"I've got peace like river,

I've got peace like a river.

I've got peace like a river in my soul."

(Now that I have all of you singing along...:-)

 

I am asked all the time about fear.

"Aren't you afraid...."

My consistent answer from day 1 has been, no. 

I have no fears or reservations for this journey ahead.

People might call me naïve or silly for ignoring the facts.

I am fully aware  of the risks and dangers involved in traveling abroad, especially to India.

 I am equally aware of the risks of quitting my job and jumping into a career I know nothing about.

 

This has been God's journey from the beginning and He has but one rule, "Trust me."

 

 

 I have no idea what I will be doing and

only a very little idea of what life will be like.

 I have left my expectations at His feet.

 It's better that way. Easier in the long run.

(Clearly, the nurse in Uganda pulling teeth is going to be a life long lesson...)

It's not easy and don't have this all figured out.

I am Type A, firstborn, nurse

who likes to know what is going on before it happens.

It is a daily struggle. A daily submitting of myself that

will only become harder when I am out of my comfort zone.

I have made a conscious decision to leave

this adventure in between the paws of Aslan.

 But the peace that floods my soul is a sweet, sweet reward.

It is as if God is saying, "I've got this baby girl. Let's go."
