Crazy Days...

Wow....Today was one of those days that I wanted to scream STOP!!! Don't say another word. My brain is on overload and everyone and everything needs to chill (just for a second). Anyways, I'm glad I'm home and its a few hours until I go to work. I work at Washington Regional Hospital on the Oncology floor, and I love it. It really has blessed me tremendously. Everyone has days when they really don't want to go to work, but for the most part I love my job. Working with cancer patients is alot different then other patients. You are able to become part of their life. One of my patients, Debbie, is a devoted Christian whom I've become very close too. She's has leukemia. She and her husband both teach at a Christian school and they have three children ages 10-2. I was working the day Debbie was told she had leukemia. I remember how strong she was. Her faith was/is incredible. Last time she was in I sat on her bed and we talked about what God was doing in our lives, and of course making sure she's up to date on John Mark and I and our blossoming relationship. Although she is a little behind in that she hasn't heard about my engagement (Yeah!). She's a real inspiration to me. I have never seen faith like hers. I hope that if I was in her situation the example I would set would bless others like she has blessed me. Anyways, everything else is going great. John Mark constantly wants to sit down and talk about wedding plans, and I'm still soaking in the fact I'm engaged. How exciting. Every day it becomes a little more of a reality to me. I'm so excited that I will be spending the rest of my life with him. Well I think I'm going to take a little nap before work.
