Alright, I guess it's time that I fill you all in on the details of my life. I've been holding back from blogging this until I had something solid to share... and now you can expect me to be writing a lot more.

For anyone who doesn't already know, I have started the application process to become an Associate Missionary in Papua, New Guinea for 1 year, through New Tribes Missions. (www.ntm.org for anyone interested). I will be the administrative assistant to the Interface Camp director in the Highlands.
Hopefully this does not come as too big of a shock to anyone. It is definitely something that God has put on my heart for a very long time, and I am super excited! So far, everything has been coming together so perfectly that there really can't be any doubt that this is what God has intended for me. My path is clear. There haven't been many times in my life where I've felt such certainty.

I will keep you all posted on what's happening. So far, I've filled out the initial questionaire, gotten the recommendation needed from Pastor Sid, met with Pastor Jim (head of Missionary committee at church), and now all of the official paperwork is on it's way from NTM. There is a lot to do! The earliest I will be heading off to the other side of the world is next July. The good news is that my boss is considering this a "sobatical" so that I can come back after the year & keep my sweet job. Oh, and I had an MRI this week, and got the results back the NEXT DAY! That was huge. I'm still cancer-free - YAY - Praise God!

So that's the generic update... in the future, I promise to share a lot more. Obviously I would love your prayers & support as my life is clearly about to change in the biggest & best way. ~ Me

Romans 10: 14-15 ~ How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
