2011!

'For still the vision awaits its appointed time, it hastens to the end- it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay'
-Habakkuk 2:3

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! This Christmas was my first (of many) being away from my family. Even though I missed my family in South Dakota, I really enjoyed being with my new family in Oregon! I had my first tree cutting experience, snowshoeing in Crater Lake, and just some good relaxation/reflection.
I've been reflecting on this past year and the year to come. The past 2 years have been filled with traveling physical therapy job after traveling physical therapy job. I never knew where exactly God was calling me and I knew that's the way it was supposed to be...not knowing, but knowing that whatever happens, God provides. And He did. Last year, I knew from the beginning that God was leading me to a certain point-somewhere more permanent. I had an idea in mind (Colorado? Oregon? Africa?) but it wasn't until Spring that it was very apparent I was being called to Cameroon for a few years to continue Pat's ministry of teaching physical therapy to the Cameroonians. So as 2010 lead me to an actual destination. 2011 will be actually getting to my destination and 'setting' in one place for longer than 3 months. Today, I just sent in all my paperwork to start the VISA application process. Yay! So now, it's the waiting process. I hate waiting...but it seems like waiting is the virtue God like to teach me time and time again...maybe someday I will fully learn to be patient and simply to lay everything down at His feet. This is going to be an exciting year...
