Praise the Lord, I’m back in the Philippines after 4 whole months stateside! The original plan was one month of recuperation and visiting family… not long after arriving there, that quickly turned to 3 months! For those who don’t know, I had the chance to shadow/ intern with a wonderful midwife in Washington State during …

final preparations for leaving the US
full disclosure: meeting my classmates at the airport and socializing took up all the layover time I thought I’d use to post… and I’m not mad about it at alll – but it means a delay for you all 🙂 can’t wait to share in real-time when I get my feet under me! I’ve loved …
of those who have faith
there is so much encouragement to be had in spurring each other on in our confidence in Christ. as I continue to prepare my heart for missions in a new country, I want to admit I’ve been quick to get nervous about my “readiness.” I have lived a lot of my life with the desire …
I’m enrolled
I am SO EXCITED and filled with JOY. want to know why? I got accepted into Newlife International Midwifery School…!!! once again, the Lord shows me himself and gives direct answers to prayer.

further education plans
I don’t know why I haven’t been totally straight forward with this topic yet on my blog, but lately I’ve realized that I’ve become pretty comfortable with sharing it as a goal for my next season of life. I started out by only talking about it with my family, and then slowly with close friends …

basic training departure

post-graduation plans
hello! it’s long past due for an update on life. the past few months have flown by in a way. after the summer, I spent my time adding up the credits I still needed to graduate, and planned out which electives and classes I wanted to take to finish one last semester. I also joined …
