The long months of waiting are finally over!
I am employed! Hallelujah! I will be working on the Neuro stepdown unit at The Medical Center of Plano beginning October 18. What a blessing! And what more, the hospital is only 10 minutes away from my house! I'm overjoyed and thankful to all the supportive people who have lifted their prayers for me. God's timing is so utterly perfect that it knocks the wind right out of me.
My parents are in town now, which has been most pleasant. They will be preparing to leave for Indonesia as soon as their visas come in from the Indonesian Embassy in Washington D.C. One aspect I'm especially happy about is that my mom has been cooking for us.
October is Danish's favorite month. Not only is his birthday coming up on the 12th, but the cool weather brings much relief from the Texas heat, there's football, bustling activity, I'll be
working, Halloween, and lots of outdoor activities - bike rides, frisbee, dog parks, long walks! Just two weeks ago, I was mournful of summer leaving...I had been listening to songs which I felt captured the sadness and loneliness one may feel as the remnants of a golden summer slip away, only to turn into a forlorn fall. I still had faith that God would provide and things would be alright even if I didn't have a job. But my, my what a refreshing change it is to no longer feel the anxiety of inevitable change and involuntary forward motion that fall usually brings. I know, I'm quite dramatic.
