Hear ye, hear ye! If you had noticed the countdown clock on the left of the page, it runs out today! Through the hustle and bustle of the past month, I am blogging to you from the Land of Lincoln. This bunny sends her warmest greetings to you from Illinois, United States!
I arrived at Chicago O'Hare International Airport around 2:30pm after a 12 hour flight from Tokyo. Disoriented and jet lagged, I was picked up from the airport and ferried to my new home, just 30-45 minutes away by car. I checked into the dorms and found it totally amusing how the system is similar to what we had back at Tokyo Christian University. I had to go through my check list and was glad that it was in English. I was totally wiped out and slept till around 9:30 before heading out for dinner with Minga, the international student from Chad who is doing a post bachelor leading to a Masters Degree in Architecture.
Guess where did I have my first meal in the States? DENNY'S! (Hysterical laughs!) Ah, what fond memories I have from Japan and it compliments the newness and difference of this all American all day breakfast chain. Minga and I had a good time getting acquainted and we later took a drive to the neighboring neighborhood to collect her stuff from the family she was staying with the last 2 weeks. Dinner and midnight drive, what an adventure!

urs is a very good testimony that God does not allow our sufferings to go beyond the grace that He extends for us...
like 1 Peter 5:10 "And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast."
looking forward to ur exciting updates! ;p
