Praise report

I have to say that February has been a month filled with a variety of praises. Our year started much like last year, filled with trials and unknowns and in my baby-like faith, I was trying to trust in God rather than question the circumstances. I have been clinging to God's word and waiting to see how everything was going to come together...some things have come together so beautifully that it's got God's handwriting all over it! Some of you know that Mark had been pulled out of the school he has been at and split between two other schools, this was the second time they had moved him THIS YEAR. It was very troubling and the future was looking uncertain, BUT we have since learned that what appeared on the surface to be crazy and disorganized is actually a huge blessing. This is not only a better circumstance for the remainder of the year but has set him up for a good situation next year too. This has been a huge answer to prayer for us!
I had been having trouble getting shifts as the hospital had changed their entire scheduling system. Basically, the best way to get shifts now is by the relationships that you have with a department. In talking with the administration of ICU, I was told that there wasn't a need in their department at this time. I was very disappointed as one of my biggest goals throughout treatment was to get back to working in ICU, I had really missed it. I figured God was closing a door and seemed to be opening another in oncology so I went with it. It was at that point that ICU started calling me and there is a huge need in ICU all of a sudden. :) Again, the way this has unfolded has God's hand writing all over it. I'm still amazed that whenever I let go, God does His best work and all for my good. We still have some uncertainties and continue to wait on God as I'm absolutely confident that He is in complete control.
