RDH Update

Written : December, 2012
Six of Six Blogs on God's Faithfulness concerning my AR RDH Boards 

Well, I did it.  This past week I worked my first three days as a Dental Hygienist in AR.  I had many emotions going into this job.  During Sunday morning Bible Study I gave a praise report concerning getting the job.  Then, you might can guess my next prayer request?  Yep, "Help Lord with the computer portion of the job.   As I have already stated in the previous Blogs, I really am not too nervous concerning the DH part, but somewhat nervous about the Xrays & the computer.

God gave me many blessings this past week.  You might now care about all this DH detail stuff, but God knows that it is important to me.  By listing all these blessings, just keeps reminding me of God's faithfulness & it encourages my faith.
1) Before I went to work I noticed that I didn't cram with any studing.  Normally, with all my other jobs I would study & cram.  I found myself letting all that go.
2) I loved working with Laci, the other Hygienist, who didn't judge me or look down on me.  She was so helpful & I learned a lot from her.  She kept telling me that I can do this, slow down, & that I'm thinking too much.  She was awesome.
3) The computer software was pretty easy to work with due to my last job that I had in Franklin, NC over a year ago.
4) I struggled with making appointments that were due in 6 mon, but on the second day I finally sat down with Laci & wrote out some cheat notes.  After that I didn't have any problems.
5) Xrays: After a couple of times, they became ordinary.  Before I was trying to talk patients out of them.  Now, it is no big deal.
6) Jamie the receptionist was so very helpful.
7) I stayed on schedule & many times there were cancellations that helped my time schedule.
8) I couldn't believe it, but Dr. Lane paid me extra money than he told me.  Either he forgot or a bonus due to Christmas, or he changed his mind.  Whatever, I'm grateful.

I am actually looking forward to going back.  Also, there might be other days that I can work than the suggested 10 days that were suggested.

I just thank the Lord for the answer prayer & blessings for & during this first job.

Thank you Lord.  You were faithful again.

PS-Jan 13, 2013-Asked our Bible Study to pray for 2 extra days of work.  Yesterday 1.21.13 I was asked to work for Wed. 1.23.13 due to the other RDH sub was sick.  I hated that she is sick, but I'm grateful for the extra day.  Thank you Lord. 

10.3.2016

Well, After reading all of the blogs of faith on my RDH Journey, I wanted to give a quick update.  I can't remember too long during the next year, I gave up my RDH shengle.  The jobs were not coming along, I had lost so much confidence in my knowledge ability, I wasn't enjoying it-a huge stressor,  the cost for keeping up with the expenses of three States, & 47 hr of credit every other year-- was too much on us.  I felt my real ministry was helping with the family-enjoying a lot of baby sitting at the time, plus going back & forth to check on the Mothers.

At the present time, I am still enjoying keeping & helping with the grands, but the Lord has directed me to being a Core Leader with a ministry called CommunityBible Study (CBS), which is a huge commitment.  I'm so grateful for this opportunity.
