WOOHOO!!!

Done done done done done, I'm soooo done with class!! Oh man, now I get to hang with the kiddos finally. It was an interesting and exhausting experience. I met a wonderful lady named Geneva Jo who in about 10 minutes impacted my life. I painted her nails on a Friday and she was on hospice care Monday afternoon. She went to walk with her Jesus on Tuesday around 11:30 am. I held back tears but was glad before she passed I wrote her a note and her daughter read to her something along the lines of "sometimes God brings people into our lives and the minute you meet them you know you are a better person for having them there, and Geneva Jo, you made me better by knowing you." ah, what a wonderful lady, she lead a good strong life and I sat in our lunch room and looked up on the board to read "Behold I make all things new" Revelation 21:11 (?) and my heart skipped a beat - she's been made new!!Hallelujah, praise Jesus she is at peace and breathing easy! :). I've also had the chance to pick the brain of an almost 101 year old lady who is delightful. I was told I'm cuter than a button and have nice breasts (by a lady) so I told Jason - Hi Five you and a 70yr old lady like my boobs! :). I've also seen true love at it's finest and want to be loved forever like this one couple. She touches and kisses his hand so gently and he whispers he loves her and I'm tearing up thinking about it. Who would've thought love looked so lovely in two old wrinkly hands and wheelchairs? Huh, I learned more than I thought I would and will probably work there for a bit to get my feet wet - then onto the hospital. I did apply but lo and behold on the med term test I found out there were names to parts of our body I didn't know existed....So.... long story short I need to score higher on med term before I reapply!! Maybe that's a good thing, it wouldn't look good to hear your aide holler down the hall...."You put that where?? That's in the body?? I thought that was a type of shoe or underwear or whatever" So yeah I'll learn me up some med terms and give em .. heck .. at the hosptial.
As far as the adoption goes we are trying to plug away, lots of paperwork and notarizing ahead!! I just am glad for reassurance that we're on the right path and that when I lose focus on the reality of meeting my child that could very well be alive right now and I don't know their face or name but they are apart of me just gets the blood a pumpin and I wanna fly over to Ethiopia RIGHT now and pick them up and tell them my heart heard their cries and Im here to love them. So anyway, I'm such a sap. :). I tear up just thinking about my kids (the ones I've met and the ones I haven't).
Anybody heard the new Natalie Grant song "I will not be moved?" Uh somebody peeked in on this little life and made a song of it. I wonder if I can get royalties?! If you haven't heard it a little slice is the chorus :
I will stumble
I will fall down
But I will not be moved
I will make mistakes
I will face heartache
But I will not be moved
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
I will not be moved

Huh, words to live by eh?? Time to sleep (dream on right?)
Blessings,
Kala

Geneva Jo sounds like a treasure! Enjoy the added time with your family...and your paperwork.
