Greetings - from the United States!
As many of you know, my two year contract with Paradise Bound Ministries came to an end in the middle of August, 2012. Living and serving among the Guatemalan people was an amazing experience and I was blessed beyond measure to be used in such a grand way! So many life-changing friendships and memories. However, I felt God tugging on my heart - whispering that He had a greater plan for me back home in Michigan. It was time to share Christ's love with those in my own backyard...my not-so-comfortable "comfort zone."
By God's grace, I was hired at my dream job and booked a one-way ticket to fly from one home to the other. I am now settled into a place of my own in Grand Rapids, and I LOVE going to work as a Neonatal Intestive Care nurse at Helend DeVos Children's Hospital. It is quite a change of scenery, but God has indeed called me to use my gifts and talents to minister to these precious little ones and their families.
THANK YOU so much for all of your prayers and support during my international journey! Today, I continue to covet your prayers, love and support as I embark on the next chapter of my life. May God continue to write the words on every page as HIS story and plan unfolds!
