The Little Things in Life

Leah here.
I am writing now as it rains like buckets outside our windows. On nights like this it gives me time to sit and think about all that God teaches. To be honest, I have found it a hard thing to be here in Thailand. It is not the people or their country that bothers me. Nor is it the dirt or the smells or the food. What I find hard is the hole that is left when you say good buy to people you love and know. I have been told, "oh your just suffering from Culture shock. You will get used to it." But I know that I am not meant to just get used to it. I am meant to learn and grow through this loneliness. God has a purpose for every thing he gives us. And loneliness is one of those gifts from him. It has put me in a place where all I have is him. When I cry I can't just reach out to my family or call up a friend. I find instead his Bible and I hear his voice. I cannot help but know that this is so much more than what a friend or family could give me.
