I thank God for my mom! How fortunate my family is to have a mom like her! We had a great "Mother's Day" weekend together -- the boys came down and we played "Settlers of Catan", worked in the yard, hiked the Lower Table Rock, and went out for Mexican food :)! 
I am discovering that I LOVE Gardening! Cultivating the ground, sewing vegetable seeds, and watering the plants. Another reason why I believe I find so much joy and satisfaction from working in our Garden is because I am reminded of the ways the Lord works in our lives. The Garden is a place I can go to think, to relax, and to pray. The Garden is looking great and I anticipate a bountiful crop this year, but for the time being I must water and allow time for the seedlings to grow.
On May 11th I officially became a Federal employee at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center & Clinics in White City, Oregon. I am working in a small 16 bed Infirmary/Treatment Room serving approx. 400 U.S. military veterans. I am thankful to have this job opportunity at this time "...serving those who have served us [our Country]." The environment is friendly and community orientated. It is my desire to cultivate a Christ like love for those whom I come into contact with (both coworkers and Veterans) at the facility. I would very much appreciate your prayers for wisdom as I step into this new season and how I can best serve the broken and wandering souls in the Name of Jesus.
May the Lord's abundant Grace and Blessing be poured out upon you today and during whatever season YOU are in right now. One thing I have learned lately is to listen...listen for the birds who sound the hopeful call that the Sun is Rising and the Day is Dawning. May your Joy be made full.
Simper Fidelis (Always Faithful),
Victoria P. Lawrence
