What’s Next?

Friends, I have some exciting news!!  After 3 1/2 years away, I get to return to Haiti!  I’ve been waiting and waiting for God to tell me what’s next, as He doesn’t usually tell me until right before, what I’m supposed to do – He told me in July of 2010 that I was supposed to go to nursing school and I applied to the local community college and started the prerequisites in September of 2010.  For the last few months, I’ve been struggling with some worry.  I was coming to the end of my degree and I was about to graduate as an RN, and I had no idea what was next.  Visit Haiti short term?  Move to Haiti?  Work as an RN in Labor and Deliver?  Another part of the hospital?  Go on to continue my education?  I trusted that God would tell me what I was supposed to do, but I still felt like I had to figure it out.  I felt like I had to decide.  Then I remembered that I have one purpose in life – to bring glory to God.  I am simply a vessel to lead others to Him.  If I’m allowing Him to use me, He will tell me what I’m supposed to do in His perfect timing.  I can rest in His perfect peace and wait for Him to open the door for me.  My only job is to knock on the doors He puts in front of me, so that’s what I’ve been doing.  The other night I received an e-mail inviting me to go to Haiti on August 8th!  About a week before the paperwork is due, nonetheless.  I will be going with a group of about 16 people and we’ll be holding medical clinics in villages surrounding St. Ard, where I usually stay.  I am so excited!  I’m trusting God to work out every part of this trip, including the finances, so I’d appreciate your prayers. 🙂  I’ll post more soon, as I have a lot of big changes coming in my life. 🙂
