I have broken down and started a blog!

So I thought that I could just survive this new journey to Istanbul with just updating my status on facebook but after yesterdays encounter with "lost in translation" and getting in a van with a stranger I thought maybe I will just write a blog.

Life here is going well. I don't really love living at my job, but just like life here on earth, this is temporary at the moment. It got me here and after this week I will have been on three interviews. It is amazing how after a few years of patience I am finally being offered jobs that I really want to do, teach!

It will be interesting in the next few days to see what happens in terms of offers from the school and where I will end up working. I can truly say that this past year of working at a different school has really prepared me for my career here.

Also, for those of you who don't know I had been praying that I would meet some good Christian friends who I could grow with. Well God has answered that prayer as well. This Friday I will be going to Bible study at the church I have been attending, Praise God.

One last thing if you could pray for me as I would like to make a decision soon as to a job for the school year, some friends who are praying about joining me here that God will open the door for them to come, and one prayer request I am can not broadcast on a public sight. SO thanks to everyone home in Chicago and anywhere else who is interested in what I have to say.
