Haiti - Here I come!

Yep, that's right....Haiti. I've been called to serve in Haiti on a Medical Missions trip in February. I need your help guys!! I have to raise $500 by the end of this month and then the remainder $1000 by January. I know it's getting close to Christmas time, but these people...wow...they need it. I'll post some links shortly so you can see why I say that and why my heart hurts. Well, a little background.....
Several years ago, I was wondering what I was going to be when I grew up. (Mind you I was already married and had Tyler....well, I guess I'm still not grown up! Anywho..) I felt called to Nursing. Now, I hated needles, hated the sight, smell, or thought of blood and my hubby (bless his sweet soul) told me I was completely nuts and out of my mind. Well, there was a waiting list at the school for the nursing program. He told me I could apply and if I got accepted AND I still wanted to go after the 9 months of waiting list, that he would support me. Well, I got accepted, waited and went. I never thought I would make it through it! I just gave it to God and well He pulled As! So, fastforward and I've worked at the hospital, the nursing home (for a very short while!), a pediatric clinic and now for Indian Health Service. I absolutely love my job!!
Well, back to the missions part.....I've always felt called to missions. Since I went to church camp with Ashley Johnston back in Junior High with First Assembly here in Miami. I received the Holy Spirit and the call. But, like so many of us, just got stuck. I didn't know what to do with it. So, I was talking at work the other day, and telling a student I was mentoring a brief version of that and Dr. Tiemann overheard me. He says, "You want to do Medical Missions?" I say "Yes". He says, "How about Haiti?" I say, "Well, ya, if God's calling I'll go. I've just never went because of money. I'll go anywhere though." He says, "How bout February?" I got goosebumps! I mean it was just wow. God was there! He goes on to explain, that they have a large group of Doctors going in February and really need nurses. Then, the money issue. Have to have $500 by the end of October. Then the total $1500 by January. And you know at first, I thought no way I'll be able to go. But a calming peace covered me. God says, if He calls you He will make a way. So I'm believing right now that he will make a way.
If you would like to be a part of that way, If you've ever had a heart for missions, but can't go, If you just believe in a good cause, PLEASE email me, call me. As soon as I make the deposit of $500, then I can post a link where you can donate with my name towards the remaining balance as well. All donations are tax deductible. I'll also post links soon with the Mission website, so you can find more information about them, Haiti and what's going on. I'll be posting with updates as to where we are in raising money, facts about Haiti, about the mission and so forth. Then when we return, I'll post tons of pictures and tell you all about the trip. If your church would like to take a love offering, I would be more than willing to come to your church after the trip and speak about what God is doing in Haiti. I'm telling you God is moving in that impoverished, Voo Doo country. He is Good! He is mighty! And He will save the people of Haiti!! I believe it!! Do you?
