Hey guys! I've never really done one of these things before, so I'm not quite sure how to start ("Welcome"?).
If you're reading this, I'm probably in Singapore by now. Crazy, huh? I'll be there for four months, charging my way through teaching English literature to international high school students. I've never been out of the country for more than two weeks, and I knew that I would need a way to keep people updated while I'm away and keep me connected. So voila! A blog.
It's 4 am, and I'm leaving in fifteen minutes to drive to the airport. So for a first post, this isn't going to be all that inspirational. :P With that said, please join me in this little adventure through prayer. I'm so excited to see how He has swung this door open for me to go to Singapore and Cambodia as well; please pray for wisdom and discernment for me as I interact with my students and try to lead them to the best of my ability.
If there is anything that He's taught me over the few years of my life (which He definitely has), it's that He leads one step at a time. Life is so similar to piecing a puzzle together without a solid idea of what the picture looks like. So for now, Singapore is my next puzzle piece. I'm not quite sure where it fits in with the other cardboard edges that have already been laid down and those that haven't, but He does. He knows exactly where Singapore fits into my life. And that's enough for me. He's been sovereign enough to piece things together thus far, and He's sovereign enough to continue to do so.
Slowly but surely, He'll show me what He's planned all along. For now, I wait.
Off I go! You'll be hearing from me soon hopefully. :)
Can't wait to see the puzzle He has created for you. As always, you have my prayers and blessings and I am so excited for you. God bless and keep you.
ReplyDeleteGo get 'em! If you need a neighbor, I'm just across the way in Shenzhen :-) Let me know if you ever plan a Hong Kong trip!
ReplyDeleteWe miss you already, but are absolutely thrilled at how His puzzle pieces are coming together in your life.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, guys! I love knowing that people are actually reading this. :) Be expecting another post tomorrow.
ReplyDeletep.s. Luke: ummmm Hong Kong? Yes please. I'll see what I'm doing for Spring Break. I'm pretty sure I'm going to South Korea then, but I need to firm up the dates with my sister. :)
You betcha I'm reading your blog! I gotta catch up with the baby somehow, right? Loved talking with you the other night. That really was funny how I was talking so loudly, right? I was competing with the tele!! I love you sweetie, and look forward to reading more as time goes on.
