Pics from Vaca

Well, vacation has come and gone and soon I will be back at the daily grind of things. I really enjoyed the Outer Banks and just a time to relax and not worry about anything. I would highly reccommend going to the Outer Banks if you like a place where there isn't a lot of that commercial stuff. I head back to Anderson tomorrow and back to work on Tuesday. I go to the doctor on Wednesday. We'll see what he does next. I'll try and post some pics later.

Man it's windy...

So the wind has been fierce today, especially on the third floor apartment building. Anywayssssssss....update on the shoulder drama. I went to the doctor on Thursday. He didn't say much, had some xrays done but nothing showed up. He gave me some anti-inflammatory meds and got me some therapy. I start therapy for my shoulder tomorrow. I have to go back to the doctor the week after I get back from vacation. We shall see what happens.
Went to Gaffney to see Jacklynn's recital. She did good. She improves each year! Got to see the family. This time next week I will be chilling at the beach with the family!:-) I can not wait!!!!! Five days of work.......few laps for cancer at Relay for Life......baby shower...home.......BEACH!!!:)

Prayer Request!

So I don't know how many of ya'll will read this in time, but I have a prayer request. I go to the doctor tomorrow for my shoulder. It's the first step. Don't know that I'll find out anything but just pray everything goes smoothly if ya will! Thanks!

Highlights of my weekend

So this past weekend I really had no big plans and I enjoyed that! I went out to eat with my lovely roommate Friday night and ran into Casey (girl from work) and her husband David. Then Saturday I got my hair cut. It's now more shaped up and doesn't look like a big helmet on my head. Shelly worked Saturday, so when she got home, we went to grab some food and headed to the mall. I needed to go bra shopping. As the women reading this blog, you know how time consuming and frustrating that can be at times. I also go two shirts for summer, so that was exciting. AND I got it all on sale and ended up saving about the same amount I spent. I am loving having a JC Penny near me! Today I went to Sunday School and church. It was senior adult Sunday and there were all kinds of special things during the service. After church I headed on to the grocery store. I ran into Casey again! She said I was following her, but I do believe that she has it backwards.:) I got home and just chilled, watched a little Gamecock baseball on TV, which by the way they won! GO GAMECOCKS!!! Then I went to church tonight for my last small group of the semester. I really have enjoyed the small group. Most of the people in there could be my mother/father or should I say grandmother/grandfather, but they are awesome people with Godly wisdom who want to share the love of Christ with others through missions and I love it! I went out to eat with some of them tonight. They are fun and so sweet to invite me. I am getting WAYYYYYY excited about our family beach trip that's coming up in two weeks. We are going to the Outter Banks for a week, all four of us plus Margaret (pretty much my future sister-in-law) and Maggie!!! Kendra is coming up for a few days as well. I am looking forward to getting away and just chilling with the family for a while. John is going to summer school so we have to squeeze in our family vacation before he has to get back down to school.

It's become very evident over the past few days to me that even though I had a mountain top experience a few weeks ago, if I am not daily seeking and relying on Christ, then I lose focus and start to doubt and go back to my fake earthly confidence. (read previous post if you haven't) I look at the necklace we were given our last day on our walk and I am reminded about what it resembles. Many times this past week I wanted to just scream at the top of my lungs or just sit in a puddle of self-pity tears, but I did neither. Instead I put my nose to the grinder and made it to the end of the week. Christ doesn't call us to just "make it" til the weekend. He calls us to be a light for Him and rely on Him. Christ is counting on us but I often forget I must count on Christ for ALL things. Even the little details of a hurting shoulder or difficult patients. There is always a reason.
