This week has gone by really fast. We are at the midpoint and I must say that my
experiences at work have been delightful.
I have met wonderful people and have a supportive supervisor. I am happy with my placement. I have stayed true to my hope of working at
my site one day, and the Lord has brought things full circle for me. Words cannot articulate the joy I feel
working at my site.
Last week, I was selected to work on a special project that
I volunteered, and I was selected as a key member of the planning
committee. WOW!!! I am so looking forward to the launch date of
the project for it will be so much fun mixed with hard work!! I also saw the July
4th fireworks… just beautiful!
I must also say that it has been challenging riding the
metro each day. It is soooooooooooo
Hottttttt!!! I find myself drenched with sweat, and I stayed hydrated. Yet, I still want to go enjoyed the sites in
DC but find myself attempting to rest.
As I type this blog, I hear the thunder and hope that the city and
surrounding areas will be ok in the morning.
I was saddened to see all the destruction and devastation left after the
last storm. As I made my way to church,
I saw trees down and cellular service was not an option for the networks were
busy. However, I found a place to
worship and remained true to myself by attending church!
Another subject that I have been wrestling with is taking
care of my needs or my body’s needs over others. I have been neglecting my own health out of sympathy
for someone else, and this week I decided to be true to myself!! I am putting
my health and well being first and I encourage all people to do so.
