coming and going

I realize it’s been a while since I’ve posted on this website, but that’s exactly what I meant when I wrote on my “About” page that I didn’t have a schedule. Since my last post in the beginning of November last year, I haven’t had that much inspiration to write, or even when I did, I just didn’t have the time. This story, for example, I’ve been wanting to share with you for almost a month now. Time to get into the crazy way God spoke to me last January.

Last week I spent a long weekend alone in the city of Prague. As I was walking back from the city center to my hostel one afternoon, I took some time to listen to a sermon from Elevation Church*. In this particular sermon, Stephen Furnick spoke about dreams and more specifically about the danger of a dream. There were multiple good points he spoke about, but one in particular that I would like to share my thoughts on.

Today it is exactly six months ago that I left my home on board the Africa Mercy, Mercy Ships’ current hospital ship. If you have met with me in the past six months, I probably told you about my experiences and about how much I love and miss life on board the ship (and the friends I made there). Well, time has come to share some great news with you: in six months, I’ll be back on my favorite ship in the world!

To be honest, I could have launched this blog way earlier, if only I had written this first post. One problem: I didn’t know what to write. I guess it is just a matter of getting started, so here we are. Let me tell you about where I am currently living and what I am doing here. I will try to explain.
