Yarn Time!

Fall is time for yarn works!
And Guess what? It is Fall!!
Time to drag out the needles and yarn!

My Goal for this year is to only knit! I may be slow at this but I want u to learn this - I am determined!

Catch up time!

Been a few months since I wrote!
Been just a little busy!
Since last time I wrote I have since graduated from nursing school, took my state Board testing and I am now:

Katie Presser,LPN

So glad that part is over!

But we all know how wonderful our God is, right!
And His timing is always Perfect!

The day after I graduate He opened the door to job!
The next day I became a nurse to two General surgeons!
Stressfull? Yes just a little!
Do I love it? Yes alot!
What was even nicer about this opportunity  is that it is in the same building I have worked in for 10 years as a secretary. GOD CONTINUES TO WALK BEFORE  ME!

So wondering how I finally have time to write? Well, yesterday I had gallbladder surgery!
Was not planned! But it is good timing as well, since we have a three day weekend and I won't have to miss any work!

So definitely  getting some down time for a change this weekend.
Hope to get some reading, bible time and crocheting done this weekend

Hope to be back on here soon and little more often!

Have a blessed day y'all!

Giving Him all the Glory!

So the time along awaited for has come this past week! With great excitement I was Honor to have my mother (an RN) pin me as a LPN. It has been a long 10 months! Some huge changes in my life and family, but I know without a single doubt that Gods hands have been in it all! He deserves all the glory and thanks for walking thru this time with us, thru each class, test, paper due, tears shed, friendships made, long clinicals and very sleepy drives! 

There are things big and small that people will never know or maybe ever even understand all that Gods has done in our lives the past two years!

I was honored to also receive the "Florence Nightingale" award. Blessed but there are so many awesome to be LPN's in my class. They all deserve that award! 

Blessed but All the glory is His!

And I can not begin to Thank all my friends, family and wonderful church family for all the prayers, cards, text of encouragement and yummie much needed chocolate,  over the past year enough! God has truly blessed me with some good ol' hard praying, lovin friends!:)

And.....

A loving husband and awesome daughters that have sacrificed a lot this past year- I love them so much! 

God use me where you need me.....

 

A Child Needs You

Had a very blessed day to watch this young Lady stand before a crowd of people so very nervous, all because she loves The Lord and wants to serve.

Her heart has been broken for the poor and the needy. God placed a command on her heart and thru the fear of the stage she continued on to follow in the steps that Christ was calling her too walk.

I was a very proud momma to see her stand before our church and allow God to work thru her.  

She represented Compassion International today for Compassion Sunday. She reached out for sponsorships for needy children. And God moved.

six different children recieved sponsors today. Changing their lives, giving them Hope and shareing Christ with each one. 

That is what it is all about.

Compassion- one child at a time.

Would like to introduce you to our newest family member.

Linda "Zoe". She is from Honduras and she is 4 years old.

Monthly with only $38.00 we are able to provide her with education, food, medical  care and get to show her the Love of Jesus. We also get to send letters and pictures and receive sweet pictures.

I may not have meet her yet, but she has my heart. 

35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you didit to Me.’

Matthew 25:35-40 

I pray for her and her family and feel blessed that God has allowed me to care for another one of His children. 

How can you adopt child to help raise and bring up learning about Christ?

Love how God works!

Last saturday of spring break. One month a way from my LPN pinning. Three months to go to be completely finished.

Today was a snowy day, I have a head cold and I forbid to get out of my pjs! So I spent time with Lord.

For awhile now God has placed something on my heart to do.

For starters, there are two things I have always wanted to do!

1. Become a nurse 

2. Publish a book

Now just maybe those two things are close to being accomplished.

Since school had started I have been trying to find a nurseing student devotional. Not happened.

So today I decided to set down and let God work. Not realizing I had been already being prepared for this. Scripture just flowed on the paper from the highlights in my bible and my journal.

I have always wanted to put my favorite verses together,somehow. I love the way God works and prepares us long before we even know it. Twelve long hours later I do have a rough draft of what I would love to have published in a travel size devotional book for nursing students on the go!

**Any suggestions of how or who to go through to publish paperback books?

1 Timothy 4:12NKJV 

Take Heed to Your Ministry

12 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

A Day of New

    A new day of Spring and a new day of adventure. 

As I see and feel the joy and excitement of the new buds growing strong as the rain falls and the sun shines. I know it is time for me as well to see thru the rain and feel the sun, the warmth and newness of life and adventure.

    As today started it is the first day of my spring break from nursing school and sooo very needed. It is a day two of us having been waiting for for a long time. 

     The first half of this awesome day we bought our daughter her very first car. Excitement for her, fear for me! However, i know she is in Gods hands. But this is her - new!!

       Second part of the day was spent as family time and a time well needed and very much waited for by me!  I feel this will be the frist of many!

         My "new" for this day was something I had been dreaming about all winter waiting for that one good clear day and day of no school to enjoy the great outdoors and beauty of nature that Gods loving hands has made for us.

        I have spent some time this winter gathering supplies, reading and dreaming of being outdoors as soon as this spring break could begin! And it was finally here today! A day of new!

    As my family seemed not so excited about going and starting a new adventure together, I do believe as the day comes to an end, we All, have found a "new" passion of exploring and being in such fresh air as we inhale and exhale heavily as we climbed the rocks, jumped over the water puddles and snapped pictures (a lot of pictures) of this  "new" day- a "new" day of hiking!

     That smile explains it all!

    That smile on that teenager during a family outing- priceless.

    Me and my man! Not only I'm I glad he enjoys the outdoors with me. If you notice that stick in my hand, that is more than just a stick! That was made and given to me by my grandpa. He too enjoyed the outdoors.

I hope there are many many many more outdoor adventures to come. Breathing that air, no phone signal, no rush, Gods beauty, simply a new day of beauty.

                      And........

      A great ending of - A Day of New
