Today was a good day. We had practice, then came back and ate lunch (leftover chili), then headed to meet up with my friend Catherine at Starbucks. We hung out around Taksim for awhile and walked around then watched Taken 3 in the movie theatre. We got dinner out at Shake Shack then headed back home.

Hey All,
Today has been a busy but great day! I slept in a little bit and then headed with Sharon to do some sightseeing. We saw the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, the Spice Bazaar, and the Grand Bazaar. It was a ton of fun getting to see some of the things for the first time myself. We got lunch at a local place and then Andja met up with us to walk around for a little bit at the Grand Bazaar. I look forward to posting some pictures here in the next week or so, and then I will also post a video that I will be making from Sharon's videos that she has been taking as well as pictures. I have also taken some pictures, so I added them to the video as well. I hope you all have a great week ahead! May we remember to be focused on the Lord at ALL times!! If I were to be honest, I am struggling some right now with just some of the things off of the court that are going on with our team, and yet I am reminded that we serve a God who is constant and is in ALL that we do!! God bless, Megan Hey All,
We lost a close one yet again unfortunately. It is definitely frustrating, but we are hanging in there! Tomorrow we have off, so we are going to do some sightseeing around Istanbul. When Sharon leaves I will try to post some pictures and maybe even a video I am working on to compile of her trip. I am pretty tired! Woke up early to take Sharon to church, so I am definitely feeling it! Here are some notes from today's message from church: The One Who Has Authority Mark 1:21-45 1st Scene - Jesus goes in a synagogue in Caperneum; Jesus demands a demon to come out! 2nd Scene - A fisherman's house - Simon's mother is sick and Jesus heals her. 3rd Scene - Jesus gets up early and prays. 4th Scene - Jesus heals a leper! THEME - authority is displayed -through teaching -through healing *Jesus speaks and things respond; He uses His words and touch Genesis - Book of Beginning Mark - Book of "New Beginnings" Jesus speaks and it is! "Jesus is the inauguration of the New Creation" Lesson: When Jesus speaks EVERYTHING obeys. *God gives himself to us so that our hearts may soften towards Him! God bless, Megan http://www.tbftv.org/ - Live link to watch the game live today at 9 a.m. EST!!!
Orduspor vs. Istanbul University Hey All,
Tomorrow we will be playing at 4:00 p.m. against Istanbul University which is 9:00 a.m. EST. I will let you know how the game goes! It will be a tough game, but we have the capability of beating them for sure!! Another great day here in Istanbul. I was able to sleep in some, then we headed to practice, then took the metro back home, and then I made a broccoli and cheese soup along with a salad that Sharon made for dinner. Sorry for the short blog post again, but going to wake up early and go to church, come home and eat lunch, then head to the game! I will let you know how the game goes!! God bless, Megan Hey All,
Today has been another great day! We had practice today and then had a team dinner. We had an awesome meal and then got stuck in some traffic heading back to the apartment. This afternoon I spent relaxing and hanging out with Sharon. My roommate made a chicken wrap for dinner and then I made a fruit pizza...everything tasted so good!! Tomorrow we have practice at 4:30 p.m. and then the rest of the evening will be spent relaxing :) I will let you know how tomorrow goes. Sorry for the shorter blog posts, but the days have been very busy with Sharon here (a good busy). God bless, Megan Hey All,
Today was a busy, but fun day. These days keep flying by! We had practice this morning and then came back and got to chill some. I made BBQ chicken pizza as well as a steak and cheese pizza from the leftover steak Sharon made. We had some chill time and then we headed to watch my friend Andja's team play in Eurocup. They lost a close game by two points, so it was a tough loss for them. For dinner we went to a mall and got a baked potato filled with a lot of goodies!! I am feeling it, so I plan on heading to bed here in a little bit. Another good day :) God bless, Megan Hey All,
Today has been another great day :) I had practice this morning as well as lifting and then Sharon and I headed out to do some exploring. We got some Starbucks and some Coldstone which was really nice! It was nice being able to hang out and then for dinner we came back and Sharon cooked an awesome meal that consisted of peppered beef and brussel sprouts. We ended the night watching a message online. Heading to bed here soon! Tomorrow we have practice and then going to be going to a Eurocup game here in Istanbul of one of my friend's teams. God bless, Megan Hey All,
Today has been a great day!! I slept in, had practice, then hung out with Sharon the rest of the day. I was able to take her to a mall nearby and we walked around there some. Then I took her to a really nice restaurant that serves Japanese food and Chinese food that is really good!! This evening we came back and watched Annie and drank some tea. It is now time for bed! Tomorrow we have lifting and practice in the morning. God bless, Megan Hey All,
So thankful to report that my future mother in law made it safe and sound to Istanbul. It worked out perfectly that after lifting and practice this morning I was able to take the metro and pick her up at the airport. All of her flights went smoothly, and for that I am so thankful! She is now in bed and hopefully getting some good rest. I am going to head to bed myself earlier than normal I think, because I can tell I am tired. It took about an hour to get back from the airport on the metro, plus we had some walking, and it was in the rain. I am so excited to be able to show her around Turkey and let her get a glimpse of my every day life. I am also so thankful that my fiancé will be coming next month to visit. I hope everyone has had a great start to their week! I have practice tomorrow early in the afternoon and then I plan on hanging out with Caleb's mom in the evening and going to check out a mall and get some dinner. God bless, Megan |
