Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Everyone! Another Christmas has come and gone and I'm back in Indonesia for my last stint. I can't believe how quickly this year is going. I had a fantastic time being home in Canada this past holiday. It was awesome to hang out with friends and spend lots of quality time with my family. I must say I'm sorry to those friends of mine who I missed being able to see (Barb!) but I promise to make it up to you in the summer!

The whole airport thing tends to produce tears in me every time. Whether I'm coming or I'm going.. something about an airport makes me bawl like a baby. Of course there were tears this last time.. as always but it wasn't so bad. I only have 6 months left and having such a short amount of time to get through, with so much to do in the meantime, is a manageable thing to process.

As for what is next, I have no idea except that I'm trusting God to make that clear for me in February. I'll be attending a Job Fair in London England where a whole bunch of International schools will be set up to interview crazy teachers like me for positions in their schools. My top choices of places I'd like to go changes everyday but I'm thinking somewhere definitely closer to home, although really, I can't get much further away. (It's not intentional!)

So this year of 2008 will be a big one, filled with many exciting, new changes and opportunities. There is a new "shire" to leave and a new adventure to begin and I'm psyched!

yes I missed seeing you, but it is entirely understandable. (I'm just so humbled to be mentioned on your blog!)

The summer will be a lovely time. How I wish I could pop across the pond and meet you in London England. A tea with Jessica in London....now that would be brilliant.

You are so brave. I believe that's a direct office quote. But in all seriousness, I do completely admire you. You do have a crazy life, but God has blessed you with such incredible gifts and opportunities. I'm sure you won't even know of all the ways He has used you in the lives of others. Keep trusting Him and I'll keep praying for you.

Only 6 months until next time.
Love you!
