Earlier this week I was offered the position I interviewed for!

I accepted the job. When the HR employee offered it to me I felt so cool saying “Thank you so much, I just need to talk to my husband and will get back with you tomorrow!” Honestly, it was kind of nice having a reason to think, pray and sleep on my decision….OUR decision. Eric being a full time student in his last year studying occupational therapy we need a steady income as well as health insurance. These are things I asked myself:

• Do I want to take this job because I am afraid for us financially?
• Am I afraid to continue going with no health insurance?
• Am I just feeling pressure to provide or is this really a good fit for me?
• Is this in God’s plan for me?

And so many more questions…… I will be working at Kings Daughters Medical Center in the Cancer Center part time and in the Center for Healthy Living part time. It is a brand new position so I will play a part in shaping it. It will be very challenging but also so rewarding to have a chance to help someone. At least that’s the way I see it. To tell you the truth, oncology nutrition can be very complex and is pretty intimidating. I would be lying if I said I was not nervous. But the thing is…

I pray everyday for the Lord to use me. USE ME to lead people to Him. If you never do anything that might make you nervous, how can you expect the Lord to use you? But there is no reason to be nervous or afraid of what might happen.

God has already overcome the world and anything it could throw at us. The best part is that God will give us the strength and knowledge we need to follow His plan for our life. Just talk to Him and ask Him for what you need. He is waiting and will answer. It might not be the answer you want. The one that fits perfect into your idea of how your life should go. But, don’t be afraid.

You will find true joy when you follow Him.

I have learned that I don’t always understand and I am so glad that I don’t because God’s plans are so much bigger and better than anything I can understand at the time. I am so excited to follow my passions and let God lead the way. I challenge you to do the same!

Thank you so much for the prayers, texts and encouragement for Eric and I during this time. We don’t know what we would do without you!

Eric surprised me with a trip to Maysville this weekend for my birthday. I will be celebrating more than just turning 25 on Monday! SO VERY THANKFUL!

Sarah and Justin, our amazing friends, along with Eric and I will be having a blast this weekend! I am so exited. There is talk we may or may not have reservations at RUTH’S CHRIS STEAKHOUSE! I may pass out from excitement! My hubby and friends knew exactly what I would want to do! 😀 Have a great weekend all.

Love, Case
