Life as a social worker

In Uncategorized on September 25, 2009 at 7:09 am

Today, I experienced public housing. I had to move some of my client’s things into her apartment. She will be living in an apartment-tower thing, on the 3rd floor. I looked at my full back seat and decided to be okay with the at least 5 trips up the elevator with my hands full. There were like 10 people sitting in the downstairs lobby watching me too. It was kind of awkward. I smiled and said hi. After my second trip, a lady asked me if I wanted to use a cart. How awesome is that? So I moved all her things in 3 trips with a dollar general shopping cart! Thank you kind people living at Francis Graham apartments. Public housing- you are a jewel.

Days like today, I like my job. I’ll like it tomorrow too cause’ I get to do the same thing! Today, after attending a meeting and becoming very frustrated with procedures and policies and blah, I decided I want to do administration. I don’t know what kind or where but… I want to. I’m still praying about when to get my masters and if I want to do a dual masters. Right now, I’m excited and ready to go back to school next year- to get two masters! Who knows though. Whatever the Lord wants me to do, I’ll do- as soon as I know what that is. Pray for me? K, thanks.

ANYways, pointless post. Sorry if I wasted 2 minutes of your life. I’ll give it back. Just let me know how.

so I’m copying her blog idea (http://allirogers.blogspot.com/)!

I am

a daughter, sister, and friend.

watching Friends and laughing.

scared of dying.

wondering what shoes are good for Michigan this time of year.

I am

a young, single adult.

finding my place in this new season.

afraid to follow Christ.

wearing two clashing colors of red and it makes me happy.

suddenly reminded red is my favorite color.

I am

a “social worker”.

taking my first paid vacation day ever this week! woo-hoo!

proud of who I was created to be.

wanting to be more than I am.

I am

exhausted.

wanting to cut my hair.

in love with my new iphone and all its tricks.

craving the ice cream in the freezer but not letting myself move off the couch…

As she so elegantly reminded me: “I am so many of these things yet at the same time none of them at all. I am not defined by anything other than:”

For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:15-17

I was created by Him and for Him. How sweet it is to be His.
