a door closes as another opens...

I just finished my 4th weekend of clinicals and I am really enjoying all of the people I am getting to meet and the experience that I am getting to have, it is alot of fun, alot of work too! We have several big assignments during this clinical rotation, and I am excited because I have completed 2 of the 4! I only have one thing left to do on one of the others and they last one I have to prepare a small seminar about one of my patients to present to my clinical group on the last day of clinicals. We have 4 days of class left, 4 days of clincials, 1 test review day, test 5, a final exam & our standardized test that covers the entire class. I know that seems like alot but it really isn't that much!

A week or so ago William & I were presented with a opportunity to step-up and lead a home fellowship group/connection group. We accepted and yesterday was a last week with our group that we have been with for 3 1/2 years. It is sad! I am excited about the new opportunity though! We are going to be a part of what was the Cole/Weddle HFG, now it will be the Lewallen/Weddle HFG. It will definitly be an adjustment, one of the ladies that is in this group taught at the high school I went to my senior year, so that tells ya how diverse this group it, this will also be the first time that I am not the baby of the group. Just keep us in yours prayers as we start our new journey beginning next Sunday. I am excited about growing my relationship with God as well as leading others & guiding them towards our heavenly father as well. Since last night was our last time at our old group the leaders got us this lovely cookie cake that said "We will miss you William & Casey". God has differnt plans for us! We will definitly miss being a part of the Knoble/Daspit HFG. Here's a picture of the cookie cake they got us, it was the first time I had had one and it was delicious!
