Hayley with a Y

For those of you that have been spelling my name wrong for the past 2 1/2 years, I ain't mad at cha, but now you know ;) Well, my name is Hayley Thornhill. I am the CSR at the Smyrna office, but will soon be moving to the Nashville office. I have been with TLC Medical for 2 1/2 years. I started at the Franklin office and I moved to the Smyrna office when it opened in July of 2006. I love what I do, I love the people I work with, and I love the people I work for. There is never a boring day around here, that is for sure. I am married to Jason (the Tech) and have been for a little over 2 years. We do not have any kids yet, but I'm working on that (just don't tell Jason, haha). We do have a 3 yr old Rottweiler named Obi [Wan Kenobi]. I grew up in Nolensville, TN, but I now live in Antioch. I graduated from Brentwood High School in 1999, yes, that means I will be attending my 10 year reunion next year, yikes! After high school, I attended Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville, where I majored more in socializing than my technical major which was Nursing ;) After messing around for 4 years, I took a "semester" off to get my priorities in order and during that time I met Jason. So needless to say, I did not go back, but I would like to one day. Over the past year or so, my relationship with Christ has grown enormously. It is so amazing how God just forgives and forgets, and how He is constantly chasing after us, no matter how far away we run. If you do not know how awesome Christ is, please ask me, I would love to tell you the amazing things He has done in my life. I have been working with the youth at my church for the past year, which has been amazing. We attended camp this summer, and it was there that I began to feel the calling to ministry. I haven't quite figured it all out just yet, or maybe God hasn't exposed the whole plan to me yet, but I know that He wants me in some sort of Women's and Young women's ministry. It is amazing and scary to feel such a calling, so please pray for me as God begins to reveal His plan to me. I want to leave you with a poem that pretty much sums me up (or any Christian for that matter). If there is anything else you want to know, just ask, I am an open book.

When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not shouting, "I've been saved!"
I'm whispering, "I get lost! That's why I chose this way"
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble-needing God to be my guide
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not trying to be strong
I'm professing that I'm weak and pray for strength to carry on
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not bragging of success
I'm admitting that I've failed and cannot ever pay the debt
When I say, "I am a Christian," I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught
When I say, "I am a Christian," I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I'm worth it
When I say, "I am a Christian," I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name
When I say, "I am a Christian," I do not wish to judge
I have no authority--I only know I'm loved
