Here for a reason

Well, it had to happen eventually, yes this morning I was late. Somewhere in my brain, I thought 8am was actually 7am and it took me 20 minutes to realise actually, no it isn't. I should get docked my day's pay for that but since the only thing I missed was greeting and car door opening, that would be highly unfair. Maybe no-one noticed. I didn't clock in anyway.

I hid myself in my room last night watching Cars and Jonny English, which remind me of Emma and Katie respectively. That may have something to do with Emma quoting "my name's Mata, like towmata without the terr" and "she only wants me for my body" and Katie being in absolute hysterics throughout Jonny English. Bless my family. I wonder when my dad is coming over, I was told it was quite soon, so I get to see my Daddy! I had a deep thinking session last night as well, pondering why I came to China, what I'll get out of it, what I'm missing back home etc. It started out because I was feeling a little homesick and I was thinking about what was stopping me coming home. By the end of my train of thought, I felt much better about things, which seems strange but I'd reaffirmed that I wasn't just here for the kicks, God placed me here, which is incredibly reassuring. I know that as often as I might contemplate giving up and coming home, I won't, not until it's time. Everyone has moments when they are feeling weak, but there are plenty of things and people keeping me strong.

It's raining today. It gets rid of some of the humidity, so I'm much happier today, much more comfortable.
I love my K3B class, I have them 4 days a week. Their class teacher sat through my lesson today (there normally is another teacher or assistant around in case they start running up the walls) She was taking lots of pictures of the activities and of me working with the children. At the end she told me to choose 2 good students and we had to pose for photos. Maybe there was a purpose to it. That's a Chinese thing, saying maybe a lot. I hope I don't too much. Maybe and actually. You hear those a lot.
Yes today, I'm much happier, much more peaceful and content =)
