GOD is the only TRUTH

Ohh today was so much fun. Living up at the lake is of course AWESOME in every way possible other than the fact I am away from friends and mom but Ashely and Cohen came to visit today. He is sooo adorable and my friend Ashely is one of the best moms I know and is expecting another baby in December. We had alot of fun, ate breakfast and lunch, and I am slowly learning that the reality of having a baby is HARD HARD work for ANYONE (even if you are ready). Cohen is 1 year old and into EVERYTHING we have around the house....candles, spices, doors, remote controls are his favorite. I am now realizing how hard it is to take care of a little one and having tons of respect for all parents out there. :)

So ever since I have been a little girl I have loved church...and the word of GOD. Sunday was easter Sunday of course and I wanted soo badley to go to church with my mother. This did not happen due to circumstances of driving (which should not matter in the first place). I did though have a wonderful morning watching a church service on TV and reading "A purpose Drivin Life"by Rick Warren. (great book and I encourage everyone to read it). I am currently trying to read one chapter a day until I finish it. There are 40 chapters total. I do want a closer relationship with GOD and I know this for a fact. I grew up in the Baptist church where I went every Sunday with my family. Getting away from it was actually an easy thing to do when I became involved in the busy life of being a high school and college student consumed around my friends. I am looking right now for a church that I can enjoy along with my boyfriend Derek. (even though he works most Sundays, he wants to try and go). I think this would be a great way to form a closer relationship with God and actually help our growth together as a couple. :) Looking forward to see how this works out!

ONE MORE THING FOR THE DAY--- my mom calls me and says "Leigh I think you should go work for a strike". She said nurses are on strike in Philly and they need nurses to come and work for however long and are making up to 10,000 a week. I am thinking (WOW, ALOT OF MONEY and could pay off alot of debt ---credit cards, school loans, and car).....ONE PROBLEM---> I have a contract with the hospital I work with to pay off the rest of my school loans which adds up to 40,000 total cost. I could break the contract and end up paying all the debt off myself. Or continue to work for Carilion until my contract is done in December 2011. Debatable but I need help in making this decision? If anybody has in insight as to what to do??? Also planning on going back to school to get my Masters in Nursing as a Clinical Nurse Specialist. I could hold that off for a few years or go ahead and get that while I am holding out the contract at Carilion. Probably my safest option there. I NEED INSIGHT THOUGH....ANY THOUGHTS WILL HELP? :)
