Today: I am so excited about the trip we have planned in July. We are going to visit an orphanage in Chiang Mai that rescues children that are in danger of being sold into the sex trade or trafficked. We have been emailing a few of the people that work there over the past few months and now that our airfares are booked, accommodation organised and new passports have arrived; I am feeling so ready to go. My husband and I seem to be talking about this upcoming trip all the time and I am grateful that it’s all set in place. I know it will be a life-changing experience and I am so thankful that we will be sharing it together. I feel a huge sense of gratitude for the founders who gave up their successful business in the US to start this worthwhile work. Through their selflessness, children’s lives are being dramatically transformed every day. What an awesome testament to their characters and such an inspiration and privilege it will be to meet them.
Sunday: At my church on Sunday we had an awesome guest speaker. My 7 month old slept the entire service in my arms (we’d forgotten to bring our pram) so I got to hear every word and it was really interesting.
Saturday: We had a busy day with a family photo shoot and minding my niece but I am grateful that our children were so perfect whilst having their photos taken… they were really working the camera LOL and it was so cute to watch. I am also thankful for my precious husband who helped out more than 100% of the day. He is so wonderful with the children and with an extra in the house (4 kids under 4) it was so great to work together as a team. I also really appreciated not having to cook dinner that night and then chilling out together for the night.
Friday: I am so grateful that the hairdresser I saw (different to my usual one as she was sick) refused to cut my hair. I know this sounds odd but I told her I was trying to grow it but I wanted a little trim just to shape the mullet style that had developed over the past few weeks. After some coaxing she agreed to thin it out but not take any off the length so that in another 2-3 months it will actually be starting to get past this stage. I felt a little disappointed initially but after a few hours I was really glad that she’d not cut it short again and I that after some months of frustration at the ‘non-style’ I have been sporting there may actually be some hair grown back to do something with soon.
