Change!

Change is a word that I use to hate to hear. However over the course of the past 2 years I have come to realize that it is just what happens in life. Rarely do things actually go as planned, people move on, and well life just happens. For those of you who do not know me my name is Ashley and this is my very first blog. You will have to excuse ALL grammar errors as I am from South Georgia and I type exactly how I speak. (well almost)

Recently in life I have learned alot of new things. In Septemeber I left the job that I loved and went to take care of my grandmother during her final months. I learned so much, basically living at the hospital you learn a new way of life and things that use to be so important lose value. She was an amazing lady and even as sick as she was, she still made us laugh. I made a promise to her that I would go to school (college). She passed in October and my life from that moment has not been the same. I have moved to a different state and will start school "Good Lord Willing" in August.

I will be starting school to become a Surgical Technician. If you know me, this is odd I know. However there are thousands of families that are making promises to loved ones that no matter how sick they get or what happens they will never leave them alone, ever. Not in the house or hospital or anywhere someone will always be there with them. Families well my family made that promise and we stuck to it, she didnt even go to the bathroom by herself. ( What mom does?) However the day came when she needed a procedure done and we could only walk with her for so far before we had to go to the waiting room. We prayed for everyone in the Operating Room that God would guide there hands and heads and be with them. So for me I want to be in the OR helping to take care of patients that thier families have entrusted to us to make a difference.

I am now living in Florida and boy is it different! I am seeing people who I havent spoken with in years. Trying churches to find one that I like. Its pretty crazy going in alone to a church and you are actually a visitor, I have been in church my whole life and these past 3 weeks I have never felt more out of place. I am still going and narrowing it down to a few. I have not started my job as of yet but have been working doing some other things. Times are a bit stressful but God always brings me through. I miss ALL my GA folks very much but read your blogs faithfully. LOL Well I guess this is it for my first blog. Hope you enjoyed it.
