An Apple A Day Keeps Sad Thoughts Away

No time to blog today as I was in orientation all day. There was A LOT of information shared and learned. It was good to finally see some of my Facebook friends face to face.
I will make it up to you tomorrow as I write blog drafts on the 13 hour plane trip. I'll post as soon as I can get Wi-Fi.
Last week, Global Missions sent me a fantastic box full of goodies-a lovely binder was included with a wealth of information. I freaked a couple of nights ago when Jo walked into my bathroom carrying the binder in one hand and a pen in the other. I asked her if she drew in my binder. I just knew there was going to be pages marked with chicken-scratch. She informed me she drew an apple. I looked, and sure enough...that doodle DID look like an apple.
How many times have we panicked over nothing? How many times have we let our blood pressure rise in seconds just to realize the situation really wasn't anything worth sweating over? I pray we don't panic while traveling and can JUST BREATHE. I pray your week ahead is a smooth one. Go with the flow, yo.
I'll be back....
XOXOXO
Melissa

  1. Have a wonderful trip. Keep smiling. The women you meet will be blessed by you as you will by them. I just hope China is prepared for you.

  2. I read on you facebook entry that you were commissioned by the Arlington Heights CC before leaving. That was the church we attended for 12 years in the 70's and 80's. I still keep up with some friends. Small world, isn't it?
