11 months is
pretty close to a year… and a year is a long time.


I really hope giardia isn’t a part of this year. I’ve had a bad bout of the bug
before and Mexican food has never been the same since. 🙂

New cultures,
new foods, bright colors – yea, yum, yippee!

Nights of
homesickness and wishing my loved ones could share moments of discovery with
me.

Scents. This may sound funny – but I don’t have a sense of smell. I’ve often
joked that either I’m going to be working somewhere that it will be a blessing
that I don’t have a sense of smell OR that when I arrive to where I’m meant to
be … my sniffer will start working. Well, I hope that the smeller starts
working but just NOT at a dumpsite.:)

Dancing. JoY. Smiles. JuMping. Laughter. Giggles.

Tearing of
the heart.

Deep friendships. Family. Brothers and sisters in Christ serving and moving in
the Spirit.

Freedom.

Healing.
Stories of supernatural healing – hard hearts softened, physical restoration.

The stripping
away of what isn’t important.


Dependency on God and His supernatural ability to love – no matter what.

Tears.

Scripture = my bread.

Praise.

Delighted
souls despite circumstances.

Hard times.
Dull times. Hot times.

Surrender.
