I hope you sang along when you read that title cause I was definitely singing when I wrote it. Even went so far as to take serious consideration into which letter is extended when singing. I went with ‘w’. You with me?

Ok, this post is not about the strange thoughts rumbling in my head. Actually, it is.

I leave for home in two weeks. TWO WEEKS!! How is that possible? It’s one of those moments where you’re completely torn on what kind of emotion to feel. I will really miss Manila and the people I’ve met here. I’ll miss $6 pedicures too. Sigh. At the same time, I’m excited to see my family and begin the next stage of my life. Am I sad? Am I happy? My mind is so confused!

I love change. I thrive in that kind of environment. Especially since the changes over the next few years involve me starting a life with Clarence. A life that doesn’t include me in Manila, he in Singapore, and seeing each other every few months. I’m TOTALLY over that. We’re continuing to pray and trust God for His provision on the work front. We have not heard anything job-wise yet, but I keep hearing a certain kind of word in my quiet time:

Don’t spend time with God for what He can do for you. Do it to know Him better and worship him fully.

He will provide in His timing. I will just continue to draw near to Him. I’m looking forward to having a few months at home, completely free to do just that. So thanks for your prayers. Keep them coming!
