I Spy and Other News
Years ago I heard a radio preacher talk about looking for the "I Spy's" in our lives; others call them God sightings. At any rate, it is those little--or big--reminders of God's loving care. Today I had an I Spy. I visited the nurse at the travel medicine office regarding important immunizations. She discovered in the course of the conversation that my reason for going to Thailand was missions. When it came time to pay the bill, she waived the $40 consulting fee! I am grateful for the unexpected ways God shows His loving care.
Regarding language school, I am in the process of enrolling at the Union Language School (ULS) in Bangkok, which meets Monday-Friday, from 8 am to 12 noon. There is an hour commute one-way from where I will be living, so I will be on the road a couple hours a day as well.
Anticipated departure date is September 6. Prior to that I will be spending about 2 1/2 weeks in PA with family and friends. And in between all that I will be sorting and packing! Time is flying by rapidly now!

Sharon, just so you know, I recently printed your blog out for Mom and Dad to see. It's getting close now. Are you getting more and more excited? :)
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love and prayers,
Tim

Hi Sharon. Those kinds of happenings (I Spy events) are always neat. I've experienced some of that too with my Honduran MAMA Project trip this past January.
I came across another neat thing recently in a blog that I often check. In this blog the person was writing how that we need times where we get alone and be quiet just to let God look at us.
Time must be going fast now. I will look forward to seeing you here before you leave.
As always, I continue to pray for you on this new venture.
Love, Tim
