Life’s Tests

Just over a year ago, my life changed. That’s what life does, I know, constantly changing. But why do we have to be tested, with so many things? As well as be tested in so many ways? Lives change daily, people change over time. Change is everywhere.

I moved into Dubuque over a year ago now. That brought on many different changes. Over that time I grew up, made some friends and started to feel like Dubuque was home. Then during a recent visit to the vet, I learned my dog may have cancer. Of course they wouldn’t know until they did “surgery” to remove the mast, something I really cannot afford to do that and the dog is old.

So I guess we are in for more change. Graduation took place, and people around me are leaving for first call,CPE and Internship. We are heading to internship, but we aren’t leaving yet still a change. So how do we or better yet how do I handle all this change?

I guess it’s with faith, and support from those still around me. So here we go counting down the days until we start internship, changing churches and knowing come January of this year, I will no longer have a child in school, but my baby is in college.

Ugh! This is too much. I’m feeling so overwhelmed. Time to take a deep breath and take it one minute at a time. It also wouldn’t hurt (unless I sing out loud), all the tunes related to change. I think I’ll start with……..Man in the Mirror (Women in the Mirror).
