May: When guests are few and it's HOT!!
May: When time with neighbors is sweet and spring cleaning is in full swing.
May: When news outlets all over the world make Thailand look like the end of said world.
May: When God reminds me of the blessings I have and my purpose in life to reflect His name.
May: When I realize I only have a little over a month in my tranquil village by the beach and my stomach does flips because that is ridiculous and cannot be true.
Alas, it is true. WHAT! No.
This is not the last post from Thailand--the post where I start getting beyond emotional about leaving the babies, puppies, women, and fishermen that have made my last year sneakily amazing. No, this is the post before that post, letting those that have prayed for me and wished good things on my behalf know that my time at the Juniper Tree Dolphin Bay is coming to an end.
I leave for the States on July 8. If you have thought about supporting me financially, I welcome these gifts (as they are still needed) but ask that they be sent by the middle of June in order to receive them and use them while I am still on mission in Thailand. I can't wait to catch up with ALL of my family and friends while I'm home. But, there is so many tearful goodbyes to say before that time. YIKES! What a difference God can make in one year.
Look for that SUPER emotional post coming in a month or so. It will hopefully contain some exciting news about my next step in life!! Until then, pray for me and my goodbyes, the state of Thailand's political system, and the guests at the Juniper Tree to be refreshed to do their work.
