"The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many path and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say"
All adventures have a beginning, all quests have a start, all voyages have an origin. This is a tale of my adventure to Africa. I have no idea where it will take me, who I will meet, what I will see or do. All I know is I have been called and must go.
It began as a whisper, a dream faint and gossamer. As I studied for my exams and tests in nursing school I could feel it's vibration. A reassuring voice, "dreadnought for I have called you, and will send you out." It is almost a year since I graduated, and like the wind the call has grown stronger.
What is this mysterious dream I speak of? I've been called to serve as a nurse in the poorest of lands. I feel the tug of Africa, someday I will no doubt travel to many lands. I do not know when I will leave, where i will go or what I will do...only that my soul has been stirred up and will not quiet untill this adventure has concluded.

The Story of a Nurse on a Mission.
Isaiah 6:8
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Three is Company
He used often to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: it's springs were at every doorstep and every path was it's tributary. "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to."
