I have enjoyed another OFF DAY today :) Today I tried something that I have been wanting to try since coming over here. What was I wanting to try you ask? Well, I was wanting to try havuc suyu (fresh carrot juice). You probably guessed it from my blog title :) The juice was delicious!!
I have had quite a relaxing afternoon and evening. I have been reading and listening to some sermons online. Tomorrow starts up the routine of practice twice a day. Time to get back to work :) Season starts in a week and a half!
Today marks 2 weeks being over here...hard to believe! Time flies when you are having fun :)
9 weeks and 6 days until home!

Today's Verse:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.— Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV)
Thoughts on Today's Verse...When things are tough, I find it easy to call on God and lean on his mercy and grace. He's my ripcord Savior. But I must confess, when I'm reveling in his blessings and things are going well, I am so much like the Israelites and forget to acknowledge that all the blessings I have and all the opportunities I have received come because of his grace. In my joy and success, I need to learn to acknowledge him and not trust on my own wisdom and strength when things appear to be going well!
My Utmost For His Highest:
The true test of a person’s spiritual life and character is not what he does in the extraordinary moments of life, but what he does during the ordinary times when there is nothing tremendous or exciting happening.
WOW! This is really good!!
Our Daily Bread:
I believe that God’s goodness is the point of His creation. He is “good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works” (Ps. 145:9). He colored the world for our childlike delight. He’s like that, you know.
God, the engineer of all creation,
Spoke the word, and beauty was begun,
Then He gave to us His great salvation
Through the sacrifice of His own Son. —Hess
God’s glory shines through His creation.
I hope you all have had a great Tuesday! Tomorrow is hump day (Wednesday) :)!! Today marks 2 weeks officially that I have been in Turkey. I will be home in 9 weeks and 6 days...time is flying by!
P.S. Check out the pic below of the delicious carrot juice :)
