As I sit here in my comfortable room in Saigon, it is, in some ways, hard to believe that I have been in Vietnam for nearly 6 weeks. In another way, it sometimes seems so much longer.
I came here expecting to teach English and to do a few odd jobs as well..... God had other plans for me. I believe that He brought me here, not to just be another volunteer in this new land, but to exchange that woman who left Australia in May, for the new woman that He wants me to be.
When I accepted God's plan for me, to come to Saigon, I know that a great change came over me. I was no longer unsure of myself when decisions had to be made; I just felt a complete calm come over me as soon as I decided that Vietnam was to be my destination.
I know that He shouldn't, but God continually amazed me and still does. Right from the time that I agreed to come here, God did amazing things in my life.My TESOL Course proved to be no barrier to me. My prayer was that God would help me through the course and, faithful God that He is, He not only helped me, but He allowed me to help others who were having difficulties. I have never been a scholar and it is only through Him that I was able to do that.
This blog was written during my first term of three months in Saigon . . . for some reason, it never got finished, but it certainly is true.
