100 Things for 2016

I wasn't going to write this blog this year because I had something different in mind, but a friend told me this evening that she went looking for the blog this morning so here goes... 1) My Savior. It's been a crazy 6 months in my world, with many changes, but He has proven Himself so very faithful. He continues to prepare His way before me and I pray I can be just as faithful to Him and His calling on my life. 2) My dad. He's my rock and supports me in every career move, silly antic, and random conundrum I find myself in. 3) My Ryan Joe. Gosh, I love him so very much and it's been so fun to watch him grow. 4) My church family 5) Old friends 6) New friends 7) Living in a country where the people are allowed to choose their leaders 8) Thanksgiving dinner - will always be my favorite meal all year long 9) My friend Robbi. Even though our friendship seemed brief because she's now moving to Florida, I found a true sister in faith. 10) Ryan's mom Kristen.

They offered three services to the community - Case Management, Wrap Around (helping families with kids that are mentally ill), and Positive Paths (a skills program therapy where developmentally disabled adults  come during the day to learn skills to better their lives). I got hired on part time at the end of July and then full-time September 1st to be a case manager. I honestly had no idea such a job existed and was so excited to get to help those that our society often deem as the 'least of these.' It would take several weeks for my case worker certification to get approved so
