As I start to pack up my room in preparation for moving out, it is becoming more real that I will be leaving soon. I've started shopping for things I will need overseas, soap, hairdryer, personal products, ect. I've gotten my antimalarial pills. I've cancelled some doctors appointments, and I have 8 days of work left.
And I have a strange peace that God is taking care of everything. I can't help but talk about God in these blogs. I'm lost without God. I don't deserve his love for me, but I can feel it. He is alive and he is the one leading me to Liberia. At first glance, it may appear I am a great humanitarian or I am a good person, but my motivation is the Love of God! God is not pleased with me for going on a mercy ship or serving the poor, he is pleased with me because I believe in and trust in his son Jesus, who died for the sins of human kind. But God delights in doing good to people and it will be cool to see people getting needed surgeries. It's going to be so cool to live on a hospital ship in Africa! Anyone want to come with me?
Thank You to everyone who has supported me so far, with words of encouragement, financially and in prayer. I am sooo grateful!!!
FYI: These are my own opinions and do not represent Mercy Ships :)

4But God--so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in
order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved
us,
5Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own]
shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in
union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new
life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which
you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made
partakers of Christ's salvation). -Ephesians 2:4-5

Hey Desiree! Thanks for the card, it was good to see you on Sunday, and fun to hear about your travels here. I'll definitely be reading and praying for you. How can I bless the finances of this project?
Hi Desiree - I know that you'll be to busy for awhile to post many blog but PLEASE keep at it so we can be there with you one way or another!
I so admire your adventurous spirit. The Lord didn't bless me with that so I'll watch and cheer you on from afar!
God bless you as you go. Do all you can to touch those you know He's bringing into your path!
