A Happy Day…

Oh wow! Oh yes!

I actually have a happy event to post and share…

Unbelievable but true….  

so I’m in this new country and feeling alone… I’m struggling.  I left a job I loved… left a job I was called too and was good at.  I thought that the move here could be wrong… thought it could be bad.  I was told I sucked…. no in so many words but close enough.  My self esteem was gone… I was struggling.

But today I proved myself… proved myself to them and me.  My first rescue!   Without giving too much away, I did my first rescue for the coast guard.  They doubted me… I doubted myself, but I came through.  I did my job, I did my calling… it wasn’t the same as before, but it was my calling: to save others, to help others, so others may live.

I feel better… I have much to learn and far to go, but the mission remains the same…

I needed today, and that man needed me.

I’m doing what has been chosen for me… just have to hang in there!
