Change is the spice of life...

As I move closer to leaving for the mission field, God continues to teach me that I am totally dependent on Him. As of right now, it looks like God is leading me away from Cusco. I am currently in a month long training program with my mission organization, MTW, to prepare me for the field. When I left home three weeks ago, I thought I was on the home stretch to Cusco and was very excited!!! My plan was to move to Peru on March 4th to start language school, but God has other plans. The team in Cusco is experiencing some changes and complications including some team members departing from the field. These things would make it really difficult for me to join the team at this time. With that in mind, I am trusting that the Lord has something else in store for me.

I know that the Lord has a perfect plan. Proverbs 19:21 says, “Many are the plans of a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” I am finding this to be true. So….now I’m in the process of figuring out where God is calling me to serve.

I am now exploring options for other sites where I can serve on the field as a nurse. I have some options, so now I'm thinking and praying through all of this. Please pray for me as I walk through this process of discovering where God is calling me to go. You can pray for clarity, patience, and wisdom as I work through all this. It’s been a wild ride so far and God has already taught me so much.

I’m looking forward to discovering the exciting future God has in store for me. Thank you for your continued support. I’ll keep you all posted on God's amazing plan for my life.

For all the Baltimore people out there, I just want to let you know I'm so jealous. No snow in Belgium.... I'm Looking forward to coming home next week. See you all soon!!!
