Preparations.

In just 3 short weeks, I will be on my way to Port-Au-Prince, Haiti. I feel, in some small way, that the sum of everything in my life has led me to this point. In the coming weeks, I will be leaving my job in Connecticut, moving out of my apartment, and beginning a 3 month mission trip in Haiti. It feels weird to say that. Upon my return, God and I will be "figuring things out". For those of you who know me, that is not my personality in the least. A leap of Faith is what some may call this, at times it feels more like a cliff.
 
But God...
  • Gave me this great passion to serve those less fortunate than myself
  • Gave me great nursing experience to prepare me for anything
  • Gave me an opportunity to combine those two things in to one great adventure for Christ
 
It hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine. There has been a lot of sacrifice. A lot of pruning. I look to scripture for times when I feel like all of this may be too much. Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:3-4
 
My mom brought this song yesterday and I thought I'd share it with you. Thanks for your support and prayer in this endeavor and forgive me if this feels disjointed, I'm not a pro at this blog thing. =)
