It's Friday

I filled in my calendar for the month of December.

It's going to be a busy month.

I LOVE IT!

My days are filled with school prep, shifts at work, Christmas/Birthday parties, church functions and just pure awesomeness. Oh and physio three times a week . . . which I LOVE.

The last two months have been very low key while recovering from knee surgery, very low key. But now life is busy, there is routine again - well a routine that doesn't involve: Waking up, going to physio, coming home, sitting on the couch watching TLC till bed time - repeat.

I find joy in routine, in having things to do, having things to look forward to. I love that I am working again. Have I mentioned how great my job is, how fulfilling it is. Sometimes I complain about work, not sure why. Mostly because it is shift work. If you ever hear me complain about work, please tell me to shut up and remind me that I really do have the best job ever. So stop whining.

I am continuing my Captivating journey. The book is life changing, seriously. I have never felt this way while reading a book. Its amazing, it's a great feeling. Today I learned that God PASSIONATELY loves me. That's a GREAT way to be loved. And really for the first time I felt it, brought tears to my eyes. Being loved by the creator of the WORLD is a true gift and a blessing. Something that until now I have taken advantage of.

(What's really funny right now , is that I am on hold with EI and they are playing my heart will go on while I am typing this. Seems fitting?)

Anyways, God Loves my flaws, my horrible flaws. And together we are working on restoring my wounded heart. Working on those feelings of worthlessness. And I am finding my WORTH!!!

I am rambling today, I apologize. I just feel AWESOME!!

So in conclusion: It's Friday, I love Friday.

The good, the bad, the deported.

Well there has been an interesting turn of events in my life lately. When I moved here there were some complications with my Visa that I found out about around week 2, so I always knew that this might happen - but I also know that the Indonesian government changes laws every other day so the chances that I would get my full visa and be able to stay here for a year where equally as possible. Basically right now I am on a training visa which is a 30 day visa that can only be extended a maximum of 6 times. Mine has now been extended 4 times. In order to get my full visa I need to apply for my kitosk which is basically my Indonesian citizenship, unfortunately the government recently put up strict restrictions about foreigners who can get this kitosk, the government doesn't believe that I am qualified enough and has kept rejecting my visa application. Recently some English teachers from another prominent English school in Surabaya got caught with drugs, which is a HUGE HUGE deal here in

I am currently reading the book "Eat, Pray, Love" and I am finding myself relating to the author on SO many levels. If you have never read it I strongly encourage you to it is a good read, and there is a movie coming out starring Julia Roberts . . . Anyways, it is about a woman who decides to take a year of her life and make it her own and travel - something she loves. There is a part in the book that I feel is straight from my experience here so far. She is talking about when she was in China parents would bring their terrified children up to her to shake her hand, which upon happening the children would burst into tears. I can't tell you how many times this has happened to me since moving here, they see a buliea (Indonesian for foreigner) and bring their poor chid up to this towering blonde giant and make them shake my hand. Considering the size of Surabaya (it is the second largest city in Indonesia) there are not very many foreigners here. When I first came here it r

BALI BALI BALI . . . and stuff

My goal when I moved here was to try and update my blog at least once a week . . . I suck, I know. Things have been, well, interesting as of late. I am not going to go into too much detail but basically a vicious rumour was started by someone Kelsea and I had called a friend. Long story short she knew she was wrong and is no longer in Indonesia. Well the week that this all came out was a tad stressful so Kelsea, Tico and I decided last minute to go to Bali, this was decided on Thursday night and we left on Friday. Friday morning I went to book the tickets and forgot to book a return flight home (I am stupid I know). Thankfully our boss found us tickets to get us home, but we had to pay double for the tickets. Anyways our flight was scheduled to leave 8pm on Friday night, I was finished work at 6:45 and the airport is 20- 3o minutes away from the school. I told Kelsea and Tico to be at the school for 6:45, of course they were late and we didn't end up leaving the school until 7:20
