God's Sleeves are Big

So as my day unfolded yesterday, I kept thinking to myself, " Wow, you just never know what God has up his sleeve".

I woke up yesterday to a voicemail from someone at Children's Heart Project asking me if I wanted to go on a transport. If you are interested in more info on CHP you can check out the link here on my blog, but I'll give you the basics. CHP helps to identify kids that have heart defects and require surgery, and then they find hospitals here in the US to donate their services. Once a hospital accepts a child from the waiting list, a physician or a nurse has to go and transport the child from their country to the hospital in the US. Soooo.....24 hours later....

I will be leaving for Uganda in 10 days!!! My brain hasn't quite been able to wrap itself around this news yet. I am super excited. This is where the "crazy" part of my life fits in. I just never know what opportunity God will drop in my lap. There were a lot of logistics that had to fall into place for me to be able to go on this transport, and none of them were within my control. I'm not sure how many times I had to remind myself yesterday that God set this up and He would take care of all the details. I leave in 10 days, gone for 5 days, and start work less than 2 days later. Yep, that's right. In the next 17 days I will go to Fall Retreat with my church, then Cori and Grayson are visiting, then I will go to Uganda and back, and then I will move up to Denver to start my contract at the Children's hospital. Oh, and the hospital that accepted this particular child for surgery happens to be in San Antonio, so I get to be home for about 12 hours :). So these are the latest events in my crazy life.
