Many of you are aware of my recent decision to step down as Director of CHS. This was a decision that has taken us many months to come to, and one that was done with prayer and careful thought. I do enjoy my work here in Pakistan, and the friendships I have developed here will last me a lifetime. God’s presence and blessings on this institution reminds me how much he loves me. No matter how bad I can be, He always brings me back to Him when I allow Him.
I will be working with World Witness and the NFHS Board in the interim to hire a new director. I have offered to stay on indefinitely after the interim director period ends, to assist with hospital fundraising, IT Support, and administrative research and analysis. The hospital has a lot of unmet potential and I would love to be able to continue serving (as a volunteer) if allowed.
Today was a very special day for me. I came to the chapel for our morning devotions, these lasts about 20 minutes. After the devotion was over, Gypsy came up to me and smiled at me, then gave me a huge hug. He tried to talk to me (which he has never done), and then he started crying. Gypsy is a VERY special person to me, and everyone here at the hospital knows it. I think he knows I will be leaving. My heart is sad today because I will miss him. I will miss a lot of things here. But, my priorities are God, family and work in that order. I will be back at CHS, I don’t know when or how, but I will be back.
But for now, I will move forward and know that I will leave this hospital a little better than when I found it, this was my prayer to God when I started here. Thank you Lord for loving me and thank you for this opportunity to serve. I will never forget it!
