Just thought I would write a little bit about myself in this posting. I will breifly tell you the story of how I met my wonderful husband. How I decided to go into the field of social work. And I will share with you a few people who have made an impact in my life.
First off, the Lord has truely blessed me with an amazing husband. I meet Noah in Aug of 2000. Just over 5 years ago. We first met at the Christian Students Association (now called Christian Challenge). Since our first encounter we grew as friends. He was someone I could count on to be there when I needed him and he was an awesome encouragement! He always encouraged me to follow the Lord first and formost. I was very grateful to have such a nice friend. As our friendship grew so did our Love for one another. To my suprise on July 2, 2004 (my birthday) he asked me to be his wife, with great joy I said YES! On my next posting I will tell our engagement story. On March 19, 2005 we were Married at TBC. We shared a wonderful week in Hawaii for our honeymoon (also a huge suprise to me). In a later postings I will share with you more about Hawaii and I will post more pictures.
I am often asked why I chose to go into the field of social work. First I will tell you it was a desire that God laid upon my heart; to help others. I initially had gone into the nursing field and found out quickly that wasnt the field I was to stay in. I decided to take a few Social Work (sw) classes with a friend of mine. After much prayer, I decided this was a field I could see myself in. I had a desire to work with children and the elderly population. In hind sight, I see exactly that this is where the Lord had led. I now work as a social worker in a Long-term care facility and absolutely love each of my residents!
I will now breifly talk about a couple of people who have impacted my life. Number one being my husband! He has taught me so much about how to love others, just in the way he has shown me unconditional Love. As I said above he has always been a great encouragement in many ways. The most important way he has encouraged me is by being there for me and encouraging me to seek the Lord in all that I do. As you can see I am totally in Love with the man I married!
The next people that have really made an impact on my life are my grandparents. They have been there for me throughout many rough times in my life and have always shown me support and Love. After spending many of my childhood years in a home of alcoholism, my grandparents took me out of that. I began living with them when I was 13 and they have shown me support continuously since then. I couldn't ask for a better set of grandparents! My grandfather especially has taught me a lot about life and living.
I'm sure in future postings you will hear more about these people and others as I type my thoughts out!
