Brookwood...An awesome place to be!

Nicholas and I have been struggling to find a church that we both enjoy going to. In high school he went to Evangel Cathedral which was a nondenominational charismatic church (yeah...I know, the name threw me off too). And as most of you know I grew up Southern Baptist. We have visited many churches and have thought that we had found one but the longer we stayed the more uncomfortable we became. So, around Thanksgiving we decided to go towards Greenville. By now we were willing to drive anywhere. I came up with a list and Brookwood was at the top. We visited and became hooked. Yeah, it is a BIG church but the worship is amazing and the preacher really lets the Holy Spirit work through him. We also love that we can pick between 3 different service times. Right now we are exploring small groups. They have one that meets in Spartanburg so we have inquired about it.

Please pray that we will have opportunities to become connected. With it being such a big church the only way to get plugged in is to get involved. I am hoping that when I switch to days and we find out when the small group meets that I can become more involved.

A Big Change

Most of you all know that when I started working as a nurse a year ago my only option at the time was night shift. It has been a wonderful experience and I have absolutely loved working with everyone. However, the sleep schedule has taken a toll on my physically and mentally. Recently, a day shift position has opened up on 5South and I have decided along with some help from Nicholas to make the move. What does this mean? I will only be working 3 days a week (unless I pick up some extra shifts). I will be A LOT busier and I will get to work with some amazing nurses who I have only been able to pass report onto. Please pray for me as I make this change at the end of March. As with any new change I am excited and nervous.

Happy Valentine's Day Weekend!

I LOVE YOU! I hope that those are three words you will hear this weekend. I have always had a bad attitude about Valentine's Day because I felt like you shouldn't need a special day to say "I love you". I am trying to be positive this year. We are just going to have fun this weekend. No special plans. I have many things in my life that I love but the top 5 are as follows:

• God
• Nicholas
• My Family
• Shilo
• Friends
