COT: No matter what is true and what is not, covered up, whatever…youth were traumatized by the events at VHS, lift them up. But on a happier note…I was sad a while back for my kids and this younger generation, how the world is. I was told that these kids/youth were created for such a time as thus to be stronger, smarter,  druven through it all. That helps me see that it is all for a reason bigger than I can fathom.

The Thang: 2021 Olympic Inspired Workout
(See pic below)

COT: I’m wearing my college basketball shirt from 21 years ago!  Shew! Things aren’t the same as they were back then. Embrace the changes. We’ve had extra family live with us for 2 yrs now & there’s been challenges along the way, but I also hope there’s been purpose. They have 5 kids, & they’re really good kids. They’re moving out soon & I’m excited for change. Happy for them; happy for us. We have 4 boys & the younger two are 18mo & 4yrs. I look forward to making them a play space in the bonus room. So that’s my home life, but sometimes change can be scary.
I’ve had some changes at work; I’ve been a Pediatric nurse for 15 yrs & the last year & a half our hospital has hardly received any Peds patients. I love kids, that’s my heart! I recently visited Niswonger Children’s hospital & it was so exciting to see paintings on the walls & kids friendly stuff. I know for some people it’d be a nightmare to take care of sick children, but each of us have a purpose & that’s my passion. So I encourage you today, if you’re not in the career you want to be in or where God would want you, don’t be afraid of change. In all aspects of our lives, if you’re not where you need to be, then CHANGE it…EMBRACE it.
