Moving day is done!

Yesterday my sister came and helped me to pack up all mother's stuff. She is moving into assisted living, back in her hometown. Well, actually she moved today. I didn't cry and neither did she (as far as I know).
I am trying to fulfill my commitments
that I made earlier. I am reading my Bible, and you see how my blogging is working out. My Spanish and I are crawling along. I will keep working along, I know I can do it, I just haven't gotten my rhythm down yet:-)
Tonite my husband and. I went to a dinner for about 16 other new church members an us. We had dinner with the pastor, his wife and two associate pastors. It was good to have some time to get to know other people on a one on one basis. I can't remember names very well, so I will have to depend on the Lord to bring them to my remembrance.
For some weird reason, I always thought that when Johnny and I got to this stage in our lives that we would be settled in a church and our lives would be slowing down. Well, that's not how it's working. I am excited about church and getting involved. I don't think God wants me to get comfortable anywhere. I do much better when I am on high alert, He knows that!
I am so thankful for all He does for me and that He guides me right where I need to be at all times! Have a good weekend, just in case I don't make it back before then!

Just. Another day?

So I did pretty good today....I studied James, read my scriptures for today, studied a little Spanish and worked my 12 hours at the hospital . It was a good day at work, not too busy, just steady.
I read some today about boundary stones. When someone had their boundary stones out, you were not supposed to mess with them. What boundaries do I encroach upon that I should stand back and not cross? You know how you grown children lay out their life and may know what their boundaries are, but we as parents want to just charge in to "help". Do they need your help? No they want you to stand back and wait for them to ask for help. It's not ever easy to do this, but you can know that whatever God has here on earth for you and your loved ones will make you stronger and you don't have to cross other peoples boundaries. So basically you need to stay at home and mind own business.
Chin up....God does provide all our needs!

Mom has really gone techno!!!!!

Yippeee! I am posting on my phone. I am sure this will help me keep on track with my blogging. I am excited because I really want to make this a fun and useful place to visit. Check in as a follower and send comments. I would love to hear from all of you out there. More tomorrow.......

Just because I am who I am, I have set some new goals for myself for the rest of the year.  Now these are things I really want to do, but I will not beat myself up if I don't succeed fully.  I think if I publish these goals I will try to be more diligent.
1.  Post on this blog at least 3 times a week, I am going to try to get this on my iPhone so this will be a lot easier to do.
2.  Be consistent in my Bible study.  We are starting a Beth Moore study on James and one of the goals in that study is to memorize the book of James.  I plan to do my best and I really think I can do it.
3. I am studying to learn Spanish, so I plan by the end of the year to be able to hold my own when I interview a patient that only speaks Spanish.
4.  And this is the biggee, I have started writing a book, right now I am just brainstorming, writing things that pop into my head.  I would like to have something to submit to a publisher by the end of 2013.  I want to commit myself to write at least 4 times a week on this "book".

So that is not so much really?!!!!  In the midst of this my mom is moving from our house into an assisted living facility.  I am not sure how much that will either slow me down or speed me up.  I think that it will not bother me.  But you know how you think the day your kids start school and you think you are ok, but as you turn to walk away from the classroom the tears come?  That may be me when my mom moves.  There will definitely be a difference in my daily routine.

I would also like to do some book reviews on my blog.  Probably not many to start but hopefully I will get several in the next few months.  In my next blog I will explain how I became interested in writing book reviews.  But for today I will close and ponder on all these things I now have publicly committed to and prayerfully I will embark on this journey.  I am excited and I hope you will come along and feel free to offer any comments/advice/ etc.   I will be very happy to hear from you.
Look for me back soon.
