Hello everyone!

I have come to realize that it has almost been two full months since I doodled my thoughts in here. 

Woops. 

I completed my rotation at JDMC.  I learned so much at this particular site, including the realization of how crazy different every place is, and I will cherish those lessons and carry them on to my future jobs.  And praise Jesus (literally) that I didn't get the job that I applied for because I now know it's not for me.  Don't get me wrong, I loved my rotation -- but God let me know in His wonderful way that he had other plans.  

I started my last rotation ever as a graduate intern in March, and my first real adult site at an impatient rehab.  You have no idea how much I am excited to not have to write those two words after my name on notes.  I'm specifically on their TBI (aka traumatic brain injury) and stroke floor, and I have fallen in l.o.v.e. with the elderly.  Shame on me for assuming they were all crochety and grumpy.  One older man in particular has definitely stolen my heart with that precious smile and live-life-to-the-fullest demeanor.  I can only hope that my future marriage (to whomever it may be) will be as wonderful as his, filled with lots of memories.  

God has been really working in my life, especially with this future job business.  As appetizing as any job sounds at the moment, I want to give this process all up to Him.  After all, He knows me and my needs better than I know myself.  I recently posted a resume on a general resume site where contracting companies can access and point me in the right direction.  I have been struggling back and forth on this one, particularly because I do not know if this is the right decision for me.  But, I know that God will take care of this, and all I need to do is place it into His hands.  At least, that's what I keep telling myself.  Have faith, Kelsea, everything will work out for the greater good.  

The last two weeks or so have been especially difficult and challenging - many factors contributing.  I feel like I've learned so much in undergrad and grad school, yet so little when compared to the big scheme of things.  I really wish classes would have been a little more practical application oriented, but hey, I can't turn back the clock.  Not to mention, I'm a hands-on gal, so just watching it in a classroom doesn't do me justice.  But that's another story entirely.  

That's all I have for now, amor y besos (love and kisses)!

Kelsea
