About me.

Hi!!
My name is Susy Horta. I am 30 years old, I am a colombian paediatric ICU nurse and in exactly 10 days I will be flying to
Cameroon to serve on the Africa Mercy ship with Mercy Ships International.
Maybe we have already met, or maybe this is the first time you read about me, either way, through this blog you will probably get to know me better, and also maybe will have a little bit of fun with my stories. I also like to share my spiritual life and lessons I learn here, hoping to encourage you.  I do use other social media like Facebook and Instagram, also I'm trying Youtube (can't consider myself as a "Youtuber" yet).

I was born in a christian missionary family, my parents have served God for more than 30 years, so it is pretty possible I have "missionary DNA" running through my veins. I am currently working as a Nursing teacher here in Bogotá, but next week the life that I know will end, and an amazing adventure as a volunteer/missionary nurse will start.

Actually, this adventure started 10 months ago. On January I started praying for a full time ministry, were I could use my nursing career with a spiritual focus. 8 months later, I applied to Mercy Ships to fill a PICU Nurse vacancy, and I was accepted. This meant I needed to raise funds that would cover the flight ticket and the crew free. On October I started sharing the dream through my blog, youtube videos and one-to-one conversations. I ended up sharing in some churches, even with people I haven't met yet in other countries!! God showed His power and has provided everything I need to fly to Cameroon and live on the ship for 4 months.

If you want to know more about this journey, I will keep you updated through this blog. I will start posting in english simultaneously with the spanish posts, hoping that you will enjoy the stories and also bless me with your prayers.

My pain, His Compassion

Imagen
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying: “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness." (Jeremiah 31:3 NIV) The Bible says the heart is deceptive, and the feelings I had when preparing for the trip and saying goodbye to my family were so confusing that I had to ignore them and walk one step at a time, until I got here. In spite of how I felt, in the depths of my heart I did not hesitate or think at any moment of canceling the trip; despite the nostalgia, pain and fear, I had the full confidence that this was the God's will for my life, not knowing what the trip was going to be like or what was going to happen when I arrived to the ship. I mentioned before that the first few weeks here I was very calm, however, as Christmas Day approached, I began to notice some pain and sadness in my heart, I did everything possible to avoid it and ignore it, I knew it was a normal to miss my family on a very special date for us; this was...

Learning to Serve

Would you do it? If you don’t always like it. If sometimes you don’t want to do it. If you picked it for convenience and not for love, if it was the less bad option for you. If sometimes it’s frustrating. If sometimes it doesn’t make sense. It you get hurt in the process, if there are cuts, burns and sore muscles involved.  Would you still do it? Would you still do it the best way possible? Would you still smile?  Would you still go the extra mile? Would you give thanks for it?  Would you choose to speak life over it? I volunteered to work in the dinning room after closing the hospital and having to leave Senegal early (towards the end of March), just because it was the option that matched my preferences, the schedule and the chores were better than others I would probably not enjoy at all. Yes, I was selfish, I wasn't thinking of how wonderful it was going to be to serve the crew members onboard, I was thinking of what was better for me....

Disfrutando el Presente

Enfermeras, Nutritionistas, Fisioterapeutas, Enfermeras del Equipo de Evaluación Han pasado 4 semanas desde que llegamos a Conakry. ¡Cuatro semanas que parecen mucho más tiempo!  Las primeras dos semanas aquí fueron las últimas semanas de preparativos para dar la bienvenida y entrenar a 36 nuevas enfermeras y 54 traductores locales, conocer y animar a 14 enfermeras líderes (enfermeras que supervisan y dirigen cada turno), entrenar a 5 de ellas por primera vez; y también abrimos el hospital para que todos los tripulantes del barco pudieran aprender y disfrutar de todas las cosas divertidas que hacemos allí.  Luego comenzó la gran semana, la Semana de Orientación para Nuevas Enfermeras. 36 nuevas sonrisas y corazones llenos de emoción por convertirse en "mensajeros de misericordia" ("mercy shippers" en inglés), finalmente conocimos en persona aquellos nombres por los cuales habíamos orado. Mis propias dudas y temores acerca de dirigir este evento se de...
