I love how God uses things I’ve learned in the past. For example I was involved in camp in the summer for so many years I’ve lost count. (17?) Some afternoons in Soroti I feel like I’m at camp again. 20 kids (occasionally more) in the yard, I find myself using many of the skills and things I learned while doing camp. My experiences in NICU, fundraising in high School, struggles in Burkina Faso, so many of these events in my past- I see the lessons that I learned and now I see myself applying them. Some of those experiences, at the time, I couldn’t help but wonder a why. Then I open a new chapter and see how God has used what I was learning in the previous chapters.

So that makes me look at  life now. What am I learning at this time that I’ll be applying down the road?  I spend an awful lot of time hanging out with veterinary doctors and eating rats. How do you think this will play out in later life chapters?
