The House

Recently I have been getting questions about my house. Rather than writing about the house, I decided to post pictures.

Living Room

Dining Room and Kitchen

Guest Room

Office

Master Bedroom

There are a few unusual decorative elements. They add character, right?

Dining Room Area

Some of the colors are a bit too Cotton Candy colored for me, personally. The guest bedroom is a Cotton Candy pink and the office is a Cotton Candy blue. As for Tom and Jerry, I plan to buy something to hang over them. The open area is quite common. In fact, many of the kitchens are outdoors. Currently the roof area it is just a large grate, but on Monday a screen will be installed over the top. I have been having some unwelcome visitors. All I will say is this, an open jar of peanut butter, a bag of noodles minus the noodles, and something goes boom in the night.

Overall, I am enjoying my new house. It is a bit sparse, but I have been here for less than a month. I will post updates as I add new things. I will leave you with my favorite picture. Who knew that my favorite flower would be growing in my yard. Yay, for frangipani flowers!

A Good Day!

Today was a wonderful day!

First, it was Sunday.

Second, I got to Skype with my family. Yes, I was able to Skype with my parents, my nephew, and my brother. Wow! That is a GREAT way to start any day. It was incredible to see their beautiful faces. I miss them a lot, but I am so thankful that we are able to communicate so easily.

Third, I went into Jakarta for church with friends. I visited JICF and I plan to attend next week. It was amazing! Unfortunately, I was late. Oops! As in a half hour late due to traffic. The nice thing about living here is that lateness is understood when traffic is involved. I missed the singing, but I heard most of the message. I am excited to return next week. Hopefully for the entire service!

Fourth, I ate the delicious Belgian Waffles above. Yum!

Simple things such as these are powerful reminders of God's goodness. I am continually amazed at the small ways that God blesses me in my daily life. I hope your day was good too!

Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you.
