A&W

my vacation time has been really good. It has been good to be with friends, and good to be away from the normal hard things of my life.

There is an A&W in Dhaka and we went and got cheeseburgers and chili-cheese fries...and FREE root beer floats (thanks to beth and her good eyes. there was a coupon on the back of a receipt from the grocery store). it was amazing...and we played "make up your own rules UNO" (where the winner of each round gets to make up a new rule)...only i bought my cards here...and they're a bit ghetto. the colors are different sometimes...and they're "OHNO" cards instead.

I also went to a secret wedding reception, and yesterday we went swimming at the British club. (There are lots of ex-pats here, and they signed us into the club!)

tomorrow I head back home, and honestly I'm not very excited about it yet. I feel like this time has been good, and has allowed me to step out of some of the hard things in my life - but i also feel like i'm going back to all the same, and I feel tired in the deep parts of me. My heart feels a little hard. I feel like i'm in this season where it is hard to be here...and I have to just press in and trust that God is at work...and somehow believe that He will revive and renew me...like i'm going back only with faith that God is good and with me...and that He can breathe new life into me.

So...i'd covet your prayers as i travel tomorrow (Monday) back to life as I know it in my city by the sea.
