We're In!

This photo (labeled cute, scary, weird, frightening, funny) is of Felix saying: 'Hooray!'

We've moved into our new abode. So far - apart from a severe case of PMS (way-da hang in there Damon- tee hee hee!)- everything has gone swell.

I love our new house - it's really open and bright. We've got a big yard/garden, and the neighborhood is lovely. Even through the dark, thundering clouds of female hormone imbalance, I saw blue sky: that's how much better it is here!

On Sunday, we stopped by the church that is run by the Canadians, and bumped into a load of people from Abbotsford (my hometown). I really was shocked. Happy-shocked. I couldn't believe it! It's such an awe-inspiring answer to prayer that I don't even know what to think about it. It's pretty unbelievable.

Five minutes from my house in Thailand lies a mini-Abbotsford.

I have spent so many years living as far away from Abbotsford as I could (not because I didn't like it, just because all the action seemed to be happening 'someplace else') and now, just when I become so homesick that I start to loose little bits of me here and there, I find Abbotsford in Bang Saen, Chonburi, Thailand. Next week, a group of people from my old highschool (MEI - woohoo!) will be coming to town as English teachers and orphanage carers.

This is certainly not a coincidence; I mean, come on. I am brought back to reality and life by the realization that the whole 'His eye is on the sparrow' thing is true! If you believe in miracles, you can tell your friends that you know of at least one.
