Jordan and Katie Stull: August 2015
http://jordankatiestull.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Jordan and Katie Stull. From small town to big boat}. Sunday, August 30, 2015. I’m ready for this year and I’m not. I’m excited for it and I’m dreading it. Whether or not I would make the same choices to get here remains to be seen. But whether or not I will look back with gratefulness is entirely up to me. There will be moments when I’m overwhelmed. And there will be moments when I feel made for this. There will be days when I see God everywhere. There will be painful decisions. There will be confusion.

Jordan and Katie Stull. From small town to big boat}. Tuesday, March 24, 2015. When we signed up to join the Africa Mercy. You would not believe how many people asked if I was a nurse or if Jordan was a doctor. I didn't really blame anyone for thinking that though; I grew up knowing about Mercy Ships because their first ship to Africa, the Anastasis,. At that suggestion, another crew member who was himself waiting to be seen by the crew nurse jumped up and told me that he could help! Although I am curren...

http://jordankatiestull.blogspot.com/2015_10_01_archive.html
Jordan and Katie Stull. From small town to big boat}. Monday, October 26, 2015. Beware: this blog is full of nothing but Katie’s thoughts; a somewhat scary place to be. No pictures or fun stories to be had. You have been warned! Those moments are just incredible. When I come face-to-face with a patient’s life that is being drastically changed, the small difficulties of my day melt away. But while those patients are ultimately the reason that Jordan and I are here, and for which we feel incredibly privile...

Jordan and Katie Stull: April 2016
http://jordankatiestull.blogspot.com/2016_04_01_archive.html
Jordan and Katie Stull. From small town to big boat}. Monday, April 25, 2016. I need some encouragement for myself—encouragement to bridle my tongue. I am tired of my negative thoughts. I am tired of my demeaning words. I am tired of being somewhere where I feel that I am sliding down that slippery slope of slashing with my words and not having the guts to say enough. The final effect was actually quite pretty! It didn't look nearly as frustrating as my day felt. And then I thought—hey! It all starts wit...

Jordan and Katie Stull. From small town to big boat}. Saturday, February 27, 2016. I am going to change the name of this blog to www.KatieWillPostOnceinaBlueMoon.blogspot.com. Sorry about that folks. I've opened up to write I don't know how many times but the words just don't come. I like it because it gives a much better idea of what's going on in the hospital that I could ever hope to do.
