Internship and Overwhelmed with Busyness

Update on Change to Life #2 Internship...

I think I will really enjoy my internship and get a great work experience. The first day was a little slow since most of the clients were spanish speaking only but other days will be more fast paced with some english clients. I am primarily working with pregnant women who may be low income, immigrants, or have high risk issues. I will complete thier initial assessments, complete a social history, assess for risks and give referrals for services. We also then follow through with them until delivery and sometimes see them on the hospital floor if they are at our hospital. We also deal with crisis issues and safe haven babies, ect. The hospital I am at is a Catholic hospital so i don't have to worry about having to offer abortion as an option ect. I like the idea of being a part of a multidisciplinary team of doctors, nurses, residents,nutritionists and social workers.

I am a little overwhelmed right now with balancing life.. as this week is crazy. I like being busy but i need a breather... I am just praying for God to help me balance all my responsibilities as a student, nanny, intern, wife, friend, small group leader for youth group,and family roles. I am reminding myself to make my faith and prayer life with God a priority this year. I know that God will help me achieve all that is before me this year and still maintain the relationships with those around me. I may not be as available as I have been, but my husband, all of my friends and family are both so very important to me and I appreciate all of you. Thanks in advance for your prayers in helping me balance my responsibilities this coming year!

Update to come this weekend regarding my classes after I have my Saturday class! ugh!
