ripples from rachel: Right Now
http://smallripples.blogspot.com/2011/03/right-now.html
Life as a foster mom and nurse. in africa. Very accurately sums up my life right now. it's loud, chaotic, and I can't judge anyone's parenting skills based on my own. And.it's a good thing that there were adults in the house yesterday more extroverted than I am.I couldn't handle the chaos and had to leave for a few minutes and go take a shower, just so I could get a few minutes of relative peace and quiet.

http://smallripples.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Life as a foster mom and nurse. in africa. You know you're in Africa when. Life here is an adventure! I have spent nine of the last twelve days with either the medical team or the dental team doing rural clinics. The first five days I participated in the medical clinic and it was wonderful to be doing nursing again! The Lord truly has answered my prayers for being settled here! Last but not least, I had two opportunities to share Jesus this week! Thanks for your prayers and your emails! Someone says "hel...

ripples from rachel: Landing in Africa
http://smallripples.blogspot.com/2010/08/landing-in-africa.html
Life as a foster mom and nurse. in africa. After several days of trying to get on the internet, I finally succeeded! Internet and power are both things I will now never take for granted! Tuesday night we spent the night in Kampala with a family from Water Mission. It was a good introduction to the country. They live in a nice house at the top of a hill. The stars were amazing! I could see the Milky Way cloud better than I ever have. It was beautiful! Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your...

ripples from rachel: January 2010
http://smallripples.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Life as a foster mom and nurse. in africa. Why am I here? What is my purpose? Maybe I've been here before. I can't remember.I've noticed that when I get into difficult situations, I tend to think I've never experienced this feeling before. I probably have. This waiting game is probably no more difficult than the last time I had to wait for the Lord to show me what to do next. However, I'm waiting. the feeling isn't new, but it definitely feels more uncertain than ever before. Am I looking for greener gra...

http://smallripples.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Life as a foster mom and nurse. in africa. Change is Hard and a New Blog. In order to protect the littles that live in my house, it's been recommended that I password protect any and all pictures and identifiable information. The frustrating part of that is that if I stay on blogger, I have to password protect the whole blog.so I'm switching to Wordpress, where I have the option of password protecting individual posts. You can find that blog here: www.ripplesfromrachel.com. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life as a foster mom and nurse. in africa. 7 days, 2 hours, 58 minutes and counting. I have one week left at home. It's a busy week that includes spending time with people, shopping, sewing, and tying up any loose ends. I'm way behind on my emails and if I said I'd do something for you and haven't done it.you should probably remind me. So as time winds down this is my laundry list of things to do:. Purchase seeds for an herb garden. Buy Walmart out of toiletries. Find a black pair of scrub pants. 7 days,...
