I would love to hug your neck in real life 'cuz firefighters are, and have always been, my heroes. From everything I've read about you on your blog, I have no doubt that God will be able to direct that all important focus in times of dire need to something that will impact people for Him. Who I am is a Child of God and that is where my true and total identity must lie. How He has shaped me is What I am, but like clay, we never seem to harden and with patience and work, He can re-work us to whatever useful vessel He choses. I think it's amazing and awesome that you perservered and followed your heart to acheive your dream.

LOL!!! Perhaps something to do with receiving many gifts in the same week.<BR/><BR/>My comment was as much as for ADHD as for you. See I have a tad bit of a rejection complex based on our childhood. It's important for me to be liked. So ADHD bends over backwards to make sure she always says glowing things to me (and that everyone else does too) so I don't go pout in the corner. (LOL! Figuratively speaking of course). So your comment was just hysterical to me. I knew ADHD would be explaining herself all over the place to make sure I knew that I was still "the favorite."<BR/><BR/>See, she's not the only one with issues. :DKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458659497370768232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115717944488548828.post-71456966272400408822008-10-12T19:07:00.000-04:002008-10-12T19:07:00.000-04:00CK - Spoken like a true sister!

Most people don't ever find the job that they are satisfied in.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you realize that it's time to step down because of your back. Your compassion even shows in your reasons because I suspect it's your concern for others that prompt you the most.<BR/><BR/>CK had some good suggestions. Take the matter to God and find out what His dream for your life is. Part of the equipment is the love for the task. That is the major motivating factor.<BR/><BR/>Great post!!<BR/>-----------------<BR/>CK - You said "eventually one of you <B><I>may</I></B> die" Forgive me for laughing at this but I do think there's a strong possibility.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115717944488548828.post-54851659014147168772008-10-11T18:40:00.000-04:002008-10-11T18:40:00.000-04:00p.s.

Kids grow up. Wife - eventually one of you may die, if it's hubby first have you lost your worth, your identity? Job - you can lose it. Child of God must be our true identity.<BR/><BR/>Having said that - God did design us for his glory to do the good works he prepared in advance for us to do. What did he prepare for you? <BR/><BR/>Crisis worker. ER Nurse? That would require a lot of training, but would be very rewarding. Have you thought of Red Cross Volunteer?<BR/><BR/>Just remember, whatever you do put God first and he will clear the way for you.

I think every firefighter I've ever met LOVES their job. Wow - that's so awesome.<BR/>You are a courageous woman - but as much for persevering toward your certification as for running into burning buildings.<BR/><BR/>I will pray for you as you seek the next step. There IS a next step. Thanks for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
