Medically Cleared?!

Wow, so God chose to work really fast in this situation...

I just got an email this morning saying that "A decision has been reached regarding your medical review. Please look for a letter in the mail". Funny how this decision came about 12 hours after I wrote my last post. I am speechless right now. Thank You Lord!

Although this does not mean that I am officially cleared, I believe that it is very good news. I have to remind myself at each step in this process not to get my hopes up because nothing is guaranteed.

So for those of you that have prayed for me, THANK YOU. I truly appreciate it. God is so good.

Next stop...getting a placement officer and hopefully receiving my official inviation!

It's been a long journey, but there's still more to go

Hey Everybody,

Welcome to my blog! For those of you who know, I am hoping to go to Africa in February with the Peace Corps. My program is in Business Advising and right now I am waiting to have my medical application cleared so that I can eventually receive a final invitation. Long story short, I have been in this process for a year now and most days it feels as if it will never happen. But I trust in God's plan for my life and I continue to pray that this is His will for me. If not, I know that God is still good.

As far as a timeline goes, I am hoping to be meidcally cleared in the next few weeks, then I will hopefully receive a final inviation that will specify further which country I will be going to, what exactly I will be doing, etc.

So in the meantime, I would GREATLY appreciate prayer. Specifically, that this process would be speedy and that I can receive my final invitation soon.

Thank you all.
