I need to start blogging again in at least somewhat of a more consistent manner.
It’s not that I have no ideas of what to write or nothing of import to say but I just have not felt that it needed saying or publishing. Granted, I have been busy but really not that busy. My life is in one of those never-boring, ever-changing patterns right now. Lord willing, very soon I’ll actually get around to posting a full update but the brain cells aren’t functioning enough for that tonight.
The changes:
Claire came for a visit, we went to Europe, saw a lot of the world, and then came back to the UAE. I went back to work and she hung out with my friends. We fed her strange food and she lived through it. Then she left me. 😦
I moved into a new apartment. Both of my former roommates saw fit to enter the blessed state of matrimony and so I needed a new home. God blessed me richly with a perfect floor plan, a lovely view, and money to actually furnish the place properly. As I type this I am happily ensconced on my lovely new couch which gets full points for practicality (because that is always the first thing we think about a white couch) and comfort.
I went back to the Special Care Baby Unit at the hospital. After a season of more change at Oasis Hospital and me running through three different clinics we all agreed that me going back into the SCBU was a great idea. I was quite happy and then another change came my way. I will be rotating into OB for 6 weeks since they are short-staffed and need some help. So off I go to learn another new skill and see what God has planned with this latest change.
That’s really it. I’ve just been doing my best to enjoy life and immerse myself in the new quiet and routine I have had. Having my own place makes it so much easier for my thoughts to run free and for me to find the stillness I need to write again. We shall see if I actually do blog more frequently in the near future.
Currently no vacations are planned and the are no adventures to look forward too other than God’s great plan for my life. I think that this is going to be a good season. New friends, the ability to be more hospitable again, and to make a home beautiful has just made the UAE just that much more of a home. Praying that it continues in this way.
Love to all…
