My list of countries is rising, that is cool... I have a competition with one friend and we have a good laugh over it!
BUT then I start thinking about those countries
India … those with HIV/AIDS that we served, who now - 6 yrs later, are probably dead.
Cambodia and the fight against poverty and keeping families from selling their children into slavery.
Mexico and the slave labour camps
Romania and the abandoned gypsy babies
to name a few...
I love my life. I love to travel. I love working on being obedient and being apart of God's plan for the nations in the little ways I can.
Sometimes it is a little overwhelming.
There is so much need around the world, so many opportunities and so many incredible people!

I feel like I am trapped in a corner and I yell to God “help please, I need to know what you are thinking! I need to know your purpose for me!”
Without knowing that I can be doing a lot of good things in a lot of amazing places but it would be worth nothing. Knowing Gods purpose and goals for me and my life... purpose in why I am going to a particular place...
Taking the time to get the why and when and for what can be challenging. We can get busy!! 
 Or we get apart of the picture and don't wait around for the whole... if he gives the whole...  because often though with God in the equation things do not go as neatly as I would like them too(most times they are much more exciting :)  )... Things can change last minute or He says “Go to Mozambique!” and I am just like WHAT?! That makes no sense... and He just laughs at me as I fumble over the reasoning in my small human brain... trying desperately to understand... then I give up and I just go with the peace and the small pieces I do know... knowing first and foremost that He is going with me. He is my helper! My job is to go!
