Ready to Go!!

Hi everyone! I am at home in Smyrna, TN spending some time with my fam, learning all I can about Sierra Leone, and trying to be patient as I wait to leave. Something I learned at UMVIM Connect is that in the ministry it is all about God's timing. I am learning though that patience truly is a virtue! This summer working at Northside UMC has taught me about being flexible and having an open mind and heart to where God leads. Sometimes no matter how much we plan, God will steer us in a completely different direction or enrich our plans even more than we could have ever possibly imagined! God has given me such an amazing opportunity to care for His people. I have never been more excited! Thank you to all who are partnering with me in this ministry through your prayers and financial support. There is no way this would happen without you! I leave for Sierra Leone on September 2nd. My next entry will be as soon as I can get to a computer when I get there. Peace be with you.
