One of the lessions I have been learning over this past year is about rest. Finding five minutes in my day just to be still. We are so programmed to run from appointment to appointment. It is a mad dash to complete all the tasks we set for ourselves to do in a day. No wonder that we are stressed out, depressed, and overwhelmed. This is not what I want out of life. What I choose is to find those five minutes in my day when I take a deep breath and rest. I am choosing to be content and victorious. And when I am overwhelmed I want it to be because I am engulfed in the presence of God not my circumstances.
So today it is my choice and I choose five minutes!

Change
Today I was thinking about change and why we are so resistant to it. Is it fear, the challenge, or the unknown? Do we shy away from it because it disrupts what we feel is the stability of our lives? Or am I just selfish and want my life to stay the same without interruptions? I don't know.
What I do know is that God is dynamic and creative. His plan for my life is ever evolving and unfolding. It is my prayer that I would be totally abandoned to however He desires to express that plan through me. I want to be one of those individuals that lives life, who engages in God's plan and is courageous enough to listen when God says change.

New To Blogging
I am excited about starting this process of blogging. I think it will be a great way to share some of the Awesome Adventures we have here at New Frontiers. Some of you know that we just returned from a 3 month long journey to Africa. We sent teams to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya. We were literally in 5 countries nine different times--that is a lot of traveling!
It was Sunday morning and I was asked to come to our health center because there was a woman in labor. Just as I walked into the observation room, the staff were delivering a little baby girl. I had the privlege of taking her from the staff, cleaning her up and then presenting her to the mother. What a delightful way to begin a Sunday morning.
