Blessing and Blessing!!

I'm starting to feel guilty seeing as I haven't exactly had a moment to update this. Let's take a small recap of this past week. Firstly, I got the new job I had been praying so hard for and I started this past Wednesday. I have also in the past few years gotten to the point where I was pretty squeamish when it comes to blood and needles. So.. I was needless to say, thankful to receive this job being that it was at a Retina specialists office. I was thrilled I was going to be able to work in the medical field without any school training because let's face it..some of us are just not cut out for college and I was part of that some. Anyways! So I was thrilled Wednesday morning knowing I wouldn't have to deal with any of that mess! No pricking, sticking, or drawing any blood. Well little did I know the retina specialists deal strictly with damaged eyes, meaning yes I would eventually be dealing with sticking and pricking (eventually after enough training...in someone's eye) ahhhh!! So I was speaking with a girl in the office about my watch I had on it had a few scuffs on it from last summer when I had fainted while hearing a girlfriend talk about her experience in the ER. So, the lady training me insisted I immediately go sit in on a procedure where the patient has some vegetable dye injected into their hand and it travels their blood stream eventually to the veins in their eyes and produces a pretty fascinating picture through this machine. So as I was observing, hanging on the wall I started to feel terrible. I looked for some paper, a book, anything I could use to fan myself. Well I had to step out of the room. And in doing so, as I went to shut the door I fainted and slammed the door mid fall. Great first impression, huh!? I thought so too. I was completely 100% against ever going back because I was determinded I couldn't make it there another day. But after speaking with Brandon, my parents, and many many prayers about it, a click in my head went off and I was greeted with a warm sense of comfort and the feeling that I can surely do anything through Christ. So I trooped my way through the rest of the week. After my last visit with Brandon we had gone back and forth talking about the worst part of taking on a new job, and that was not knowing when I would be able to return for a visit due to my being on a 90 day probation period. So that has been tough and quite a hard pill to swallow. Every night after I get off the phone with Brandon I always say my prayers, count my blessings, and beg God to guide me in the way he sees fit for us. But for some reason, I had Brandon on my brain Thursday night and begged God to please put me in the car with his parents to come visit this weekend if it was meant to be. But I had allowed myself a little room for the let down of not being able to go. Woke up, Friday morning and that feeling was so strong in my head that I packed a weekend bag to carry to work with me, just in case ;) anyway so I call his dad early morning asked when they were leaving, he told me right then (which was when I was on the way to work at 6:30) so I said..ok well y'all have fun I hate I will miss this one, I'd love to come. At this point I was thinking..well you know maybe that's what God didn't have in mind for me today so I was okay with it. Almost half way to work and by this time it is POURING DOWN. So as a heads up I call my office and warn them of the chance of my being tardy and something came over me telling me to simply ask them what the chances of me leaving early would be. So, aw what the heck I asked. And again, I was blessed by the answer on the other end of the line.. "sure I don't mind if you leave at 12 today" WOOOOOHOOOOO!!!!! I immediately called Mr. Joey and it was set, they were to wait on me so I could go!! I was able to see my love this weekend and I a, just so incredibly blessed to have been able to do it! Thank you God!The power of prayer works people, and the sooner you realize it...the smoother your life will go and the more peaceful it will be! God is so good, all the time!! And all the time, God is good!
