It seems everything at Casa comes in waves. Nothing really happened for like a week so I felt like there was nothing really to report. Then I had to work three shifts in a row. So I worked from 10 pm- 6 am over night, then I had 8 hours to get things done AND sleep, then I had to work from 2 pm- 10 pm, then I had 8 hours off and had to work again at 6 am- 2 pm. So I was very tired Monday and had to help run errands after I got off my shift. Yesterday I worked again at 6 am. Today I finally feel like I can breathe and then my world gets shaken again, I just had a meeting with my two supervisors...
The two girls that are in charge in my hosue are moving to an FBC (family-based-care) house. Which means that the other girl I live with, Nicole, and I are now in charge! Ahh...time to sink or swim. I feel like I just got here. The next week and a half of my life are going to be crazy busy. There is so much stuff we have to do.
Also, we discharged a little girl and got another one on Monday after my three crazy schedules. She is turning 3 in a month and she is an utter mess. She is the hardest child I have had to deal with since I've been here. I want to kill her parents. She needs some serious love and prayers if you want to send them her way, but she is adorable as all get-out.
I also saw a very cool Asian-Amercian dance show at the outdoor theater in the park near our home. They put on free shows every week showcasing all different acts. It is very cool, and we got free tickets to the Carrie Underwood concert tonight! I'm thinking of you Tanicia :)
Goodbye for now. I can't promise consistent updates but I will try. Hope everyone out there has an amazing week and feels the love of God.
P.S. Shauna Niequist spoke at church on Sunday and was amazing. You should read her book "Bittersweet."
Oh, my dear girl! When we are there perhaps we can help by running errands, doing laundry, helping cook - whatever you need to ease your burden. We will be praying for you and for all the precious wounded children in your care. Can't wait to see you!
