Well, I've been told that I'm a Registered Nut now. Seems that it was questionable before...LOL!
I am so happy that the crud is all behind me and I can move on with my plans. I know God helped me cause I didn't study but a total of about two hours for this test, as I've been working so much. I didn't think the test was as hard as I'd expected either, so it was God working there too!
Anyway, I'm taking a break from my packing to read a little here, but will be busy for the next month or so. I'll keep you all posted when I can. Love you all, and thanks for the prayers and support.

I've gone and done it now! I'm on Facebook!!!
I've not been here in a couple weeks and I heard that some were asking about my whereabouts and well-being, so I thought I'd check in and give those of you who care an update on what I've been up to.
At this moment, I'm in a motel in Madison, WI preparing to take my RN boards tomorrow afternoon. I'm not too nervous, but just want to pass.
I'm also moving in three weeks...back home to Herrin, IL. There are several reasons for my move, the biggest being the weather in Green Bay. I just can't take the cold 8 months of the year. Also, the price of gas would kill me working there, as I currently live 35 miles from there and would be working there as a RN if I stayed. Moving closer isn't an option, as my children are still in school, and I wouldn't want them starting a new school.
In addition, I've not been attending church for quite some time for various reasons, mainly because I have finally come to the realization that staying in a UPC church isn't good for me, and here, there are no other options besides attending a Lutheran or Catholic church. No thanks. Close to Herrin, there is a former UPC preacher who is continuing an existing church that also used to be UPC when the women pastors who were there were alive and well. I may be attending there. There is another member of this forum who also attends there and I know other people who attend there who have also left the UPC.
I was in Herrin earlier this month and got a job at a hospital starting on Aug. 11 and signed a lease for a house. I believe God gave me the house because it pretty much landed in my lap. I didn't have many options after looking for a house online, so I prayed and told God I needed a house. My last day there, I got a call to look at a house after calling a realtor to check for other options. She had one 3 bdm house for rent. I loved it and gave her a security deposit and will be moving in Aug. 3rd.
In the meantime, I've been working every day, sometimes up to 14 hours a day. I only have three days off between Monday and July 29th, which will be my last day at my current job, and those three days are busy with moving, taking a trip to Chicago to apply for the transfer of my nursing license (Illinois requires me to be fingerprinted when applying for a license), painting and cleaning the house. So I've not been able to be online often, and not sure when I'll be back in any capacity.
Anyway, I will check in from time to time as my schedule allows, and if you want to contact me, just send me a PM.
Love you all.
Oh, and I'm shocked about LS. I saw part of that video when LR was watching it at my house. I can't believe anyone would 'amen' the things that man was saying. I was horrified!

I know a former UPC person in West Frankfort LOL I cant imagine there being two churches there...I went to JCM with him and grew up at FPC wit his wife
If we are talking about the same people..
You wont be far from me We will have to meet
There are two Apostolic churches. Both used to be UPC. The one that remains is ultra-con, last I heard. The other is now out of the UPC. It's the one I plan on visiting after I move.
And yes, we will meet. I gotta see PP again too.
Who is the former UPC person? PM me if you wish.
