One of my dreams for a long time has been to do relief work. When I was a missionary in Japan, the tsunami and the nuclear disaster happened. I was all set to go and work on helping the people, but my family was so concerned about my health and having sleepless nights, that I gave in and came back to seattle. When I arrived in seattle, another opportunity presented itself and I was ready to fly back the following week to help with the relief effort and it was cancelled. So I resigned myself to wait on God's timing.
When the philippines disaster happened, I was working (all proceeds from our fundraising at save each one go to the cause and not to the us US volunteers) and couldn't leave right away but one of my friends wanted to do something in the philippines. I was starting to coordinate with her and plan a trip for january but then she got a little overwhelmed and that fell apart. So again, I left it to God. I told Him I wanted to help, but He had to help me make it happen. And it has! I am so excited to be going to the philippines in 1 day to help with the effort! There are still many islands that have not received any help and are in desperate need. Having never done anything like this I have no idea what to expect, but I am so excited for this God given opportunity. Please pray for us. I'll post pictures after I get back!
