God has been working so deeply on my heart in so many ways over this past year. I've learned a lot from my job doing recreational therapy with elderly dementia sufferers. When things got tough and I nearly left, I realized this is where God wanted me to be. I stuck it out and found a deeper joy in what I do and a stronger connection with those in my care. When a new coworker came on board, I thought I could never get along well with someone with her personality. She talked soooo much. Haha. I have always been more of an introvert. One day, she injured her knee pretty badly, and as a massage therapist with a genuine desire to help heal others, I got down on my knees on the tile floor in our little back office and massaged her knee. I ran across to the other side of the entire facility to get her some crutches from the PT gym and brought her ice packs, too. From then on, I opened my heart more to her and now I realize that I am often talking my head off to her! (I see what you did there, God!) I'm so grateful to be able to recognize these blessings and receive them from God into my life.
