T PLUS one month.

Generally you go with the minus...because you're counting down to something. But I am counting away from my South African adventure.

Today I have officially been home for one month. Ugh.

My heart beats just a little bit slower knowing that.

I look back on my last post and laugh a little bit at my own faith and wisdom that originally made coming back home seem like an okay thing to do, even though no fiber of my being wanted to.

When I came home I had a voicemail. It was the head of admissions from the University of Michigan's School of Nursing. She wanted me to give her a transcript...because it was the last piece of information they needed before they could officially offer me a spot as an admitted student for the Fall of 2010.

God doing's oh how I know. The Africa chapter closed and a new seemingly larger chapter opened...Nursing School. At a school that is accepting me an entire year earlier than I was originally being admitted at Oakland. A spot that was given to me, that only 4 other people out of 200 were given.

As I am sitting here on my bed I am underneath an African tapestry and Zebra spoons. I miss my Africa so dearly. But this is the life that will lead me back there. So there is no more sad. There is no looking back- only forward. That's all I'm allowing for, because we are now one month out.

I would like to invite you to read my new blog..something I started since being back. A commitment to finding God's beauty in my life. The gifts he has given me everyday. The web address is...
