Going back so i can move forward...
I just returned to Florida thursday evening for the 1st time in 6 months. I got back from Africa July 20th, and for the past month and a half have been hanging out in colorado, and several other states with several different people on my long road trip home. I drove it by myself, and wouldn't trade it for the world. It was a great trip visiting friends along the way, and such a sweet time with the Lord. I went to Kansas City, MO for 3 nights, Tulsa Oklahoma for 2 nights, Shawnee Ok for 3 nights, San Antonio Texas for 3 nights, The Colony Texas for 1 night, Fort worth Texas for 4 nights, Columbus GA for 2 nights, Kennesaw GA for 1 night, Cocoa Florida for 1 night and returned back to Port Saint Lucie. It's been an adventure as the Lord has been showing me how to seek, listen, react, love and to be loved. I've recently made one of the hardest decisions i've ever had to make. I've left working full time with Overland Missions to return home...back the the place where let's face it...2 years ago ran fast from. I believe the Lord is calling me to go to school full time....I believe He is calling me to find out who i really am...apart from my parents...apart from overland missions...who i am in Him. So i'm back in Port saint lucie to visit with family, visit with friends, make some money, and to prepare to move to Colorado for a few years of school. I've been called to a life time of missions...no doubt. I will be traveling when i have the oppertunity still...and believe once i've finished nursing school i'll be able to head out beyond just my 3 month trips. I'm so excited. I'm so nervous...this is good though. I love the people i lived with Cocoa...but I love the Lord more...and where He wants me to be...is where i want to be. So here I go. I have no idea what tomorrow even holds...but i'm ready for it :)

I'm very interested to see what you learn, and what impact it has not only on your life but on the lives of the people you know and will meet. i'm excited for you.
and preparing for nursing school myself, I can say that learning about the body and all of it's intricate parts makes God even more real and amazing.
we've only met twice now but i'm very thankful that God brought you into my life because you are an amazing woman and friend.
This is a huge incouragment to read Manda. I'm so elated to hear you are moving forward for God like this. Keep up the faith and keep pressing forward sister! I would love to hear more from you as time goes on.
