Challenges.

There are great days and then there are rough days when you live overseas. Today was one of those days that was just rough. There isn't any real explanation, it just was. My attitude started last night and continued throughout today. Gosh, I want a fridge that doesn't drip water because the freezer doesn't work and is just filling with frost, I want a washer that works and doesn't take 3 cycles to get the soap out, I want things to go smoothly... I want, I want, I want...all what I cannot have right now! It is humbly and very stretching but also so good for me. In the midst of thinking about those things, I have to stop and be so thankful that at least I have those things to use and that our life here is overall pretty simple. A lot of the people here live very hard lives and work hard for everything they do. (have to handwash everything, no fridge, etc.) Really, at the end of the day I have nothing to complain about. HE has been so good to us thus far! I am blessed with a wonderful family! Today was just a challenge and need to get the right perspective! Just keeping it real!
