A Great Year

 Monday, February 14, 2011

This year has been amazing so far.  God has been completely faithful and proven, yet again, that He is in complete control.  Not only have I been blessed with wonderful friends and a great family, but God's timing has been perfect.

This week's sermon at church was about contentment in every circumstance God places you in.  The verses we went over were Philippians 4:10-20.  More specifically, Philippians 4:13, "I can do everything through him who gives me strength."  As was taught on Sunday, this verse isn't a promise that we will be successful in anything we attempt because "God promised we can do all things through Him".  This verse speaks to the truth that if we put our hope and joy in Jesus Christ as our Lord, we can do all things because God is our strength.  When we become weak, He is strong.

At this present moment, life is good.  I recently passed my WI State Statute exam to become a Certified Advanced Practice Social Worker.  In order to be certified nationally, I need to take one other exam.  I'm hoping to take the final exam sometime in March.

In addition to passing the State exam, I also got offered a position at Children's Hospital as a medical social worker!  I'm so excited.  I knew that the position would be available sometime soon, but wasn't positive the timing would work out for me to apply and get the position.  Thankfully, God's timing was perfect and I had my temporary social work certification and official transcript just in time for the interview.

With the exception of posting about the position on this blog, I am trying to keep the news a bit of a secret for now since I haven't officially started yet.  I have to go in to the hospital on Wednesday to do some paperwork, but my official start date will be February 22nd.  :)

So, all in all, things have been really good for me lately.  I'm just continuing to pray that the Lord will guard my heart for the right guy and hopefully lead me to my future husband soon!  So far, I'm being patient and waiting for God's perfect timing in this aspect of my life as well.
