Another lull...

I haven't updated in a while because frankly, there just doesn't seeem like much to update on.

One of the difficult parts of this process is the time in between each milestone when it seems that all I do is just wait around to hear from the headquarters. I was incredibly excited to be medically qualified and although I know it was a huge hurdle to get through, I am still not done. I am still guaranteed of nothing. So it definitely tests my patience and my faith in God's plan for my life, but I think that there is plenty to be learned in this meantime.

One small development is that I called the Office of Placement two days ago. I am traveling to Australia to see one of my best friends for 3 weeks in December (look for a forthcoming post on that one!) and I was concerned that if I get my invitation while I was away that I would not be able to officially accept it. Anyway, the placement assistant said that there is a possibility I could receive my invite before I leave. What an absolute blessing that would be!

So if you would like to pray for me, please pray that I receive my invite before I leave for Australia on December 12th!

Again, thanks for your prayers, concerns, and for even reading this blog. I can't tell you how blessed I feel to have people in my life who care enough to take part of this journey in my life...

I can't wait until December 14th (that's when you land here) and I really will be praying that you find out before you leave. I miss you and can't wait to see you! Love you friend
