About Me

Hi there! I am a Registered Nurse that has worked in both Medical-Surgical nursing and Newborn Nursery/Women's Health. I've been honored to care for patients as they take their last breath and as they cry their first. This August I am returning to Mercy Ships for 9 months as a nurse caring for Women's Health patients. I pray that the Lord will use me to speak life and love into these ladies lives.

Update time!

Well, I decided it was time to update (since there's only 2 months left) and let you all know how my planning is going. First off, I have received my passport!! This is just exciting by itself because of all the potential for traveling in the future. Second, I have purchased my plane ticket to Sierra Leone! :D The part that isn't fun is in a few day I am getting vaccinations like Yellow Fever, Polio, etc, and figuring out what malaria medication to take. :/

My fundraising has been blessed so far. *UPDATE* on June 26 - I have raised $2,137 out of the $5,000 that I need for the trip. I am confident that God will provide the rest of the needed funds.

The nice thing about this mission trip is that the money is not due in one huge chunk, but in increments. Before I leave in August, I do not have to have the full amount. As long as I have raised about $3,500 before I leave, then I can go and continue to raise money while I'm in Sierra Leone.

Please continue to keep me in your prayers! I know that I must be spiritually prepared for this adventure, because Satan will surely attack in any way he can. Thank you for the prayers and support!
