Amazed! and Overwhelmed! by how God is providing for this trip!

Headed off!!!

I wanted to give you all a quick update on me! The last few years have been intense! In two years, I have learned more than I cared to about life in a fallen world, but I wouldn’t trade the spiritual growth and intimate friendships I have developed along the way. Thank you all for your support and prayers. . . they have accomplished more than you will ever know!

And now I am off on an adventure! I have been given the opportunity to work on the Mercy Ship for 5 months. I will leave the States on July 3^rd and fly to Sierra Leone where the Ship is docked. During these 5 months I will be working as a ward nurse on a surgical unit on the ship. The ship has a pediatrics ward an adult ICU a pediatric ICU, and a few more units that I'm sure I'm going to find out about once I get there!

I covet your prayers during this adventure of mine! I do want to ask specifically for prayers regarding

• dealing with the heat! Summer in Africa. Nuff Said.
• Learning about how medicine is practiced outside the US – and being flexible
• being away from family and friends - I'm praying the Lord will bless me with good friendships while on board.
• Safety – that I “come back in one piece ok” to quote my sister

Now to figure out how to attach pictures to this blog thingie!  Hey, it worked!

I'm working on it!!

Ok, so it's not the Pulitzer writing just yet... give me a few days!
