Letting Go

You know how when you love something, you tend to hold on to it tightly? I had to turn loose of my full-time position in the operating room at Medical Park Hospital on Friday. Medical Park Hospital, in Winston-Salem, has the best group of people one could ever hope to work with. It's rather remarkable that there are so many wonderful people in one place! The surgeons, nurses, scrub techs, anesthesia group, surgical partners, secretaries, sterile supply personnel, central supply personnel, cafe' and kitchen personnel, and everyone in between; I love love love!

John is reluctant to leave his work for Winston-Salem Monthly and NC Signature magazines, too. He has so enjoyed free-lancing for them. The folks at Senior Services have been great to work for, also. They have all been so good to John and it has been a pleasure to meet each person he has photographed over the last few years.

But as hard as it is to close this chapter in our lives, we know that the Lord has called us to a great work with Mercy Ships and we look foward to using our skills and talents and experiences for His glory. Every part of our lives, every person who has guided and trained us and been our co-laborer each day, has shaped us into the people we are. And the amazing thing is that whether we realize it or not, it has all been a part of God's plan!

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
Blessings on you today!
