Life is funny

Six months ago, I was jobless and discouraged... even two months ago I couldn't have imagined where I am now and its refreshing.

Last week was my first real week at work with a full caseload. I went to court on Tuesday with one family and to the hospital on Friday night for another family to admit a kid because his behavior was a danger to others. But aside from needing sleep and catching up on paperwork, I feel great. I'm surprised at how quickly I'm passed the "I don't know what I'm doing" feeling and embracing the "I feel good about helping this family, but I also need to separate and live my own life" feeling.

There's also a new guy in my life. I don't feel defensive around him because I trust that he's not trying to hurt me. He makes me laugh more than anyone else I've ever met (believe it or not). He notices and understands things about my thoughts and feelings that I don't even realize I'm communicating. He's brilliant and a gentleman and he's open to understanding the way others experience life. We've been dating for a month and a half and every week feels a little different. Like, every time I look back on the previous week, it feels like we've come to understand each other and interact with each other on a slightly deeper level.

Its just amazing to me that after YEARS of struggle and stress, things can change so fast... and all of it was in God's timing.
