Well, if you were waiting for a nail biter post, THIS IS IT! Curious why I haven't posted much in July??? Here's the lo-down....
June 20 - July 10: I was sick, horribly with stomach cramps, bathroom duties, and couldn't sleep without sitting up in my roommate's recliner! I visited the ER twice, had an abdominal CT Scan, had an upper endoscopy, and a sleep study done alone with tons of blood work. The results are: I have no ulcers, my hiatal hernia is gone, my spleen was inflamed for 2 weeks, I have moderate obstructive sleep apnea, and my Vitamin D level was 10 (aka extremely LOW). Along with my heart having neurocardiogenic syncope, I had to make a decision to switch jobs to something LESS stressful as a lot of the stress was contributing to my health issues my doctor thought.
July 10-20: I was still not 100%, but went back to work at the hospital only to be unable to STAND or WALK the next day. The jury is still out on the reason, except that I probably had physical exhaustion from the stress, maybe. SO I continued in my job search and was interviewed with a group home company based out of Nebraska!
July 20-31: I have been working at the group home company since 20th! I LOVE it! I am blessed to work with 3 gals in the apartment in downtown Waco. I have switched to evenings because of the nature of the job, which is perfect for me and my lifestyle and my "nightowl" brain.
As of July 30th, I have been accepted to the Day Discipleship Training School at my church, which will change lots of stuff for the course of the next school year. I couldn't be MORE excited!
If you would like to have information sent to you on my mission trips this Fall 2015 and Spring 2016, please go to www.postable.com/emilyardolf and enter your information to my online address book. It is safe and secure, only I will see the information and it will only be used to contact you about my trips!
Throughout this month, as I look back to all the twists and turns, there's been one theme God's shown me:
WHERE GOD CALLS, GOD PROVIDES. I ONLY NEED TO TRUST IN HIM.
Amen.
