My bags are packed, I'm ready to go

Well, I just finished packing all the things I’m going to need for the next six months. It seems weird to think that everything I need is in a suitcase, carry-on and one extremely stuffed backpack! Made my last minute runs to Target and Wal-Mart with Julia today…. Hopefully I got everything.. but the way I see it, if I forgot something, it will just be an experience learning how to live with-out it!
My excitement/apprehension/nervousness is building, while at the same time I have an odd feeling of peace. I honestly believe that God has brought the opportunity to be a nurse in Guyana at the perfect timing in my life. With all the curve balls I have been hit with in the past year I can now look back and see that it is because of these curve balls that I have learned to trust and lean on Him even more than I ever have!
I leave tomorrow morning from LA and will be traveling for about 24 hours. I would LOVE for you to keep me in your constant prayers, especially these next 72 hours.
This blog will hopefully keep you updated on my happenings. I am not eloquent with words or ideas, (the fact that I just came up with that word at the top of my head is a complete shocker) but I will do my best to at least keep you informed!
I do not know what trials I will face, but I will constantly be reminded of the verse in Romans 8:28. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” I must remember that either good or bad, all things will work out!
