So good to hear from you. Your comment...Hi Rebecca! So good to hear from you. Your comment made me realize how you must be feeling all these same things when you moved to Manila. I take those things for granted -- thinking Filipinos are very warm to people from countries. And while that is true, I can just imagine how YOU were feeling to be in a place where you stick out all the time. I know because I feel the exact same way. I get funny looks too (I am sure you did too!) while I am speaking to some of them.<br /><br />It's funny actually but I do understand the discomfort. But what a joy it is to be in a place to trust Jesus completely, isn't it? Hope all is well with you!

First, I'm so happy for God'...Hi Samantha,<br /><br />First, I'm so happy for God's tender expressions of His love for you and Rob in this new season of obedience and unknowns! I just came across your blog on FB and was particularly moved by this post. This is EXACTLY how I felt when I moved to Manila. All of your questions (minus the high school one) were my questions. And I must say that being the tall American white girl amongst beautiful, petite, slender Filipinas did nothing for my self-esteem, so you're a step ahead in that department! You're a gorgeous godly woman - an ambassador for Jesus and for your country, what an honor and a blessing! Enjoy your journey and know that you're not alone! Will be lifting you both in prayer in this new calling.Rebecca Piercehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250492343690075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1137864071980761458.post-35196272523971260522011-01-29T09:32:20.909-06:002011-01-29T09:32:20.909-06:00Thank you so much Diane!
