Where the side walk ends...

Where do you go when the side walk ends? Do you stop and wait for the next brick to be put into place.... Do you just step off...Does the side walk really end or is it just our perception...??  I have kinda reached that point in the path over here in Thailand. I will finish Language school next month. I would love to study more, but school funds have run out. Thus I get to begin something new. :)

I bet you all are wondering what that next thing is..... so am I. :)
The situation:
By the end of May around half the team will be headed back to the states. If I stay here at JP Mansion I will be completely alone. I have no leads for a job or something to do. My Visa is also coming to an end. Basically after school it is a big question mark. Today I found out that I could potentially move closer to the Latin team and help them with their ministry. They work at an university.
As I think and pray about the future God continues to be close to me. Some things he has spoken to me are, “When you find your completeness in Me, you can help other people without using them to meet your own needs.” and “Rather then planning and evaluating, practice trusting and thanking Me continually.” I feel like he is asking me to trust him and not to worry about what is to come. He has given me lots of peace about just living now and not thinking about what is to come.
That has been occupying my mind for some time... and getting this update written. :)

In other news, my days are filled with school and talking with friends. Well more them talking and me listening. I have one friend who talks my ears off twice a day! Her name is Pooh. One time she came and talked to me for 2 hours and I did not even say a word. Really! She is a sweet girl and and good friend. I have another friend named Bwii. He is quiet, but laughs at my jokes. Then there is New who loves to tease and talk English.

My Friends : L to R: Mec, Me, Anabel, New, and Bwii

Pooh and Mec. They are a couple. I love them!

Me and Pooh!
I love School. My teacher is great and my class mates keep me entertained. I can now read just about everything. But I still don't understand everything. Speaking is going ok, but I do wish I could speak better. It is hard to to be able to express myself to my friends.

Please continue to Pray for me for the future. Please pray for my friends. Thank you all for your support.
Much Love!
