Many Blessings
This past month has been an extremely busy time. I haven't had a lot of free time to sit at my computer and journal. Showers of blessings have come my way and I haven't had the time to sit down and journal my thoughts.
I am going to try to journal at least twice a week. Even in the midst of all that is going on and all I need to take care of I don't want to forget to sit and acknowledge the goodness of the Lord in my life and the blessings of others.
I have known since October that I would be moving to Africa in July. I told my mom about moving to Africa the day I committed to go. The rest of my family and a few friends were told about a month later. I sent out most of my support letters in January.
It is now May and I think just about everyone that I come into contact with now knows. It's nice to be able to talk about it so freely. I love the encouragement and support people have shown. One of the coolest surprises was when my fifth grade parents and students bought me a bike and surprised me with it. I had prayed and asked the Lord for a bike. The bike would have to be in a box since it would go in the container we were sending with all the big items that wouldn't be able to go on a plane. I didn't have the money or idea how to get a bike in a box, but the parents and students blessed me with one. I started to cry. It was so amazing to me, the blessing of the gift and the thoughtfulness of everyone involved.
That is what the past month has been like for me...blessings and thoughtfulness. I am so thankful for it all...for everyone...so many blessings.

Hey Lyd,
I'm reading your journal on your laptop... hope you don't mind. I hope I can remember my darn user name and password to be able to leave this note...
I'm going to miss you terribly when you're gone... I can hardly think about it. Our lives have been so intertwined over these past 7-8 years...
Love,
Freya
