Fear vs. My Dreams

Image
By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Today is Friday! I haven't made a post all week but I have been pretty busy. I finished going through lesson 8 and am now studying for the quiz, cleaned the entire house, booked a Thirty One Party, and received the job from GNC.

I should be excited about the job, right? Well for some reason I have this gut feeling that it's not right. I was already told by the manager that not many people work there for a long time and to not buy a bunch of clothes for the job in case I don't stay there. I was wondering why many people don't stay there: Do they quit? Do they get fired? Why do so many people quit or get fired so soon? But I figured I didn't want to ask or know.

Another reason I'm nervous about it is because I already have to take off twice because of prior commitments. Next weekend I have a Thirty One meeting and the weekend of the Fourth of July I have a family reunion. I don't think she will be happy when we talk about my schedule tomorrow (Saturday) and that has made me anxious and I thought about just cancelling the events. However, when reading my devotional today I now feel at ease and know that God is helping me to achieve my dreams and that I shouldn't worry about what the manager at GNC or anyone else thinks.

The Confident Woman Devotional by Joyce Meyer talks about how I should start living without fear or stress and that I should not worry about doing things just to make others happy. Instead of being fearful that someone will be angry that I am not doing what they want, I should start being the person I want to be. I really think it applies to my life at the moment especially with what I've been thinking about. Family is very important to me and it should also be important to my employer as well. I want to be able to work, have time for school, and most importantly spend time with my family. So if she gets upset with me for requesting those days off and I get fired the first day then I know that it is just not meant to be and that God has other plans for me.

Hopefully tomorrow goes well but either way I will write in here what happens tomorrow on my first day.

Externship Update

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
It has been a little over a month since I started my externship! I have learned so much in the last 5 weeks and I'm excited to learn so much more. I really hope I get hired at my externship site. They have been hinting at hiring me and a few things have been said but nothing official has been said yet. If I don't get hired there I'm still thankful for the opportunity and am sure I'll get hired somewhere in the area. Since the externship started I have progressed more than I thought I would. Things I didn't think I'd be doing right now but am: *sending out samples for results *doing some callbacks to see how patients are doing *taking a client and patient to a room and then getting a history and TPR on my own *drawing blood *monitoring in patients and patients coming out of surgery I still have more ways to go but I am really proud of all my accomplishments so far. I will be publishing an official post once I'm done with my results but I just wanted

Arizona 2.0

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
Since I've last posted there have been a few major changes and events that have happened. I have vacationed in the Bahamas, we have moved to Arizona, have bought a house, and have donated my hair. I've been meaning to update this blog for a while but now here I am watching Rome, drinking some cranberry juice, and typing on my laptop. Jake got a position in Southern Arizona as a contractor so we moved here and decided to buy a house. We looked at houses online for about a month before we found this one. It had everything we wanted in a house which was difficult to find. We did a virtual tour before deciding to put down an offer. It was accepted! Then we flew out to Arizona to walk through the home twice before going back to Tennessee and packing up all our stuff. After three days and both mine and Jake's cars breaking down in Texas we finally made it to Arizona. We lived out of a hotel for about a month. Because we were staying there so long, we received a special ra

Finishing School, Yard Work, and Getting Back Into Running

By Rebecca Duerrwaechter
I'm hoping to get back into the weekly recaps now that I have finished the academic portion of my schooling. Yes, that's right! I've finished the academic portion of my studies and now it's just time for my clinical studies! Last week I finished my last exam and this past week I've been updating my resume, making cover letters, getting paperwork together, and going into the veterinary hospitals and clinics in my area. So I figured what great way to celebrate this achievement by sitting down with a cup of coffee and writing a little blog post. Let's take this post back to last Monday, the 14th of August. Monday was a pretty great day considering it is when I took my final exam! I got a 96%. Even though I got one question wrong and could prove that I answered correctly with my textbook I'm still pretty happy with my grade. I also uploaded a new vlog on my youtube channel of my previous week while eating breakfast outside with the kitti
