Today I celebrated my first Canadian Thanksgiving...in Singapore! It was a special treat to be able to have turkey, stuffing, and all kinds of other delicious things and all in the company of a great group of ladies.
We had to list three things we were thankful for, and mine were the following:
1.) Lots of emails from family and friends back in the States recently. This is so encouraging and gives me that extra little boost that I really appreciate. It's so nice to know that there are people out there thinking of me.
2.) New friends in Singapore. It's wonderful having fun times and good conversation with some of the great people here and is definitely making this new place more and more like another home.
3.) My job - it comes with it's own set of unique challenges and stresses, but God has been so good in helping me to handle each one as it presents itself. I'm learning yet again that He is good and faithful each time.
Further blessings abound...let me share a few:
- No major injuries during sports games the last week and a half!
- Hearing from the director of one of our sister schools in Turkey via Skype during the staff meeting today (the cream puffs were also good)!
- Getting to watch a baptismal service at the church I visited this last Sunday & hearing one lady's awesome testimony!
God is good...all the time.
Please be praying as our school has its annual Carnival this Saturday! It's going to be a busy time, and we get a lot of visitors to the school. A few moms and I will be on first aid duty - let's hope for tons of fun & no injuries!
