Blogging's been a little slow. Not much happening here but lots of rest, relaxation, and good fellowship. I have less than 2 weeks left before I'm back in Mozambique. I'm ready to be back as I miss my munchkins bunches, but I'm enjoying the family and friends time along with simply resting and breathing. I'll be leaving the US on the 10th to head to London with one of my closest friends Jackie. Mission: to secure a 13 month visa from the Mozambican embassy there. oh and to catch up with Jackie and enjoy the sights a little as my last hoorah before heading back for another 6 months. I am really excited and very thankful for this opportunity.
I have to say that I have been very blessed by being home. It's been really good and I've so enjoyed catching up with everyone. I'm thankful for each of you that have really been interested in my story and all that God's doing. I've loved sharing it with you. Thanks to each of you that have spared a bed or room for me, provided meals, fellowship, and laughs and hugs. It's been good. really good. I wish I could give ya'll something back for everything you've done for me and all the support that ya'll have showered me with. I can't....well not exactly in a physical way. But, I do have something for you.
It's my video I've been travelling around sharing with everyone. It's 14 minutes of sheer enjoyment documenting my last 8 months in Mozambique. So sit back, pop some popcorn, and start watching. You'll learn something too...the first few minutes are pictures I've taken from the community in and around Maputo where I'm living with facts about Mozambique. The rest is featuring me and all the kids you are helping me serve along with a few short stories of God's goodness and mercy. I hope this gives you some insight into the lives of these little ones, Mozambique, and the mission i'm serving! Thanks again. I love each of you. I couldn't do it without ya'll.

Mozambique Video June '08-Feb. '09
Welcome
Welcome! After serving as a nurse in a children's center in Mozambique, Africa and directing the medical care of close to 50 children under the age of 5 years from 2008-2010 over 8,000 miles from friends and family, God has led me to spend a bit of time back at home in the States. I completed two online graduate certificate programs in public health with concentrations in Global Health and Maternal Child Health in August 2011 while working part-time in a local hospital here in Nashville. And, in this next season, God has called me to stay here in the States, move into a transitional neighborhood to walk life alongside them, and continue being closely involved in local and global missions. If you are reading this for the first time and would like to understand more of how I got to Mozambique check out May '07 and Feb '08 under blast from the past below. Or to find out how I decided upon this current's season's endeavor, check out Oct '11. Enjoy!

"Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sheep."
-Psalm 127: 1-2
"Enlarge the place of your tent, and let the curtains of your habitations be s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out; do not hold back; lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes." -Isaiah 54: 2
