I'm on the website!

I'm on the Lifehope website! http://www.lifehope.om.org/index.php/about-us/whos-who
They're in alphabetical order by last name, so I'm about halfway down the page. As you can see, we're a diverse and interesting bunch here.

While you're there, check out the 'News' page (under 'Get Inspired'). There's some great stories of different Lifehope ministries and how God is using them.

Firsts

It's 2014 already! 2013 has been an amazing year of growth, with so many firsts for me. 

• leaving North America
• flying alone
• riding a bus and subway
• having friends from other cultures
• being the only native English speaker in a group
• living in a different country
• eating real fish and chips
• embracing my God-given gifts
• and so many more!

If you had asked me on Jan 1, 2013, I would have had no idea where I would be one year later. It was several more weeks before I learned of the librarian position with OM and started to pursue that. If you had told me then that I would be in the UK with all these new experiences under my belt, I might not have believed you.

Similarly, I have no clue where I will be come 2015. I know God has something cool planned for me, but He hasn't told me yet what it is. I could be anywhere next year. That's an exciting thought, but a little scary as well.

I would appreciate your continued prayers for this new year. I expect it will hold many more new experiences, some of which will be wonderful and some which will be challenging. I don't know what my future holds, so I am praying that God will give me clarity, wisdom, and assurance of His direction.

I hope that your New Years was bright and filled with hope for the days ahead, because of the trust that you have in our great God.
