Two Years Ago (2007)


One Year Ago (2008)

Theme of my life: Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait, Wait....upon Him!

My birthday is in 9 days!!!! I will be 8 years old! :)

Letters

By the way, feel free to send me letter, pictures, etc. I've gotten one letter from my friend Michelle. That's it. Nothing else. Not even from my own family. No Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day cards...not one. If you ever feel moved to, please write!!! The only mail I get is the one internet bill.

Church and School

A few pictures from school. I finally went "native." One of my boy's parents sent traditional food to school for Prophet's Day. I ate local style for the first time...with my hands!!! You gather the food in your hands and then squeeze it all together. Then, you use your thumb as a fork. One guess how I felt about this...

As for church, if you look hard, you can see Ray Comfort on the wall. My students (I teach the 12-14 year old class) are learning about Way of the Master. We've finished "Hell's Best Kept Secret," "True and False Conversion," "The Firefighter," and some lessons on how to approach sinners using the Ten Commandments. Next week, they will start to learn how to defend their faith and speak to those of different faiths. The kids are really excited for the upcoming weeks. So am I. I love apologetics.

6th Grade Projects

Just a sample of the work my students have been doing. (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Kush and India). I'm a huge fan of project work.

UAE Doctors

Seven doctors later...My blood vessels are not dilating. I'm not getting enough blood to my brain. That explains my symptoms. I need a MRI soon. Waiting on the approval by the insurance company. My insurance expires this week. Apparently, we are changing companies?!? Who knows. I'm trying not to get stress out about it. Waiting is the most difficult part.

I've been on some medicines for treatment and prevention of the issue at hand. I've been feeling a bit better. I feel like I have a bit more energy. I'm terrible at taking pills. I often forget to take the night pill until late at night. That means, it takes a long time for it to start working...and I stay up late!

But through it all, G-d is faithful! How I would change nothing to see Him glorified. For that, all the suffering and waiting is so worth it. He continues to teach me to trust Him. I am grateful. How I fail at times, yet, He remains the same. I know of no other like Him.

I'm looking forward to the summer. I will be staying with some very dear friends who are family to me. I will be staying in the "country," which means I can relax more. I need it. I will also be going to Repent and Witness again!!! I'm super excited about that. I miss the crew from last year!

Valentine's Day UAE Style

It was also my habebte's birthday! I made her a ghetto cake. There's not much of anything you can decorate cakes with here. I took some chocolate that hardens and I used that spoon to write on the cake. I got mad skillz yo.
