View of Spring from the hammock

Annika got a hammock for her birthday this week & Melanie, Ani and I took a nap on it this afternoon like three little kittens in the sun. It was glorious.
 

break my heart

Last week I asked the Lord to break my heart for what breaks His. I had just picked up Daughters by Design, a book that my mom sent to me a few months ago.It is a book by Paula Jarot, an elementary school teacher at my school I graduated from: Grace International School. I started reading it thinking I could read it 'for fun' before I went to bed each night. I finished it in two nights and couldn't put it down. It is a breath-taking story about two girls, Sivy & Sopheak, adopted from Cambodia. I remember Melanie TA'ed in Sivy's class when she first came to Chiang Mai. Oh what beautiful girls they are and have grown to be.

palestinian walks

Favorite book of the year:
Palestinian Walks by Raja Shehadah. Beautifully written narrative that depicts a view not many know about. Written by a Palestinian lawyer, this book captures the connection between the land and history of the modern Middle East.

One day I will adventure here
