New Chapter....

So I have started my new chapter, whatever that means. I have landed back on UK soil and have started a time of my life that isn't about all about Pemba. I am no longer a missionary to a foreign nation and I am no longer responsible for so many people. 5 weeks in and I feel like I have done so much, yet so little. I feel like I should be on my way to conquering this new season, yet focusing on divine rest. I have nearly finished my postnatal/non-medical maternity nurse course that I started on in mid-January. I have two practical days the last weekend in February and then my tutor can look at my work, give notes, I make it better and then...done. Then I am trained and start a career as a maternity nurse.

Do I just do that? Do I go to university? Do I rather keep nannying and have a full time job with the same people? Where do I live? So many questions...

Yet I hear His voice...'One step at a time my love, It doesn't all have to get done in a day'. 

The pressure gets less and I learn to have peace in the daily adventures and in the not knowing.

I have managed to get myself a temporary nanny job for the next three weeks to help me until I am trained. I am loving working again, being challenged and learning daily. Making new friends and work contacts, building on my CV and living the 'London life'.

I am still processing everything that happened in Pemba, as well as the sadness of saying goodbye. Not being able to see my babies grow daily, or conquering the world as medical marvels. I know I can only do this through rest and time with my Lord, which I know God will provide as He does with all my other needs.

'One step at a time my love.'

I know this is only the beginning and with that knowledge, I am excited.

Pray for me as I try and write my findings as best as I can during this course, which will allow me to step into new territories. That I hear God as He leads and I find the rest I need to process all.

Thank you for your endless support and prayers during my 4 1/2 years away. I couldn't have done any of it without your cheering on and kind words.

Thank you
