Moving, moving, moving

For the last week or more we have been boxing and moving our stuff to our new house.

You never realize how much stuff you have until you move it. Will be glad when its all over.

As I write, Joey and I have only 3 days left of our old job.  There are alot of emotions but one thing that never changes is God's faithfulness. Hope to put up some pictures soon. 

New email  hol21@hotmail.com.  

Happy New Year may you feel God's nearness in the coming year.

LOL,

I will start work January 19th.  As I write we only have 2 more weeks of our job.  We move Dec 29th with the help of teenagers should be interesting. Getting a lot packed. 

Thanks for all the prayers I am learning more each day that with God anything is possible.

Love ya all

Another update

Today I got a call from another unit at parkview and they would like to interview me next

week.  Please pray that God will give me wisdom and a peace where I should go.

LOL

Job interview

Today I met with Rhonda from parkview who is a nurse practitioner.

In January there is a new heart unit opening up with just 12 beds.  Which means more quality care for patients.  I was offered a 7pm-7am 3 nights a week which is considered full time and would only have to work about 1 weekend a month.  If everything keeps going as planned I would start around Jan 19th.

Thanks for the prayers, 

Stay tuned for updates

God is at work

Hi everyone,

Since I wrote last, I have a job interview tomorrow at Parkview Hospital.

Joey and I are going to sign a year lease for a rental house in grabill on Friday. 

It's amazing how God can weave the pieces of our life together if we trust and let go.

This weekend had a family christmas and 2 weddings.  Will post some pictures soon.

Thanks for the prayers,

Hol

When God closes a door

Hi everyone,

It is with mixed emotions that I right this blog.  As of January 3rd Joey and I will be moving on from GW.  I am looking for a nursing job in the area and Joey is looking for something with landscaping.  

Please pray for God's guidance in our life in this time.  Sometimes the mountain looks big but God is bigger than anything we see in front of us.  

Joey and I feel God closing the door hard on the ministry that we have been doing for 4 years and has other plans for us although we don't see what they are.

I am reminded of 1 Timothy 1:7  God does not give us a spirit of fear...

Happy Thanksgiving!

weekend in IL

Had a great time visiting family and spending time with my family

Haven't written in awhile. Had a great 4 days off. 

Went to a scrapbooking retreat and got 30 pages completed.

Nothing new on the adoption front. Some days feel longer then others, learning to 

trust God more and know that He is in control and knows best.

Till next time

Another week

Well, its another friday night and we are on duty with 7 teenagers. It's cold and rainy out, so can't

do to much.  

This week in bible study we learned about blessed are the merciful for they shall see God.  

It was a good reminder to me how much mercy God has shown on me and how even when a person doesn't deserve mercy that is when I need to show it the most.

Have a great weekend

Back to Reality

Hi everyone,

Had a great weekend in Michigan.  Spent time shopping, biking the island, spending time with friends, and growing in our marriage.

On monday and Tuesday we were at the Grand Hotel for a marriage conference with Jay and Laura Laffoon, check out their website celebratenet.com.  Dr. Kevin Leman talked and gave us some great things to ponder and challenged us in our marriage. 

Back on duty, alot of sickness is going around here on the job. Trying to stay healthy.

Blessings,

Holly

Mackinac Island, MI

Tomorrow Joey and I leave for Michigan it is a much needed trip. This week has been extra 

stressful for some reason. We have been working for 8 days straight with troubled teens that could easily be some of the reason. 

Please pray that Joey and I may rest, relax and grow our marriage as we go to a marriage conference Monday and Tuesday.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Holly

Quiet times

Today we are on duty we normally have 7 teenagers however today the 3 girls are gone on visits. 

I am enjoying the quietness since my husband took the boys fishing. I'm learning in life to enjoy the quiet because it does not happen often. 

So a quote for the day: enjoy the quiet moments of life.

St. Joe

Well we had a great weekend.  It rained sunday and monday but Tuesday was beautiful.

Came back rested. Joe turned 33. Back to work today. 

Have a great day.

Ready for the weekend

On Sunday my husband and I are going to St. Joe, Michigan for 3 nights.  My parents are coming from IL. Looking forward to some R&R and shopping while my dad and husband go fishing.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Love ya all,

Hol

Well, today is tuesday. Not much new, went on duty today. Always busy with teenagers. Had a busy weekend, got to see a football game, hang out with family and friends. Sunday we gave dinner at our church after it was all done we only had 2 sandwiches left over. That was close. I will try to get pictures in the future. 

Talk to you later,

Holly

Busy Thursday

At Gateway there are many jobs Joey and I do. A job that I have been doing for almost 4 years is organizing and putting a days off calendar every month. Today Heather Beer are new alternate house mom is going to take over my duty.  Even though it was not hard it will be nice to give one of my responsibilities up.  Thankful for the rain we got last night. Busy this week with Grabill days and serving lunch on Sunday.

Till next time,

Holly

Howdy

Have a great Day!
