No post in four months but who's counting? Since my last post, I've accepted a new position in the Office of the Governor with the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security. Having been there for over four months, it is now official and safe to say that I love my new job! Not only do I love my job responsibilities as a Grant Manager, but I really enjoy the people I work with and being in the midst of the whole Frankfort scene.
Looking back, I see now how the Lord has closed doors for the right reasons and opened new ones. I often ask myself how I got here? How did a high school girl, so "engrossed" in Anatomy and Biology classes, with her heart set on Med School and a passion for surgery, end up in government? The Man Upstairs I tell ya, the Big Guy in the sky! He knew the path that was right for me and the path in which I could make the most difference. I realize now that I wasn't meant to be a surgeon; I still love blood and guts by the way..., I was meant to serve local governments. I was meant to have a family, quite possibly, and not to be on call 24/7 without a family or social life.
In my previous job serving 17 counties and 33 cities and their elected officials, and in my current position serving the entire Commonwealth, I am blessed with the opportunity to help local governments, help thier constituents. "Help me, help you!" is my career motto. More importantly, I am able to serve first responders in my new job, something that is most rewarding to me.
More to come I promise!
