| My first Asian haircut! Chorp mai? (Do you like it?) |
Gathering that, yet again, I have dropped the ball and not posted anything for a few weeks, I've decided to stop promising to write every single week, in case I disappoint you.
However, know that I still love you! And I'm working on the whole discipline issue. Sometimes life is just too much fun.
Speaking of life, I want to share with you what it's been like for me (honestly) in the last few weeks.
It's not always been fun. Actually, there's been a lot of character-shaping going on for me, which I'm sure you know is not pleasant at the time! Since I've moved in with a Thai lady, I've been forced to look at my attitudes and motivations on a daily basis. God has been talking to me about being patient. About making an effort with every person - no matter how scary they seem, or how shy/lazy I am feeling. About serving in love. Suddenly 1 Corinthians 13 has a whole new level of meaning, beyond the wedding vows!

| Sunrise. I love sunrises. I love mornings. I love seeing the sun rise in the morning. |
I confess I started the week in lamenting my offer to babysit (this was after I'd had a few too many battle-of-the-wills with the kids).
God had smacked me on the back of the head by the end of the week, and reminded me that everything that must be in love. Or is it worth nothing. And I would have come here for nothing.
So, thank God for a change in attitude! He's recolouring my world, and life is good and enjoyable again.
And to celebrate, here's a few pikkies to give you an insight into my little world in Thailand:
