tell me this isn't funny!i'm so darn thankful to be here. ive had some great, encouraging conversations. i'm gaining such reassurance for what i want to with this life. it's always so cool to tell people how little me from cali ended up almost on the east coast in a tiny health center. God's hand was so prevalent!
i'm learning so much about what it takes to be a dietitian in such a community. lots of people come from generational poverty & it's hard to get them to even consider to change their eating habits. the dietitian, mary, is so graceful with how she maneuvers through tough nutrition therapy sessions with the patients. i'm soaking up everything like a sponge :)
last night, tonight, and tomorrow night is the church's neighborhood bible club. aka VBS. i went out there with jessica tonight, because the boys had their first baseball game. it was soooo cute. i remember when the kids were dancing and singing and spelling out "Jesus". i was thinking to myself, how in the world could someone deny this? deny the God who provides and sustains this kind of joy. i got pretty silly with the kids. it was so fun. :)
"Am I too busy chasing a temporary fortune
That my priorities get lost along the road
The seasons bring their moments
They linger for an instant
They never wait for you to pay the debts you owe
When I leave I want to leave a memory filled with love
The kind you don't forget
When I go I want to be known
As one who lived with no regrets
If life is like a flower
Am I doing all that's in my power
To leave a fragrance behind
It's time to count my blessings
Forget about my savings account for a while
I want them to say
What a glorious day
She had so much to gain
But she gave it away
And I want them to see something different in me
And that I'm going to be free
Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
When I leave I want to leave a memory... "
