I wanted to share a few photos of faces/sights that I am looking forward to seeing in the city. While transitions are often hard, blessings abound in the new things He is doing as well! Here are a few of the simple things in the city that He gives me joy through:
The Muslim district. I am looking forward to stalking people here (ha). Shown here are people at a mosque slaughtering sheep for an Islamic festival.
Conversations in broken language with the friendly locals. This conversation occured in a park, of which there are many in the city (though perhaps not as green as I am used to seeing!). They are great places to meet people!
Yummy cuisine. My favorite is a Korean import....Korean barbecue. Relatively healthy, and wonderfully seasoned! I don't even like meat that much, but this converts me!
Sweet friendships. I am blessed to be able to reconnect with old friends, and I am eagerly anticipating new ones that are awaiting!
Friends, I hope that in whatever season you are in, be it of transition, waiting, or joy that you find sustainment in Him. He holds all things together, He blesses with every good and perfect thing, and they are not to be found apart from Him. These are things I am speaking to myself, and I hope they are truths that you are clinging to!
