Travelling With Hope

For a finale in Thailand I flew down to Bangkok to visit a friend so we could do fun stuff around the city. It was quite an experience. Growing up in upstate NY and living in Chiang Mai was no preparation for going to a massive 3rd world city. There was so many things to see and do, so much that I enjoyed just walking around and staring at things. I visited a wat because it was at least 4x bigger than all the wats in Chiang Mai and I ended up talking to a Thai man for about an hour. I think he just wanted to practice his English, he was enjoyable to talk to.

The two days that I spent in Bangkok were very fun filled, although not necessarily relaxing. On my way into the city I had some confusion as to which guesthouse I was supposed to be meeting Vic at, so I didn't get to the guesthouse until 1:30am. Then I wasn't tired and I figured I could sleep in late so I stayed up to 3am to write emails, followed by an early 6:30am breakfast, a couple days of heavy tourism, and now flying to the other side of the world. My body should be sufficiently confused by the time I arrive.

As I left Bangkok, I boarded my flight with 90 seconds to spare. Things have fallen into place unusually well, despite unfortunate situations. All this continually reminds me that I'm completely in God's hands; all I can do is trust Him. If I get to see Kerianne safely, I can consider it a blessing and a gift from God. If I find a decent job in a timely fashion, I will have no one to thank but God for watching over me. I've found a lot of comfort in this.
