...now to figure out how to grow up...
I recently spent 9 weeks in Idaho helping take care of my Aunt Donna. Being there rekindled my love for care-taking. It was the direction I was headed early in my 20s. Kids came along and life happened. I don't regret any of it. And I certainly loved and am grateful for over 2 decades in radio!!
My time with my aunt helped me to realize God is leading me into traveling respite care. I am so excited! It mixes two things that I love... travel and care-taking.
I've accepted my first "gig"!! Early in October I'll be headed to El Paso, Texas where I'll be staying with Sandy, the mom of some good friends. Sandy is moving through the stages of Alzheimer's. I will be getting my CNA while there. Will also be getting a hospice certification and other training.
Eventually, my plan is to be "stationed" out of southern Wisconsin while I travel and do respite and hospice care. I say "my plan", but we know Jesus is the One that directs our path. Look at what He's done already! Would anyone have guessed that my journey would look like THIS a year ago... Dang... Even 2 months ago?! Not me!!
I wish I could describe the multiple dozens of pieces of this puzzle that God has dropped into place! He's such a "master-jigsaw-puzzle-piece-
Please pray for me as this journey continues... for strength and wisdom! I will be far away from family for months at a time. I'm going to miss those GKids something fierce! Also pray for Sandy and her family. They have a rough journey ahead!
Love, Hugs, Blessings & Chocolate,
Annie
