ali’s african adventures

Posted by phoenixhopes on September 2, 2008

When I was four and asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I clearly remember saying that I would become a nurse and marry a doctor on the good ship Hope. Here I am 45+ years later and I’m not a nurse and never married a doctor on a ship or otherwise.

Recently I came across a blog from a young woman who is living at least part of my childhood dreams. Ali is a 25 year old pediatric intensive care nurse currently working with Mercy Ships and a gift for sharing her life. This is one of the few blogs where I have wanted to go back and read every post.

Set aside some time to immerse yourself in this young woman’s life and don’t forget to bring the kleenex.
