!!!FYI!!!!

I am not sure what I wrote in the last blog to make you all feel that I am unsafe. I do feel very safe every day. I have never – not one day- since I have been here not felt safe.

So I do want you to know that.

I am aware of my surroundings and use discernment when I am out.

I am just getting use to a new way of life here in China where they do things differently than back in EPA or DF-Dub-Ya!!!!

I am still learning the language, the metro system, and my neighborhood — but I do feel safe- people can just be a little -well a lot rude, I don’t like the staring- but whateva-sometimes I stare back- and they don’t use manners too much. That’s All.

I do appreciate all of your concerns and prayers and I receive that!!!!

I am excited about life! I am filled with Hope. I am overwhelmed with JOY! 

I am going to do my best to live by the ‘Glad Texts’

(one of my favorites is–Psalms 98:4) — Did you know that there are over 800 Glad Texts in the Bible?!?! More than one for each day of the year for me to live by.
