Thoughts from a Overseas Drama Queen.

Wait a second....I have a thought.... What if we learned to be content in every situation! That would be amazing! Is it even possible? Being content here in Thailand is one of the things I have been struggling with. I had taken to complaining, wishing things were different, or better. I wanted to just be content.... but how?
I decided the first step to trying to reach this goal is to give thanks in every situation. It was been amazing how my attitude has changed. Yes, I still complain, but I catch my self and be sure to think of something to be thankful for.
I am learning contentment is not just a state of being. It is a choice you have to make everyday.

Friday Night was a blast! My Friends and I decided to go out and hangout at a place called Mega Bang Na. It is a huge Mall! One of the biggest I have ever seen! Our group was made up of an assortment of people.

Janna is from Germany. She goes to my language school, and has become a wonderful friend! We study the bible together and encourage each other so much! Diasuke is from Japan. He is in my class at school. We always have alot of fun talking in and befor class! I have been teaching them American slang.
Annabel is part of my church group. She just arrived in Thailand about 2 weeks ago. Bal, Geait, and Qwan are friends from KBU university.

Annabel and I met with Bal early to help him shop for some clothes. That was alot of fun. When everyone had arrived we decided to go get Japanese food. It was so good. We sat at a table with a big pot in the middle. It was filled with two kinds of soup juice. Beside the table was a conveyer belt that carried different types of meat and vegetables around to the tables. You simply picked out what you wanted and put it in the soup to cook. There was also a buffet you could go to and get other food. It was so delicious! But what made it even better was the company.

 We laughed and talked the whole time. We all filled ourselves to maximum capacity! When we could eat no more we walked around, talked, danced a little, and played in some water. Then we went home. I am so blessed to have the friends that I do. I came out of that night feeling refreshed. Praise God for blessing me with such wonderful friends!
