I am feeling very thankful tonight as I prepare to leave very early in the morning for Roatan, Honduras. I am very thankful for many people who have helped make this possible. For my dear husband who is truly the wind beneath my wings. He has always encouraged me to reach for the stars, any goal I set, he was my inspiration to persevere. I am thankful to my very sweet church family, Golden Baptist Church. It is a small country church but is more generous and loving than any church family could be. \u00a0They generously helped with financial contributions toward my trip and the women’s Sunday School helped pack my luggage with toothbrushes, crayons,pencils, \u00a0books, puzzles and lots of band aides to go to Clinica Esperanza.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Some prayer warriors at church prayed for me Wednesday night….. there is nothing like being prayed for by men and women of God! I feel very empowered. \u00a0I am thankful to have discovered the INMED’s International Medicine & Public Health Hybrid course!. I completed the academic portion last year, not knowing where it might lead. I was working in a Primary Care clinic, and it was challenging to take even a week off for vacation, finding coverage can be difficult in the rural areas. \u00a0Then, without much warning, the clinic closed its doors, the end of May of last year. \u00a0I asked the Lord, what is next, as I know I am not one to retire \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0I have been in nursing for 39 years and still feel I have much to give! \u00a0That very afternoon I received a call from the nursing program coordinator for Crowder College,\u00a0\u00a0asking if I might consider teaching in their nursing program! \u00a0Yes Lord, send me \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0so now I am teaching in the profession I love and I happen to work a 9 month contract which leaves me time for medical missions. It doesn’t get any \u00a0better than this!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And so, with a very grateful heart, I look forward to this exciting adventure!\u00a0Buenas Noches,\u00a0Cheryl<\/p>\n
