decisions, dunking, and daring...

decisions.... this past year has seen me make a few big decisions...possibly the most notable involving a bit of a change of direction...leaving medicine to become a theology student has been a bit of a transition, but a year in, He remains faithful!
"People define you by what you do. I'm not so concerned with what i'm goign to do. I'm more interested in becoming a lover of God and a lover of people." -- Mother Teresa

dunking....
after making said decisions, God led me to be baptised, so on march 4th i took the plunge and got dunked....
it was really cold and really wet (funnily enough) but to stand and publicly testify to how meeting with Jesus has wrecked my life was awesome

"...he has transformed my life. I commit to live for him ALONE and to serve HIM ALONE...to lay down my vision for my life and to commit to follow Him wherever He may take me..." --my testimony

daring...
committing to follow Him wherever He may take me...I wasn't planning on having to live that one out quite so soon. I feel that God has told me to go back to Liberia, so i've applied to go back to Mercy Ships for the summer. I've knocked on the door and it just seems to be opening wider and wider. There are SO many things i just don't understand right now, but i'm learning to take things day by day and WAIT in His timing, which is usually last minute. It's become a familiar theme in my journey. The brand new Mercy Ship, m/v Africa Mercy has just arrived in Liberia, it's an exciting time...even if this doesn't work out, I know that I'll have been obedient, and what He does have for me over the next few months will be even better...but for right now...I'm daring to trust Him for something which completely blows my mind. Could I be going back to Liberia??
