The crazy reality that I am heading off to Africa again is drawing closer, 22 more days to be exact!!
I am pretty sure I can say that my life will never be the same again :). Some may say that I have gone off the deep end, I say I finally got off the boat and am walking on water......totally walking on faith and doing what I feel drawn to do.
A whole series of life events, some that I created and some that I had no choice but to live through, brought me to the place that I am at today. I've prayed for God to show me "life" through His lens and give me the courage to "Go". Now, I walk with very little plans, in fact, right now I just have a 3 month commitment to serve on Mercy Ships. I would love to stay for long term, yet have to wait and see if those doors open. I just know that God has filled me with 30 years of diverse nursing experience, a passion and skills for community health education and an overwhelming desire to combine it all as I share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What I know for sure is...........
"The harvest is truly great, but the laborers are few" Luke 10:22
There will always be work to do, and my intention, God willing, is that my "career" will allow me to "go out" as a full-time missionary nurse/community health educator to seek and save the lost and to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
Please keep me in your prayers :). I truly know that I am never alone, and also know the amazing power of prayer.
You are and will be in my prayers, Aunt Kathy! We are so happy for you but you will be truly missed!
