Where we are meant to be.

Some days it is really hard to be away from family. This weekend, my 85 year old Nana fainted, fell and broke her hip. She cant hear very well, so I cant call her and tell her how much I love her. She struggles to see, so a note or a email or even a bunch of flowers isn't much good. I want to sit and hold her hand. But God knows.

My soon to be sister-in-law (Trish, Allan's fiancé) sent me this prayer last week, and it has encouraged me when i have questioned our decision to come away from our family again and work in PNG. This is where we are supposed to be.

May today there be peace within!
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be!
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us.
(St Teresa)
