Spaghetti...

Yes...

That's it...

That's exactly what my brain has felt like for the last week!

There's so much to learn.

I'm glad the trainers are patient.

Learning to use the computer programs is more than a bit challenging. 

I hope to be back to writing soon. 

Condensing a 16 hour day into about 5 hours isn't easy. That's what it feels like to go from being a homemaker, writer, knitter, sewist, and all the other things woman to a working woman who doesn't want to give up any of those things!

And I want to be with my husband, too!

I'm not sure yet what is going to give, but something will have to be lower priority. 

I keep reminding myself that I'm doing this for a season to help us to be in a better place for retirement. I'm going to work on paying off debt and saving money. 

I believe that God called me into this ministry.

It's a Catholic healthcare system. They refer to it as a ministry; and, talk of Jesus is heard often. 

So, I'm going to keep on keeping on. This week will be easier than last week; because, I have last week's learning to build on.

LOL

It will all be good.

Thanks so much for your encouragement and prayers!

I LOVE YOU MONTH... LEARNING

I love learning!

    I love learning new things. Over the years, I've learned to quilt, bake bread, can, sew, crochet, knit, cross-stitch, embroider, and many other things. 

    Currently, I'm learning Spanish with Duolingo, Western Heritage from the Book of Genesis to John Locke with a free online course from Hillsdale College, rug twining using YouTube videos, and I'm using The Bible Recap on the Bible.com app, too.

    Monday, the 16th, I'm adding something new. I've resigned from the school district. I enjoyed four years of substitute teaching; but, God's moving me into a new phase and a new position. I've accepted a position in a pediatrics office just three minutes from my home. It will be a learning experience in a couple of ways. 

    First, I've got to learn the computer system and the job. At 60, that will be a challenge. ~smile~ I'm a reader and a learner, so I'll be able to do it. Second, it's been 35 years since I've worked full-time outside the home. That, too, will be a challenge. ~God's plan—not mine!~ His plans are always good, though, aren't they? I'll tell y'all about it sometime. 

    A third challenge will be that I've been having bad headaches three or four days a week for a long time. The doctors haven't been able to help yet. 

    

    Will you please pray for me?

• That I'll comprehend and grasp all the details of the position
• That I'll have the energy and ability to fulfill my duties at work and home
• That headaches will not interfere with my ability to focus and be pleasant

    Please be patient with me as I learn to balance all the areas of my life including this blog. I do not want to let any part of my creativity go. I'm not sure how I'll do it all, but I choose the abundant life. That means husband, family, friends, work, creative outlets like writing and learning, hospitality, and most importantly, growing closer and closer to God. 

    

    This is a new assignment. This is a new era of my life. This is the way that I shall serve Jesus until he moves me into a new era. 

    Don't give up on me if I don't write as much for awhile. Y'all are an important part of my life; and, many of you have been for a long while. 

    Have a wonderful week! 

Laura

Happily serving God in a new way
