Counting My Blessings



"Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God has done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your many blessings, see what God has done." 
- Count Your Blessings

This song pops into my head when I think about all the blessings God has given me in the last month and a half! God is so GOOD! 
I want to share with you some of those blessings. :) 

  • My foot!                                                                                                            At the beginning of Feb my left foot started to hurt and I didn't know why, I thought it might have something to do with my accident. After going to the Dr a couple times and it not getting better, I wondered if it was fractured. I got x-rays done on the Monday before I was to leave and the next day I found out it wasn't fractured, so my Dr decided to figure out what was going on and found that a couple of the little bones were out of place. She put them back into place and I haven't had a problem sense!
  • Not hurting!                                                                                                   Since my car accident in December, my neck and shoulders have been hurting and I've been going to my Dr every two weeks since then to get them back where they are to be. Since being here, I haven't had any problems with them and I feel like everything is where it should be. Praise the Lord! 
  • Good and safe flight! It was a long 16 hours of flying, but it went well and smoothly! 
  • No jet-lag. We got to the house around 11:30pm and I had only had about 5-6 hours of sleep in the last 24 hours... so I was tired. I slept normal that night and the rest of the time too. ;) I think it helps that I can sleep anywhere and that God just had my body adjust so well! 
  • Healthy! So far so good! :) 
  • Bugs don't like me. ;) 
  • Baby did't come yet! We thought he might come before the boys came home... Thankfully he didn't! 
  • Guys came and helped when the truck wouldn't start. Jen, Ellie and I were at Tesco (Like Walmart) getting food and when we came out to leave the truck wouldn't start. :P As we are trying to figure out what to do... two guys come up and ask us if we need help. They helped us try and jump the car... But the battery wasn't the problem. :P Thankfully we found out the problem (has to do with the gearshift not sensing what gear it's in.) and we were off! 
  • Church family! The church here that I'm going to has welcomed me with open arms. It's been wonderful to fellowship and worship with them! 
  • Fully funded! Thank you all who have and are supporting me in this adventure that God has me on! I wouldn't want to do it without you! 
  • All of my prayer partners! You guys are amazing and I can't think you enough! You guys mean the world to me! Thank you!!! 
Those are just some of the things God has blessed me with! 
What has God blessed you with? 
I would love to hear! :)

Terminal 21

So Terminal 21 is a mall here that has 7 floors that are each different places. It's a cool way to do a mall. ;)
Although I think they have Way to many malls here!
Here are some pictures of some of the floors...we didn't make it to all the floors because a little girl needed to get home and go to bed. But I also was ready to go... :) I'll have a chance to go back I'm sure. ;)

                                                          First floor we went on was Paris!


               Oh, and we went to the bathrooms on each floor we went on... they are each different. ;)


                                                       Time for San Francisco!
                                                                                                                    China town!




                                      Looking down to the main floor! It's a long way down...




                                   Best part of the mall.... :) Coconut ice-cream in a coconut!!!

                                                                I think she liked it.... ;)
                                      Time to go to Istanbul... it reminded me a lot of Morocco.

                             Having fun in the pet store looking at all the stuffed animals. ;)
                                                                        Beautiful!


                                                                 On the pillars....







                                                Can you guess what this floor is?!?! :)


                                             Rome had the most beautiful bathrooms.... ;)

                                                               Fun benches! :)
 I don't know what floor this is on... we didn't make it to that floor. ;) But the next time I go... I'll be sure to find out. ;)

First Sight Seeing

For my first sight seeing we went to Jim Thompson's house. He was an american who came to live here after WWII. He started marketing and making Thai silk from the silk warms. It was interesting to take the tour and sad to see his life without Christ.


                                             It rained that day!!! It was also much cooler!

                                                       There were beautiful gardens!!


                                                     Never seen orchids hung like this... :)
