Reflections/Observations/STRUGGLES

Hey darlin's! I'm doin absolutely fabulous and I pray that you all are as well.

Things are still going well. I reflect daily on all the blessings that God has so graciously given to us and most times I am at a loss of words. Just this week alone we have had His word manifest in our lives. He is a RESTORER!! No doubt about it. Things that had been taken, are now being given back. "......some 30, some 60, some 100 times as much as had been planted"[Matthew 13:8] Without a doubt this was a great leap of faith for us and as we are blessed we will bless as well.

Now for a lil interesting sidebar.....you know how when you go to the salon (hair, nail. ..) you chit-chat with the stylist or nail tech? Because 9 times out of 10 you already know them? You're a regular? Right? Yeahhhhhhhh,  not so much here. I mean DEAD SILENCE!! I had to put my headphones back in while she did my nails. I think because there is such a difference in "class designation" labor workers are looked down upon. Not just construction or maintenance,  but also grocery store cashiers, nail techs, taxi drivers, nannies, housekeepers.  These are the lowest of the low here. They even make the nanny dress a certain way. It's pretty darn sad to me. But at the nail salon, the patrons hardly said 2 words to these chicks. Some were being worked on by 2 people at a time. I don't know if my chick was afraid at first or what, but I made her talk to me. I make it my priority to smile at them and acknowledge them as much as I can. ESPECIALLY the ladies I see in the mall. Who knows what they experience on a daily basis. It's taking a bit of getting used to, to say the least.

Still meeting new faces. Still getting to know the country little by little. Here are a few snap shots of our compound.  Enjoy.  Know that I love ya! Mean it!

Oh yeah, PLEASE keep your girl in prayer. I am still tryna get this sleep thing worked out. On a mission to get both an Aloe Vera and Lavender plant to put in the bedroom. Heard they both emit oxygen at night to add in sleep.... well see. I'll keep you posted....falling asleep as I type right now!!
