valentine's day.


happy valentine's day. i love you! :) I KNOW that sounds totally cheesy, but it's true. I don't feel like it's just a day for lovers, I feel like it's a day to celebrate LOVE.
I LOVE Valentine's day. I love love. I mean, the idea that there's this invisible force that can tie people together and connect them and bring joy and pain and suffering and fun and happiness is so beautiful to me. I pray that God's love is real to you today and only increases.
I have about 16 weeks until I come home, but I feel like God is telling me to come back after the summer until January. So I'll be home (South Carolina) in June and probably leave again in late August and will stay in Thailand from late August to January. So, unless God delivers some BiG different message, that's the path.

Thai phrases of the day: *please note, these phrases do not include tones, and yes there are 5 of them*
1. Aahaan Thai phet kwaa aahaan farang kha. - Thai food is more spicy than white folks food.
2. Dichan ja bye boat wan aathiit kha. - I will go to church on Sunday.
3. Dichan rak khun kha. - I love you.
4. Hong naam thii nay kha? - Where is the bathroom?

Jesus is rad quote of the day: Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

Awww, I love love and love you also jjpott! I know you'll have a BIG agenda when you come home, but make sure your CUTE behind has a place in your appointment book for ME! Maybe you can come and stay at my house or we can at least come and see you. :)
Happy Valentine's!

Jopotta,

I can't wait to see you when you return. But I'm glad you'll be going back to Thailand. Oh, SNAP! Dat's right, I said it!

Kidding...the experience you're having there seems amazing and I'm jealous. If you feel that it is the right move to return, then you should return and enjoy even more opportunities to glorify Him.
