I'm going!

Guess what? I'm going to Miami in January for Latin America Missions orientation! I can't believe that the ball is finally rolling. My manager okayed the leave of absence and said that she would do anything for me. Why did I spend my whole shift today worried about what would happen? Satan must've had a field day with me today.

I asked for patience and God has given me PLENTY of opportunity to practice it:)

So now I have to see if I can go on a wait list for my MRI, finish my passport appy, and get organizing!

Please pray for diligence and focus.

Decisions

Last night at around 2:30am I realized that on January 22 I have an MRI appointment. Right at the beginning of orientation.

Now I have to decide (and soon) if I really need to MRI or do I have enough faith to believe my doctor when he says that I don't really need one. I don't want to mess with my knee. If something is wrong, I would like to have it dealt with BEFORE I leave Canada.

There is another orientation in June, but then I wouldn't be leaving in the summer (pr0vided I have all my support raised).

God, what are you trying to teach me?

Carina, who are you? Thanks for your encouraging messages!

The road to latin america

I finally stepped up and sent in my resume and a picture of myself to Latin America Mission.

And Guess what???!!!

I recieved an invitiation to attend Canditate Orientation from January 21-31 in Miami! Yay!

So, please pray with me as tomorrow I am planning to approach my manager to ask for a leave of absence. January is the busiest time for retail. BUT if this is something that God really wants me to do, I shouldn't have a problem.

Pray for confidence and clarity. And that my words would be God's words.

I've been crying tears of JOY all day!

Blessings:)

Stepping Out...

Well I FINALLY filled out the preliminary application for Latin America Mission to work with at risk kids. I am learning about myself as I go. I knew I was a procrastinator...but not this bad! I need to send in my resume and a picture of myself...why is it so hard to find time to take a two second picture?

But, this process has helped me to focus and get some much needed medical things done...physio on my knee, vision stuff and dental...I keep putting my trip to the dentist off...I hate the dentist!

Please pray that I can become more focused and diligent as the process will only go as fast as I do!

Blessings!
