Is it summer yet?

I see it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Not that anyone reads my blog anyway. Things go fast in my world this month we have lost 2 major employees and hired a new counselor and interviewing last week and this for a new secretary. I had a semi-major breakdown with all the issues this last week! Sorry Jay and Amy! Sometimes the stress is really heavy! I am so ready for a vacation. Thing is when you start a new job you can't just take a vacation. So I wait.

For the next month I will be going to training in Saginaw for my new job at the Department of Human Services. I have been working there now for 2 months. 3 more months till I can take a vacation! Actually I am looking forward to the training. When I get back I will start my own caseload. The other girls at the office currently have caseloads of 500-600 clients. They have been overworked for a long time since there has been a freeze on hiring new people. So they are very excited to get the new hires trained.

New Hope has been low on girls for the last month. It makes it hard to pay the bills. But this last week we received calls for 5 new clients. I would be happy if at least 2 of them turned out to really come to us! One of our girls has had a mental break down and is currently in a hospital for treatment. She really needs prayer. She was really making huge changes in her life and I felt she was really close to making a life changing decision about God. Please help me pray that the devil would be defeated in her life. The plan is for her to return to us if she is able to. She refuses to take her medication and has had to be sedated several times for violent episodes.

God has the final say in every situation and by no means do I feel like these situations are above His control!

Hey anybody have any good ideas of where to go for vacation in August of September?
