This past Friday was my 1 year anniversary of working at Medical Teams International. Exactly one year ago I started as a temporary employee just 2 weeks before the big annual auction. I was thrown into the craziness and didn't really know what was going on most of the time. I stayed plenty busy and after a couple of months I was hired on as a full-time employee in the Development Department.
I am so blessed to have a job that I love! My workplace is definitely unique - in a good way. For example, one day last week a coworker came in after a rough morning. She opened up to us about what was going on and we all stopped to pray for her. Prayer is not an uncommon occurance at my office. It's normal for us to open or close a meeting in prayer or stop during a stressful day and take time to pray together. We have a chapel service every Tuesday morning where we sing and then hear words of encouragement from guests speakers or fellow staff members. I know that's not typical in the workplace and I try not to take it for granted.
I also really enjoy my coworkers. MTI has an amazing and talented staff and I'm so thankful to be a part of it.

The 2010 Great Adventure Dinner and Auction is this Saturday. This is a crazy week at work. Pray for a successful event -- and our sanity!!
I'm thinking about you this week, and praying that you get it all done without any stress! Loved the picture of you at work. It's funny how one pictures things/people/places in their mind. Deb and Annie don't look anything like I thought.
