#149 - The joys of being home!

Vol.# 149

Yay! I am back in Toronto! 

Thank you to so many who have prayed for a great transition back to life here. 

I am already building God memories, from seeing my parents, siblings and nephews, to spending time with old friends (N and J), taking walks down on the Beaches, discovering a new bakery where they make scones of various kinds (thanks K and C and K!), dinner and great food at my 'second' Dutch family here, and so much more... watching T20 overs cricket on TV with a Trinidadian team called 'Knightriders' with my Dad and excited to see players from different countries (India, England, Sri Lanka, Jamaica ) play on our team, and so far, Knightriders are ahead in points! The sad thing is my Dad who is 91years has outwatched me in last game which ended at midnight. I fell asleep around 11:30!

Did I mention that I got a library card and Mom asked me if I had brought the library home after I carted over 9 books home to read? Oh the joy of walking and breathing in fresh air, drinking from the tap, and going to Shoppers' Drug Mart! I ate my first 'roti' two days ago and it was DELICIOUS! 

It is wonderful to be back in my home church, worshipping and being filled up. I am looking forward to spending time with you all and hearing your "God" stories.

Praise: 

I got my OHIP reinstalled yesterday. Thankful for your prayers and the 2 elders who prayed for me at church last Sunday (sweet to be able to be prayed over at church!). Now I can go to get a chest X-ray for a persistent cough!

I am still up at 4 in the morning (Cambodian time) and I feel ready to sleep at either 10 in the morning or by 8 at night! But I am praising God for my time here. I am still running around trying to make doctors’ appointments now but I feel so blessed to be back to spend time with blood family and you, my 'other' family. I cannot wait to build up more memories with you all. I am praying for those who are away on holidays to have a safe and laughter-filled time away! 

I am looking forward to see what God will do in the upcoming weeks here.

A shoutout to Damien, Darlene and the girls, and welcome back to Roupen, Lena and the boys!

Love, His Warrior and Disciple,
