A few years ago a friend told me that he could see me walking down a road surrounded by little brown children. I laughed it off, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would come true. For the past two and a half years has been an unknown dream realized. Growing up I really didn't think I would leave the state of Georgia none the less go all the way to Africa ... Three times! God has blessed me beyond imagination, giving me a life that far surpassed my dreams. Being the holiday season I've been thinking about what I am thankful for this year.
My job. I get to work in the coolest hospital in the world. Like seriously, no other hospital like it.
Making life-long friends with people from all around the world. I haves group of girls that are more than friends, they are the best sisters I could ask for on the ship.
Perfume and nail polish. I know, I know material things, but I've recently acquired both through friends and it just gives you a big confidence boost.
Wi-Fi ... In Africa!
Pecan pie ... Crazy right!? But when you have been here long enough, a little slice of home is amazing.
Just the beginning of a long list of things that I will compile over the next couple weeks, months and years. I challenge you today to think about what are you thankful for? What unrealized dreams have come to pass?
Joyeux Noel!
