i have 5 weeks of work left! 15 shifts! and then a 2 week break with my fam and then a 4 1/2 week training class with mercy ships and then....
to africa!!!! i sent my check for my ticket today. it is crazy and overwhelming and exciting and scary and i can't wait! somehow buying the ticket made it all a bit more real today.
this has been a time of frustration (the waiting and being apart from family and friends) so it has also been a time of patience (not so good at that)
a time of learning to trust (in the waiting and now with the money part) some days i do well, others, not so well
a time of sadness (at saying goodbye for now)
a time of happiness (trying to cram in family and friend time as much as possible)
a time of learning (more about me, more about Jesus and this call He gave me, and so much more)
just wanted to share where i am in all this
About Me
- natalie
- ok, who am i? i am a believer in Jesus Christ, a daughter, a sister, a sister-in-law, an aunt, a friend, a nurse. i hate wearing shoes, i would go barefoot most of the time if i could. i don't really have a set style, one day it's all about being girly, the next its' about comfort and i wear pajamas and houseshoes in public, and the next it may be jeans and a punk shirt, it's all about the mood. most days, i can honestly say that when i got up and got dressed, i didn't think about you but just about what i wanted to wear (as long as it fits within societal norms). the most important thing in my life is my walk with God. some days i'm better at it than others. the next most important thing in my life is family and friends. being an aunt has been so rewarding but no more so than being a sister and a daughter, a friend. my friends live all over the world (literally). by profession, i am a nurse currently serving as a ward nurse on the m/v africa mercy.
