It's almost March, my friends, almost MARCH! Yikes. For those of you so sick of the snow, this is excellent news. One step closer to summer. For us here, it means the start of our summer. And it's starting with the snap of a finger. One day cold, the next day a balmy, wonderful 33 degrees. I couldn't be happier. While I love the cold in Canada, my body does not seem to handle it well here and I spend months in what feels like an allergy coma some days. I am thrilled to be feeling better and not needing meds to get through the day!
This month has gone by like all the ones before it... fast! It's been a slower month at the clinic, but a productive time for the necessary things like assignments and such. There are good days and bad days, as with anywhere, but generally my days are filled with laughter and contentment. Bina (my classmate) and her family took a week off to do some traveling around the area this month. While they were gone, they graciously allowed me to stay in their house. I love my quiet time, my own space, and my place to breathe so I was really looking forward to this. A house to myself! I did not realize that I would be entirely lonely waking up in the morning to silence instead of the regular noises of the clinic. Or going to sleep at night and not hearing the usual laughter while the girls watch TV. I lasted two nights on my own before decided I much preferred my home at the clinic. My, how things have changed.. and I wouldn't trade it for anything :)
I want to take a few minutes to say thank you to everyone who generously supported me in my last months here. It was so amazing to see things come through again, in ways I never expected. I am humbled and so grateful. You are the reason I can be here, and you are a huge part of helping this clinic to function. God is so good. Even if I doubt, or my faith waivers, he does not.
To finish - while this may seem like a ridiculous thing considering the many forms of social networking already being used, I have decided that I am going to write a newsletter as well. Now before you start thinking I am crazy, let me explain. It has often come up that I have prayer requests or things to share that I don't feel comfortable putting on such an open space like a blog - for that reason, I would like a better way to update the people who really want to know those things. I will still blog, but it will more be the thoughts, stories, and ideas that I feel more open or led to share. If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, you can click THIS link.
That's it for now!
Till next time...
