another year

At least once a year, I feel the overwhelming need to start a blog. I fantasize that my thoughts and dreams are so profound that I should share it with the world (or at least make it available through the Internet).

Today is that day.

However, instead of starting a new one, I decided to follow up on the old one.

To start, my life has changed a bit since I posted last.

Firstly, I am cancer free! Those are words that a year and a half ago, I'd never get the opportunity to say. The fear of it coming back is still there, lurking, but I don't think that will ever go away. So, for now, I'm content to just be cancer free.

Secondly, I am no longer at my first job! When, I finished treatment, I was still so weak and shaky. The company I was with was unable to modify my job enough to allow me to recover. I'd like to say that there are no hard feelings, but there are.

However, God worked it out! I am now working for an amazing company, the Center for Student Missions! CSM is my first love, work wise. I interned with CSM in the summer of 2006 and fell in love with it. CSM is literally empowering people and changing lives (at least in my very biased view). Being a part of it again is literally a dream come true.

Which brings me to my third change. I am now living in California! I moved to take the job with CSM and I have found that I really love California! I didn't expect to, but I do.

Overall, the rebound from cancer has exceeded my dreams!
