JAMAICA

Not sure if anyone reads this anymore but I still enjoy
writing entries every now and then.

I had this crazy idea in my head that I wanted to take
a leave of absence from work and go and serve in another
country for a period of time. So, I went into my boss
and asked her if I could get a LOA from work for 5 weeks
and to my surprise, she accepted my request.

As of October 26th, I am heading off to Montego Bay,
Jamaica for 5 weeks. I will be working at SOS Village for
that period of time. I am excited to see what God will
have me do down there. This will be a very stretching
and scary experience for me since I am doing this all on
my own.

There has been a number of ups and downs in the whole
planning process. Trying to trust God that I made the right
decision and this is where He wants me.

If you remember, please keep me in your prayers as I
enter this life changing experience.
