2015: Out of the doubt into trust

My first post of the new year! I'm also about to enter my second full year at my job too. I have my performance evaluation on Wednesday, and I'm anticipating it will go a lot better than the last one. 2 write ups on my record as of this year (this past Saturday to be more exact) are gone; here's to hoping that this year I won't get any! I have to come up with two goals for what I want for this year; I've come up with one and have yet to come up with the other...which is what I plan on doing tomorrow on my last day off before my stretch of working days begins. To be honest, I really don't know what to expect in the upcoming year. I've teetered with the idea of maybe doing something else on a part-time or PRN basis (sis has helped me look into something with AmeriCorp perhaps). Maybe this year I'll win Employee of the Month; I've had 4 nominations in 2014 (found out just now was nominated twice in December). Also looking forward to starting my formal training with the IDD youth program. IDD stands for Intellectually Developmentally Disabled; our primary focus in Autism. I may have mentioned this in an earlier post, but I was specifically asked if I would be interested in training. I said I was....having already been paired with one of the youth twice. Let's just say, I have a new found love and respect for those who care for these very special kids and teenagers.

This will be a good year for me; I have a good feeling about it! It's a chance to start over with a clean slate, really. No write-ups; no flubs, and a chance to just continue to improve on what I have already improved on. Continued thanks be to God that I have continued to excel and have made it where I am today. 2014 started out a bit rough but got a lot better. A LOT better! The way I see it is this; I think 2015 can only get better. And by God's good grace it will. He has continued to show Himself through this line of work in ways I never would have imagined. Sometimes I sit back and wonder "is this for real? Am I really doing THIS?" I could have done anything I wanted, and sometimes I think about what else is out there for me. Do I want to do this for the rest of my life? Honestly I'm not sure. I mean I'm happy for now, but I'm trusting that if God wants something else for me He'll make the way. But for now, I'm happy. Quite happy.
