A Day Off

Today is my first "somewhat" day off since May. I say somewhat because I do have to teach one class tonight at the BSC at 7:00 but I won't leave my home until about 5:30 0r so. A day off usually consists of nothing exciting just staying home all day and catching up on things. I got out of bed around 11:00 today and did 2 loads of laundry. I read my Bible and tried catching up on organizing some things from the summer. I went through all of my papers that I need to make copies of tomorrow and now I am sitting at my computer at 2:25 in the afternoon writing this blog post. I still haven't taken a shower yet and my apartment could use to be a little bit cleaner but that will have to wait.

I honestly am the personality type that thrives on being on the go all the time. I love the excitement of being with Thai people on outings and running around taking care of things. I love being with Thai people! However, when I stop for a few minutes I often realize oops I have some kind of infection/illness, i'm exhausted in all ways, and I have neglected some things that really need to be done. I'm always struggling to find a balance between it all.

Right now there is no rest in sight for the month of August. I have classes every day at the BSC that must be taught to finish up this term. I am putting on my schedule some serious days of rest at the beginning of the month of September before the next term starts. I hope to one day catch you all up on my blog to the great things happening here. Not sure when that will come because this blog is at the bottom of my list of priorities (but it is there).

Until that time comes here are the highlights:
**3 more ladies became believers this past Sunday (August 7, 2011) Aom, Rain, and Luktarn. Aom went to camp with us this summer and she works in the Science department at Chulalongkorn University. Rain and Luktarn are university students that we met at the BSC.

**Tomorrow I will go to Chulalongkorn University and meet Aom to study Bible/English and she is going to bring several co-workers with her. I'm excited to see what doors this may open at Chula for me in the future!
