(which was pictured last week - yes i know) & Shout Out to my sweet friend Kristin Doty - She baked some yummy goodness and let me have one!

Come and see what God has in store for you!

I'm quite excited about this weekend, the weeks are flying by me I don't feel like I have a handle on anything any more, perhaps this is what "letting go and letting God" will do to you. I prefer to think of it as organized chaos - except I have a hard time remembering that I am not the organizer. Can I get an Amen?? #ANYONEfeelme

Weekend Additions:

I get another opportunity to shadow a PA at Children's Medical Center this weekend and I am so excited, this will be the 3rd time and we are going to be in a different part of the ER - each time I feel excited/nervous (even though I am only observing) - HOWEVER last time I did get to put gloves on and hold a patients hand/arm while she stitched them up so that he wouldn't move it during the procedure! THAT WAS AWESOME. It's the little things. 

*Also - super fun, studying for Chemistry

Have a fabulously, fresh Friday! & a blessed weekend!

Long Time No See... Happy Wed!

Shame on me! It's been a while since I have posted.... a couple new things have happened, an update is in order!!!! ;)

I started school since my last post, and man, Chemistry is just not something my brain is overjoyed to hear about.... when my professor is blathering on and on about atomic compounds, Dalton's Theories, Law of Definite Proportions and Law of Multiple Proportions and the difference between the two..... my mind just WANDERS..... it doesn't want to focus and make sense of what I am hearing, my mind wants to think about other important things, okay, STOP. My mind needs to focus and Chemistry is important. I have to figure out a way to make this exciting! So what am I going to do? You ask.... Well to be honest haven't got that far, just know that I need to like it and be excited about it. We have our first Lab Test Thursday, quiz AND Lab experiment over measure - we get to must wear goggles! Score. On that note, more to come after Thursday...

Last week my mothers mom turned a whopping 96 years young! I got to spend sometime with her on Friday/Saturday. It was a quick trip and I loved every minute I got to spend with her! Happy Birthday Alma Lee!

most of the ladies at the lunch! - we missed a few :)

Saturday evening was the kickoff and my first time as a volunteer at The MIX NEWERA, it used to be on Wednesday evenings but has now moved to Saturday evenings after the service! It's from 6-8pm and there are free snacks & drinks! It's an exciting time to be in the youth at Fellowship Church - Grapevine and all campuses! I am on the "connector crew" which means that I greet all incoming traffic and try to connect with youth that have not been to FC before and get them plugged in and possibly meet some new friends! Drew Nguyen and Derek Donley are the youth pastors and they are absolutely great!!!! I had such a awesome time meeting families and their middle schoolers!! (is that a word? oh well I'm using it)...I can't wait for this Saturday to see what God has in-store!!!!!! :) Definitely humbled by the experience. 

I had the opportunity of speaking to an ED PA-C at Children's because of a connection I had made through my current job and I hopefully will begin shadowing her starting next Wednesday! I am sooooo excited! :) I. CAN. NOT. WAIT.


Flavour Sisterhood is this evening at 7pm and I'm psyched! I haven't been going a lot because I have been in school but now that I have school only tues/thurs I can!! It's an hour of time where women can come together and worship the Lord! :)


Hope you all are having a wonderful week so far! It's almost Friday, we can make it. My verse today is: "I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One who was sitting on the throne. There was writing on the inside and the outside of the scroll, and it was sealed with seven seals." Revelation 5:1 - The Lord has secured our future. Amen! 

Happy Wednesday.

Weekend came and went....

Last week a lot of exciting things occurred! It showed me that God is really moving in my life but the more he moves the more trusting I have to be and especially patient. I am so excited for what is happening now but also what is to come! So to update and post my late High Five For Friday! Better late than never, as they say..

1.) Saturday evening I attended a leadership meeting for The Mix (6th-8th grade) to volunteer. I am joining the leadership team for TheMIX at Fellowship Church Grapevine! and it used to be on Wednesday evenings but now it will be on Saturday evenings starting September 8th! I'm very excited to begin working with the student ministry again (I worked with Denton Bible Church when I lived in Denton).



2.) I got to speak with not only 1 but 3 PA's about shadowing in the future and 2 of them are at Children's Medical Center - I am so excited because I have always been interested in pursuing Pediatrics! It's now feeling like my dream is closer than ever and I can only thank God for it!!! I will begin after September shadowing an Orthopaedic Surgery PA and the others have yet to set up a schedule but I have a feeling it will be soon!!!!! SO EXCITING. (if you can't tell I'm basically jumping for joy over here!!!!)



3.) Okay so this may be silly but I bought this book thinking even if it doesn't help maybe I will learn something from it. Well let me tell you this is a little gem, I am so glad I bought it! It is very helpful and if I could tell the author one thing - is that I am so appreciative for him giving me a new perspective on making goals, and achieving them also just staying positive through the whole process even if I become discouraged! It's great to hear someone's perspective that is on the other side, that has already experienced what I am going to experience! So Thank you Andrew Rodican!!!

4.) My job! - for those of you that don't know I work at UT Southwestern Medical Center - University Hospitals as a Senior Administrative Assistant for the Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Vice President of Non-Clinical Support Services. I am really blessed to have the job that I have. It is extremely flexible and my boss' are very understanding; also there are a number of perks that come with the job. I mainly am thankful because with starting back to school - they are certainly lenient if I need to study, or take a test, or whatever the case maybe. In past jobs I have not had such lenient supervisors/boss'. So I am so appreciative that the Lord has blessed me with a wonderful position, even if is not the position I/He plans for me to stay in.

5.) I am very excited about the new series our pastor Ed Young is going to begin on September 8th and 9th called "I am not ____ enough."

Hope you all had a great weekend! I enjoyed mine, I didn't really do much of anything! It was relaxing.  HAPPY MONDAY! It's a brand new day, if today were your last day - how would you make His name known to the world. Also Happy First Day of School to all the kiddies out there as well as my teacher friends! My first day is tomorrow. I'm nervous/excited! :)

XOXO,

Kristi Brooke
