I love me some NY!

"In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York" by Jay-Z Empire State of Mind (Again I don't endorse all of this song)

Man, I just absolutely love NY, it is the best place in the world! I just love all the excitement, the endless possibilities here. There is just so much to do I could never be bored. Did I mention that I love NY....!

Welcome to NYC!

Wow, who would have thought that upon the mere hearing of Christian Community Health Fellowship (CCHF) that I would actually become employed by an affiliated clinic? In my desire to do God’s work full time, I stumbled upon CCHF, which seemed like a perfect marriage my skills (health promoter) and God’s calling on my life (to serve Him full time). Upon hearing about CCHF, I got to attend my first conference in 2006 with not many promising opportunities for employment afterward. However, after attending the conference this past year in 2012, I saw Dr. David Kim of Beacon Christian Community Health Clinic, and from there, conversations regarding possible job opportunities there began.
 
After much prayer, seeking God’s will, and waiting for His timing, I received the call that would change my life! I got a job—not only at a clinic that was a part of CCHF but also one that was in a city (New York City) in which I have wanted to live since visiting there in 2010. I trusted God and packed my bags to come to Beacon Christian Community Health Clinic this winter.  My first official day on the job was December 24, 2012, and culture shock has taken place, as my Midwestern accent often gets mistaken for that of a Southern belle. I enjoy learning so many new things at once—a new workplace setting, new groups of people with whom to interact, etc.

CCHF has been an integral part of my spiritual growth and has helped me to realize that I can bring Jesus to my workplace in a real, practical way and that the two do not have to be separate. I look forward to the journey on which God has me here at Beacon Christian Community Health Clinic. I have also claimed a verse that I was taught in an inner city summer mission’s trip—Micah 6:8—as I do His work here:”What does the Lord God require of me? But to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly before my God.” I hope that I can do a good job of living out this verse.
