Learning to Love the Wait

I know that God is calling me to work in Africa one day. I do not know if it will be long term or short term, soon or a long time away. BUT what I do know is that God is calling me to share His name and make His name famous somewhere in Africa. I believe that nursing is going to be my avenue to do that. I am hoping to visit an orphanage in Southern Sudan next summer and hopefully that will give me more guidance and a clearer direction as to His plan for me. All I do know is, the wait is very hard! It is not easy to know that children in Africa are dying every minute from HIV/AIDS, hunger, filth, and disease. So many of them are dying without ever being loved or cared for, or most importantly without ever hearing about the amazing love of our Savior Jesus Christ. When I consider this, it is so hard for me to be patient and stay in America for 2 1/2 more years to finish nursing school. BUT as always God is bigger than I am and His plan is so much greater than anything I could ever ask for or imagine! So, I will wait! I will serve in Indy with the same passion and drive that I will, Lord willing, one day have while serving in Africa. Father, I want your name to be praised and clearly shown in my life. I want you to get all the Glory in every area of my life. Thank you for blessing me with so much more than I deserve!
