Karen is a friend of mine from college days. Currently, Karen is studying to be a vet over in Scotland. Like many of my friends, she is driven and is full of adventure. Courage is not something she lacks. The world interests her and she is eager to pick up and go see it in a heartbeat. I remember only about a year ago she volunteered to practice animal husbandry for 3 months all the way over in the country of Kazakhstan for a non-profit organization. Now she is in Scotland. A small town woman with big town heart.
Above all I am, however, most impressed with how honest she is willing to be regarding her faith. I recall back to one of my last conversations with her when she openly expressed how difficult it is at times to understand the will of God for her life and how sometimes it’s difficult to feel God’s presence in her life’s circumstances. Somehow her honesty in all this makes me feel a bit more human and makes me like her a great deal.

What a beautiful tribute to Karen, Andrew! Having known Karen since I was 13 years old, I have seen her flower over the years in to a gracious, clear-sited, determined person. She is the perpetual student – always learning something new about her surroundings and about people.
