together now. I know that we are going to get through this. And my dad will be alright. We have God on our side and we know that whatever happens it's in His plan for us. Great thing is prostate cancer is really easy to take care of! He had a hormone shot about a month ago and will start radiation in a few more weeks. I know my family and I would really appreciate prayers for my dad and us while going through all of this.

I'll try and remember I even have a blog account and try to keep up!!!
