Well if you have been invited to this Blog it is because you showed an interest in my journey to Dhaka, Bangladesh to teach in the Grace International School for one year starting this August.
It has been a hard year, and many of you who know me best can understand fully the weight of that statement. Many times I questioned God's leading in my life, and many times I gave up on faithfully following Him. I am so thankful that His thoughts and ways are far above mine (Isaiah 55:7-9) and that He had a plan for my life (Jeremiah 29:11).
So here I am!
Life has changed drastically and I have accepted a position to teach for a year in Dhaka, Bangladesh! See the map below:
I am excited to see what God is going to do with my willingness to follow Him in a completely different life direction! I have always had the desire to teach and to travel, so when this opportunity prayerfully presented itself after many weeks of interviewing, studying, and praying, I was filled with tears of thankfulness.
The school I am going to be serving at has asked me to teach Science and Computer Studies, which is GREAT, and it is called Grace International. The link is: www.grace-international.tv
Dhaka is a busy city with thousands of rickshaws and markets and is rich in culture and art. I am looking forward to experiencing all that I can while understanding fully what it is like to be a "minority" in a foreign place. I am excited that I will be given Bengali language classes, which will help me learn the following alphabet:
There are many pictures I could post from Dhaka, and I thought about it, but figured it would be best to do that once I get there! I am hoping to create a photo journal of my time there, and most likely will use Picasa to do that, so please feel free to check out the pictures as they come :)
I think this is enough for today, as it is only the 8th of June, I still have many days left in preparation here in Edmonton, I just figured it would be good to get this up and running since it is on my list of things to do before I go!
Grace International School!
