From reading my last update, you may assume that I am currently writing to you from Sudan. Not so!

Last week, as I prepared to leave Egypt, I was stopped. I wasn't completely at peace about going. I wasn't sure why; I've been waiting for this time for years now. I was really seeking His will for my life. He promised that He will go before me, no matter what. I was still not completely at peace. The morning before my intended departure, I received a call from Canada and a huge answer to prayer. I wanted to get on that plane; He wanted something else for me. Still in Egypt, I see a place for me here. He has my heart in His hands, and although I will not be moving onto Sudan, I know I am secure.

When I arrived, I asked for His heart for these people. He has changed my heart. I have been taken through much, looking into new vision, through new eyes. Though my plans were to move onto Sudan, my plans need to conform to His plans. I am returning back to Calgary May 10, with my eyes fixed on Him and my heart in this part of the world. I return with uncertainty; I know it will not be an easy road at home. I hope to finish school by December, but even that rests in His hands.

I now look forward to having coffee with dear friends, embracing loved ones in a much cooler summer than I was expecting!

Thank you for your support through it all. The journey does not end here!
