My journey in Thailand has not been easy. Today is the biggest hurdle I've had to get through. Up till today, all my worries have been that I will be a good teacher. Actually today was my first day teaching on my own, and it went very well. I thoroughly enjoyed teaching the kids, they are so cute and they want to learn, so it makes teaching great! But, back to my hurdle. I found out that I will be transferring to a different school in a different town. What a scary thought! I have been getting used to the ways of Bangkok, the city traffic that continues to honk into the wee hours of the morning, the dangerous street I have to cross every time I go to school (which involves me standing in the middle of the street with cars zipping by me on either side), and even the friendly fruit lady who's fruit is oh so wonderful and oh so cheap! Today made me realize that God is in complete control of my life. I should never worry about anything, who am I to worry when God is always there and guiding me every step of the way? Today was hard for me, but I know there will be harder days to come, and I realize that worrying only makes me question God. My future is questionable, but I know that because God is in control, everything will be okay.
