It still fills me with joy when I see large drops of rain... especially when they blow a lovely cooling breeze in through our porch windows!! The desert has left me with nothing but an amazingly never-ending appreciation for green and precipitation... and I'm enjoing both here right now as I write!
Yesterday a teammate admitted that he would love nothing more than to be 'stuck in a rut,' but that this country doesn't let us be in any kind of rut because we have to leave every three months to renew our visas. Hah- I'd love to find a rut too. I feel like I've just started finding a path though, and I have to leave. I can't believe that I have been here for three months already!!
Highlights of the last three months?
- people I've met
- fashionistas and faux-pas
- the language I have managed to learn
- weather that is changeable and is not just 110+ deg
- my wonderful roommate :)
- a team that pulls together in a time of crisis
- the cheese and ice cream!!!!
I don't want to complain about leaving. I know know KNOW that He is in control of all this. And even though I will have to be out of the country for longer than anticipated because of paperwork issues... I know that this is for my good. Because He is good.
I'm actually optimistic right now- because I realize I've fallen into some not so beneficial summertime habits like sleeping in a lot, not making plans to get out of the house until late because I'm not teaching, and staying up late at night watching (blush) Wizards of Waverly Place online.
It will be a good thing to "reset" even if I don't feel like I'm in a rut of comfort- because I might actually be in a rut of lazyness.
Dude, Isaac totally talks about that show all the time!!! HA! Meanwhile, how is language-learning going? I continue to lift you up, friend . . . and I'm glad you're enjoying the wonders of precipitation and the color green. ;)
