Starting Week 3 of My Life in Vegas....

You know what? Life is good right now.

I got a volunteer position at a Family Resource Center here in Las Vegas. I got in contact with someone and they would like me to come in and work with them for a few hours every Tuesday since that is the day I have available. I will be given the opportunities to help families that are in need of some sort of resource in the community. I will be coming in for my first meeting in a few days and they will tell me what they would like me to do. Apart of my volunteering will involve counseling some sort of group of young kids or teens, facilitate in parenting classes, making phone calls, and possible child care? Im not sure, but I am excited to be able to help the community in some way and gain some great experience. This makes me excited.

I am really feeling blessed right now. I am happy to get involved in my church again. This morning, we went to go feed the homeless downtown. Being with those that are less fortunate than myself just for a couple of hours puts life in perspective for me. I believe that we are put on this earth for many reasons. One of those reasons is to show goodness to others.  Why cant I remember that ALL THE TIME?

Life is so unpredictable. I am back at home... and happy. I have a good job that gives me the opportunity to save up money. However, I am making good use of my free time to better prepare me for my next step in life. I pray that my motivation stays consistent.

Life is good.... but I'm missing California.

My Life Lately.

I am no longer in California. I am now back in my hometown, Las Vegas, NV. I was living in California for about a month after I graduated. During that time, I have been working part time for the college in the afternoon and volunteering at the nursing home in the morning and applying for work. I have been looking in countless of websites and sending out resumes. Apparently, no one needs an unexperienced and under qualified social worker.. go figure.

A few weeks ago, I got a job offer at a Knee and Shoulder Institute Clinic here in Las Vegas, NV as a receptionist at this high end clinic. I took the job offer and moved back home. I am working at this clinic and saving up money for the "next step" in my life... which is unknown at this point. I am actually very much enjoying my new job! I am getting to know a lot of people and have been learning a lot, which are two things I very much enjoy.

Moving back home is a little overwhelming. Having my last few years of college and moving my life back into one small room was weird. Crazy enough though, I am feeling good. I have been placing my future in God's hands and the fact that I somehow ended back in Las Vegas, I cant help but to know that I need to be here. I am still aiming to get experience in what I graduated with and knowing that I am doing that while working full time, I pray that I am making the best choice that I can at this point.

So that's that. My current life in a nutshell. Moved back home, working full time at a clinic and saving up, still looking into social work opportunities, and keeping my eye on the prize.

God is good. Life is good. Stay tuned :)
