yesterday we went to the chengdu zoo in celebration of cole's ninth birthday! we had an AWESOME time!! we had several friends there with us, and really enjoyed seeing all the animals...there was this one monkey in particular, that was, so ugly...haha...so ugly it was COOL!! does that make sense?? aaaaanyways, we had a lot of fun...it's kind of depressing to go there because the conditions the animals are living in are very poor, but it's wrong to drum up toooo much sympathy for the lions, tigers, and bears when there are children living in worse conditions in this very city...but, that's a topic for another blog...the cool thing about zoos here is that you get so CLOSE to the animals, much closer than you'd ever be able to in the states...plus the chengdu zoo is one of the few that has pandas, we LOVE the pandas! that's cassie's favorite...
today we had a wonderfully refreshing day in fellowship with our expat friends reflecting on G's many blessings in our lives and pouring over wonderful truths in His Word about grace, forgiveness, and our Mediator...there was such a sweet spirit of thanksgiving, i thoroughly enjoyed this sunday...JC continues to show me every day that He is the only One i can depend on, and the only one i really need...
it's back to the school books tomorrow morning...which is kinda icky, but, i don't HATE school as much as some people, which is a good thing considering the profession i believe God wants me to go into, haha...
i'm listening to tenth avenue north, LOVE them...
"could the Maker of the stars hear the sound of my breaking heart? one life that's all i am, right now i can barely stand, if You're everything You say You are, won't You come close and hold my heart?"
Thank heaven that the Maker of the stars DOES come close and hold our hearts when we can barely stand...
