First of all want to wish my good friend Abbie a Happy Birthday. I would post a good picture from our past here but I didnt bring any photos with me and so I cant do that :(
On Abbie's birthday I signed a contract to teach at a school for ONE year in Istanbul. How exciting!!! I can see God's hand in this entire situation and how He provided me the opportunity to do this and protected me in many situations. Today I decided to read Psalms and sometimes I choose one by just opening up to a random one and today one of the verses says: Psalm 146:9a The Lord watches over the alien
Now although I am not really an alien in terms of science fiction, hahahahaha, I sure am an alien here in Istanbul. I do not know the language and really I thought I was street smart but not here. The whole situation of hopping into a strange man's van just put things into perspective for me.
TO end it all I feel like Satan is attacking a lot here at the same time that God is opening doors and growing me in my faith. I pray that I remain obedient and sensitive to the Lord's leading.
