PROBLEM: I was struggling to stay focused, determined, and driven while in Kansas City.
SOLUTION: I moved to Austin TX. (I write this blog in a coffee shop in Austin)
PROBLEM: My last visit in Kansas was to my mother's friend who happens to be a professor of nursing at Wichita State. As I left her house, I turned to say goodbye and accidentally hugged her. I have been used to hugging people goodbye over the last few weeks, and forgot exactly where I was...
SOLUTION: She laughed at me, and I laughed my way home.
PROBLEM: My first day in Austin my truck broke down and I thought it was going to be beyond repair.
SOLUTION: Though it looked horrible, it turns out the car only lost a pin that kept the wheel where it needed to be. Total cost to repair: $150. Amazing.
PROBLEM: I don't have a job, home, or church in Austin.
SOLUTION: I have worked on getting all 3 of those things, and am currently waiting to hear back from the Hiring Coordinator at the hospital here, I have found a place to live which will be nice and cheap, and I have meetings set up this week to meet with pastors at 2 local churches.
PROBLEM: I have a test in 14 days to qualify for a better job at the hospital and become a fully licensed EMT-Basic.
SOLUTION: 3 straight days of coffee shop studying. I only took a 10 minute break to write this post now. I grow more and more confident in my ability to pass this test as I study more and more.

Though it is possible that all of these things will not work out, I am fully satisfied in my own approach to the problems. I have worked hard and feel like God is blessing me with solving each small problem at a time.
