The last eight years of my life have been consumed with Africa. I
came to Africa the first time in October 2000 and tried to come back
since that point. It took me three years to work out the contract
that I had with the first hospital I worked at, then it took me over
two years of applying and raising funds to actually make it here, and
now I have been here for three years. When I come back, I suddenly
will have no purpose or direction. I will suddenly become 'the girl
who lived in Africa'... but doesn't know what she really wants to be
when she grows up. This is going to be very difficult for me until I
have a renewed vision for my future. Obviously I have already made
the choice to settle back in ATL, but there are so may other decisions
that must be made. Do I want to work in a hospital, big or small, do
I want to take a non-nursing job until I get readjusted to American
life, do I want to go back to school immediately and get my
masters... So many choices! I refuse to make the decision now as I
need all of my attention to help me finish well. But when I come home
I will have some difficult decisions to make. So, how can you help?
Please pray that God will reveal to me the next steps in my life,
where I should go from here... I love you all and can't wait to see you!
Only 5 weeks left in Namibia!
Hugs to all!
