Hi Cindy,

Thank you so much for your prayers. I am praying for you as well. I've been a little under the weather and I've still got a lot on my mind but I am looking forward to my new job!

I am a Hospice volunteer at the nursing home and most of the patients are bedridden. I love it there but this new company works with seniors who are more active and I will be doing outings and tours with them so that excites me. The Administrator started out as a food server seven years ago so there is room for growth in the company. They have about 200 properties nationwide. I met one lady named Rose when I arrived ridiculously early for the orientation. We began to chat and she told me that I was one beautiful woman and she could just tell that I was "so different than other employees she encounter both on the inside and out and things about how she could just tell I was good. When we were speaking, I believed she could feel my spirit and I just knew I was on the right path! Such a far cry from the politics and corporate world I have been trapped in most of my adult life. It made me feel good and I left smiling!

Although I haven't been on the board, I have been praying for you! I know times are rough right now but you are good and strong and God loves you very much! You can do it and God is right by your side and will carry you when you fall. This I know as I've fallen on my face many times. Sometimes the valleys we tread through are so lonely and scary and it seems to take a lifetime to get back up but we always come back to the mountaintop - bigger, brighter, and better!

God be with your family and you!

Love,
Cheryl
