Hello readers! Are you there? Helooooooo.... anyone home?
Well, if there ARE still readers out there - Hello Again! It's been awhile!!
I decided it was time to dust off the old blog and send an update - life is crazy. It was nearly eight months ago I said goodbye to my village in Benin, my home of two years, and moved to Sierra Leone on Mercy Ships. Now it's been nearly five months since I said goodbye to the ship and hello to life in America!
Five months! I think the time has gone both fast and slow. I spent an awesome three weeks in Minnesota with my family for Christmas and to welcome in the New Year - then I came back here to Seattle and was totally blessed to get a job within just a couple of weeks. I'm working as a HR assistant for The Walt Disney Company - yes, we have an office here in Redmond, WA! It's been a wonderful, easy, non-stressful job with a fantastic team.
I've kept busy spending alot of time at the gym, completing my first 5k's this weekend! It was so much fun. I'll write another blog post soon with some photos and stories. I got to go to Colorado in late Jan/early February to spend some time with my awesome friends there and work at the Captivating retreat with Ransomed Heart Ministries. I've spent tons of time reconnecting with friends, telling Africa stories, and getting myself healthy! It's really been a lovely time of recovery - recovering my health, my sanity, my relationships, and my heart after being away and alone for so long.
BUT - that time of recovery is OVER! I'm now moving into PREPARATION - what does this mean? It means yes, I'm moving back to Africa! The land that stole my heart has been calling to me since my return and I can't ignore the calling. I'm joining the crew of the Africa Mercy fulltime in September for a minimum of two years! I'm ridiculously excited and there is absolutely no question in my mind that this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing. I'll write more soon about what I will be doing there as well as what I'm going to be doing this summer...
Stay tuned to this blog or Facebook for more info. Until next time - thanks for sticking with me! Once I am on the ship I will have a new blog, so keep your eyes open for that, too! :) Love to all - Krissy
