The last 18 months have been full of school and work, but little else (although I crammed in some family time and a couple of trips to South Sudan). It's still a bit surreal that I'm finished. I have been fairly busy since finishing a month ago, but it has been full of family, fun, and a real vacation complete with a beach. And all by choice. It's been amazing. I'm starting to breathe again.
After my contract in Dallas I returned to Colorado. This time for good. For the first time in 6 years I will have a full-time job that is not a contract job. It's time to leave travel nursing behind. For at least the next 2 years, I will be at Children's Hospital of Colorado in the Pediatric ICU, where I have been for most of my contracts. This place is home for me. I have been so amazingly blessed to land with this hospital family, and a manager who is extremely supportive of my continued overseas adventures. I will continue to be a part of the Cleft Lip team with Samaritan's Purse, and have also recently joined their disaster relief team.
Soon I will post about our most recent trip to South Sudan. I have come to love this country and its people, and I'm so sad as I read about the fighting that recently broke out again. I pray that we can return there again. There are still so many people that we can help. Our annual trip there is certainly a bright spot when so much seems to be going badly in the world. God is still at work.
