Hi everyone. Sorry that it has been so long. We are now looking at February swiftly approaching and January disappearing behind us.
I’m not sure where the time has gone. Im am back at school in my second semester at Culinary school. I have to say that I do enjoy my lab classes a lot. There are times that I want to get on a plane and fly to Africa and never leave. But I know that the Lord has me here doing this for the time being so I have decided to enjoy it and not fight it.
Last semester was all about getting through the culture shock phase. After three years ont he mission field there was a lot to “get use to”. Its almost shocking, no it is shocking, at what the world is like when you look around and pay attention. It was a struggle each day. I felt so alone and lost. But as the title of this blog states. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS. And it’s so true. I was chatting with one of my girls from last year, Jess, and we were talking about life and I realized that we have both been blessed with new friends. She just recently started going to a new church which has a college group. And I have my bible study here at school. What else I realized is that we were both praying for each other to find friends and have a community. Its so cool that God cares and wants us to have friends to have fun with and to know that we are not alone. We could all live without friends. So many people do everyday. I feel blessed to have such great ones and now I have friends here at school to add to that list. I know it may seem funny to some about how excited I am to have friends but its something that means a lot to me. And I’m just thankful that Jesus knows that.
Jess and I last year at home in Port Elizabeth.
