So, I got a nice little surprise this morning. I has just woke up and was spending some time with the Lord when I hear my door bell ring. I was thinking to myself "who could that be?" then much to my surprise I look and see it is the postal man. Well, sure enough I had a package that he was delivering to me. I was surprised to see that I had a package sent from a family in the States. Remember when I went to Africa this summer? Well, the family that my sisters and I know and went to visit and help out sent me a couple of t-shirts, some other goodies and a picture collage book :) It was a nice little surprise for sure to get it!
I snapped a couple pictures with my phone of some pictures that were in the book that they had made for me and I made a little collage :). I thought I would share the pictures with you above! The Vanderwals are now back in Africa and just finished up their first mobile clinic of the year.
We had film this afternoon and then had practice. This evening I stopped at the store on the way home and also got dinner with my other 2 foreign teammates. One of my foreign teammates who left last week, came back today and will be here for the next few games. It is nice to have her back.
This evening I have been relaxing. I listened to a few messages online, did some reading, and now about to start working on a photo book from my last year overseas in Poland. I did a photo book from my first 2 seasons, so it is time to do one from my season in Poland. It is coming along great so far :) I worked on it some a week or so ago and so far so good! I enjoy organizing the pictures and placing them throughout the book.
I hope everyone has had a great day today! We officially say bye to the month of January and move into the month of February...here we go! It was nice to flip the page on the calendar. It means another day closer to getting back home. I am enjoying my time here, but I always look forward to going home as well as the season starts to wind down.
Tomorrow we don't practice until 4:00 p.m. and then I plan on relaxing the rest of the evening.
God bless,
Megan

I AM YOUR STRENGTH AND SHIELD. I plan out each day and have it ready for you, long before you arise from bed. I also provide the strength you need each step of the way. Instead of assessing your energy level and wondering about what’s on the road ahead, concentrate on staying in touch with me. My Power flows freely into you through out open communication. Refuse to waste energy worrying, and you will have strength to spare.
Whenever you start to feel afraid, remember that I am your Shield. But unlike inanimate armor, I am always alert and active. My Presence watches over you continually, protecting you from both known and unknown dangers. Entrust yourself to My watch care, which is the best security system available. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.
Psalm 56:3-4 – “But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid?What can mere mortals do to me?”
