Realizations, a rough patch and I'll be home for Christmas
Folks, last week was bad. It was just bad, but thank God we all made it through. I was talking to a co worker when it was all over and she said that it was a similar environment to a state hospital. Yeah, it was bad. Like I said, the badness has since resolved, and we all were able to seek a bit of respite from the chaos as things for the time being have seemed to slow down a little. I also had a realization the other night; if I didn't put in for an extension, this would have been my last week here. Isn't that wild?! I'd be looking to pack up my apartment and move back to Richmond, awaiting what assignment would be next. I've put in for some spots already just to mull over once I'm finished at the end of next month, and I looked and saw some openings in Kentucky again, so hopefully I'll still get to be a little closer to home. It's hard to believe how fast 13 weeks have gone and how close I was to packing it all up for the sake of feeling lonely and homesick. I'm happy to say that I haven't felt lonely or homesick for a very long time, and it took a lot of praying and seeking God in that time to bring me to where I am now.
I'm also happy to say that for the first time in 2 years I'll be home for Christmas! It'll be the first time since 2013 that I'll be with my parents and family on Christmas day. 2014 I had to work the day after Christmas and last year I worked Christmas day, so yeah, I'm especially looking forward to it this year!! I'm actually for the most part finished with my shopping, so that's a big weight off my shoulders. I was writing in my journal last night and I was just thankful to God that I have a decent paying job to where I don't have to worry about not having enough money to buy Christmas presents for everyone. I can't wait to be with my parents and give them what I have; they have done so much for me in my life and nothing in the world can repay them, but I sure as heck can give them a nice Christmas. There's much in the world to be happy and thankful for, folks, all you need to do is seek it.
