"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

A Nice Fall Day

Ok, it was nice to finally have an opportunity to rest. Not sleep rest, but rest. I am sitting here waiting for the new English teacher to arrive. She will be staying with me for a couple of days until her place is ready. She was actually suppose to be my roommate, but asked to live by herself. Guess that means I am on my own this year.

I spent my day cleaning, going for a walk, and just spending time with Jesus. It has been great.

On my 2 hour walk I got an opportunity to look at the surroundings in which I live with different eyes. God has been opening my spiritual eyes the past couple of weeks, and I haven't noticed my physical surroundings as much.

I love the fall and the changing of the leaves' color. Though this was not as beautiful as home it was still fun to notice that it was fall today. I even got to watch a little football on my blurry American TV station today.

There was a lot of pollution in the air today. Plus, there were many odors in the air, as well. It was kind of weird. It was either really pleasant smells or really unpleasant ones. None the less very strong. The worse smell was the one coming from the front of my place. It was a bag full of fish heads, Yuck!!!!

Well the door bell is ringing so I must go make our newest member of the team feel welcome. I still remember what I felt the night I first arrived and how overwhelmed I was.
