“When things don’t go as you would like, accept the situation immediately. Remember that I am sovereign over your circumstances, and humble yourself under My mighty hand. Rejoice in what I am doing in your life, even though it is beyond your understanding. “ Jesus Calling
As I read this my heart dropped, I knew what the day ahead would hold. My stomach was in knots as the doctor, squad leaders, and my team leader began discussing the next steps. I had fought and done everything I could to convince my team of doctors (6 doctors), AIM staff in the states, and my fellow squad mates that I was healthy enough to stay and finish the next 2 months. Despite all my pleading, prayers, attempts to prove I could walk and carry my pack…everything came down to this meeting.
The meeting was quick and the decision was unanimous…the insurance company would be contacted and I will be in America within a week to seek further medical attention.
My heart is broken. I keep telling God, I didn’t sign up for 9 months and He gently reminds me I signed up to do His will. Leaving the race isn’t leaving the mission field, there is a mission field waiting for me at home. The work He has started in my life doesn’t end when I get on that plane in a few days…in fact He is just getting started.
So….I’m coming home!!!
