first post of the new year! (both 2016 and Chinese New Year)

it has been a month of many changes!

Job hunting has been a quick process, I got offered a position within 3 weeks of searching.

Learning to count my blessings: I am thankful that I have the work permit, found a job and am able to start work!

The hours, though long without breaks, is so much shorter than Singapore's and what a huge difference that makes for me!

I am very thankful, and learning to be thankful for what I have.

Learning to see this position through God's plans for me, for us as we are settling down/preparing ourselves to leave.

It certainly settles my heart in a few ways, one more way to be connected, one more way to put down roots.

It has been a step by step process, the Lord knew I couldn't rush.

I needed time to work out my feelings, pacing myself, the transitions.

It's in His perfect timing I've gotten this job and position.

Thank you Lord.
