Its funny because living here you have to learn to find true joy and happiness in the smallest things. Hearing that song brought a smile to my face and singing along to is was great. Even if multiple people were staring at me with a puzzled look on their face haha :)
Life has been great lately. Kath left yesterday which kinda sucked, but it was cool having her here and getting to show her around the city. We went into St. Sofia's on tuesday. It was pretty cool. Just kinda sucked that it had been completely overrun with pictures and crap, yes I know its like a museum or whatever, but I would have enjoyed it more if it just looked like a normal church inside. Other than that it was cool. I got a pretty ring there haha. The best part was probably the picture of the last supper. It was huge and there was Jesus. Up on the wall, blown up. That was kinda like a screw you to everyone that said Jesus isn't aloud in this country. No matter what country, Jesus is always here. SO great.
Lately I have started to have this feeling rise up in me, like that I don't need to try to hide my faith just because of the country or the people I am around. There is nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to hide, nothing anyone can do to me that will touch the spirit of God living in me. Oh I free I feel when I write out that kind of thought. To know that I have something so much more important that life or death. To know that I can live with a confidence, I have the creator of the universe on my side. mmm.... so great.
The weather. Now that is a subject I could right a whole blog on. haha :) It feels pretty good today, but you can definitely tell the weather is shifting. The other morning when we took Kath to the airport it was like 40 or so degrees and I was SO cold. haha. Well truth is I probably have no idea what it really feels like to be cold. Kathleen thought it would be really great to mention the other night, when it was about 60, that it is going to go down 100 degrees. Now that is like shoot me in the face cold. I know that I will NOT be going outside when it is like -30. NO THANK YOU. ") but I will say I am enjoying being able to wear like long sleeves and stuff, however..I refuse to not wear flip flops until it is completely necessary. When there is the possibility of my toes falling off, then I might contemplate wearing real shoes!
Today we found out that the US Embassy in China got bombed. That was pretty surprising and really sad. I am grateful that no americans died, but it is very sad that 16 others died. I have friends there, so I was also very to find out they were ok.
Since first starting this blog a couple hours ago, I have now moved locations and am pleased to announce that the coffee bar we having been wanting to go to is great! The internet works perfectly and I can't wait for my carmel frap :) Though I hate coffee, I tasted Crissa's carmel frappuccino the other day and it is quite superb!
Well there is not much more to say right now :)
Life is so great.
I miss everyone in Jax and Love them dearly.
Have a great day/night!
xoxo
