packing has started!

Packing for my Honduras trip has started!!  It looks as if I will need extra bags for our supplies this year.  This is a good thing, because with all the help from everyone's donations, we are able to take supplies that we found last year we didn't have. Things we take for granted like sunscreen, lip balm, and muscle cream to name a few.  If we can avoid giving medications for problems the people we are treating by giving them something to help them prevent problems, then they will be better for it.
Just a background on what we are going to be doing and what we will be treating.
Our team will be conducting 6-8 medical clinics. We will be treating young babies all the way up to the elderly.  We will see a lot of respiratory issues, skin issues, wounds, as well as illness like CHF, CAD.  A lot of prevention education is given also.  Education on nutrition, wellness, and just normal body issues with the teenagers as they grow and with young women that are pregnant.
I just want to give a big thank you to everyone that has helped with donations whether it be money or supplies.  It will all be used for God's purpose and plan.
It's not to late to help out!  If you want to donate money for supplies or my expenses, you can still do so.  I will be leaving on March 7th and will return on March 25th.  Continue to pray for our team, for the country of Honduras and for everyone's safety.  Pray that God will work through us to shine his light on them.
I am excited and blessed that I am able to go again this year.  I am thankful that I am able to not only travel abroad to serve God, but I also am able to help locally for HIS will. I will continue to answer HIS calling as long as HE  keeps calling me.

A call for all my nursing friends!  If this interest you in any way, let me know.  Our team is always looking for nurses, nurse practitioners and even Doctors to be on our team.  Start planning now, raising/saving your money for next year.  Connect with me and I can give you more information.

John 1:12 says, But to all who believed him and accepted him, He gave the right to become children of God.  If we do not spread the love and word of God to those who do not know, then how will they become children of God?  It is up to us, believers, saved through Christ, to go and give this good news to all the peoples so they may be saved.
And whatever you do,whether in word or deed, do it all int he name of the Lord Jesus.  Colossians 3:17

Love to all,

having faith

I'm trying.  To keep faith and trust.  I trust God to provide for me.  But I have doubt at times.  In the past, it has been tested with my illness, with me raising my children, with my job among other things.  God has always shown me that if I put all my worries on him, he will provide.
Right now, for me, it's my mission trip.  So far, God has blessed me beyond measure in the planning and preparing for the clinics and the trip.  But I still need about $600 more for my expenses.  I have been fund raising with some items that I make and will continue to do this after my trip for next year.
But this is a slow process. I just want to everything to fall into place right now.  I have trouble with the wait game! 
Our team will be conducting a total of 7-8 medical clinics along with some minor construction on a few of the newer churches. We hope to have a couple of children services and a women's service also.
For those that have supported me, THANK YOU!  Everyone, please pray for our team and the trip and continue to pray while we are there.  God has many plans for each of us, and I feel his calling going abroad and helping the Lenca people in Honduras with the clinics. 

"And whatever you do, in word or deed, do in the name of the Lord Jesus." Colossians 3:17
