Making Progress

The week before my birthday on Dec. 14th I decided to quit my only job, which was part-time and causing me emotional and physical pain. I didn't have another job in place and knew I was going to lose my excellent benefits, but it was still not worth it to me too stay any longer. However, in doing this I was walking by faith and not by sight, and God came to my rescue because of my faith. In my last week on my job I interviewed for another position that was full-time with another company. That same week I got word that I was hired, and started Dec.20th. God is truly good. I am so thankful for this opportunity, so now I can move forward toward my goal of obtaining my own place. My dear friend and fellow former post-bac student has an interview in January at UIC, and I am claiming it for her that she will be accepted for the c/o 2012. I will be right behind her in the medical school c/o 2013 or 2014 depending on what I get accomplished and when in 2012, but my goal is still the same to attend medical school despite the odds. I just have to continue walking by faith and not by sight, judge not by appearances, and take risks.
