A New Path
How the Lord leads our life through turns and twists. If we want to live in peace, we need to be willing to follow that path and try not to take our own path. I desire to live my life for the Lord Jesus Christ, without questioning his leading.
Since I last wrote many things have changed, hence the turns and twists on my path. At the beginning of the year I made it my new years resolution to not procrastinate in my life anymore. I made a list of things I had been putting off. It is amazing what a new year can do for the will. I quickly set out and made many new and productive changes. It was amazing how easy it was. I love checking things off a list!!
By the time April 1st came around I was very frustrated again. I had started working full time at the pharmaceutical research company, my hours were unmanageable (my schedule changed on a daily basis), I was trying to self study microbiology (which I think is impossible), the completion of my RN was looking too far away, living with my parents permanently was looking more like a reality than I was willing to admit. I literally felt like I was having a mental meltdown. So, I did something I have never done in my life....I quit my job without giving any notice. I just e-mailed my resignation. Then I spent a whole weekend praying about what I was suppose to do. And then it just came to me. The Lord was speaking to me about going to massage therapy school. It was amazing how his peace just overwhelmed me. At first it seemed so far off track, but then, as it sunk in, it made so much sense. I had gone into nursing school because I wanted to be able to help people in a practical way. I wanted to be able to serve people. But as I started thinking about all the health benefits massage offers and how I could actually combine my experience as a nurse with massage, this path just became so clear. So, I started massage school one week later and I haven't been happier. I am finding that my nursing background is actually benefiting me in school. My instructor is also a chiropractor and brings with him a wealth of holistic healthcare experience. It is truly amazing how the Lord has leads.

LOL I ran across your blog while doing a search on Penske trucks! Then I got interested in your blog and kept reading! I was reading about how God allowed your house to sell quickly to show you that you were supposed to move, and couldn't believe how exact your situation is to mine! We will be moving form VA on the 17th of this month and heading home to CA. I'm so excited. Our house sold immediately in this semi-depressed market when many houses are sitting on the market, the housing market has crashed in CA, so we will have our choice of homes, and out of three drama teaching jobs available in CA, one of them was right down the freeway from our home town! My husband was offered the job the day he interviewed! God is wonderful how he confirms his plans to those who will trust his leading, and then works it all out. Anyway, I'm glad you are happy with the love of yourlife now and that that happiness in Jesus remains srong and true all of your life. Oh...and another thing....we'll also have a blue parakeet in our penske...and a pug dog. im sure it's going to be a long, long drive. smiles! Kathy
