Bintulu musings

It doesn't feel like it, but it's been 3 months here in Bintulu. Considering that my assignment is only 13 months, 3 months is pretty significant- in other words, I'm almost a quarter through the stint in Bintulu. 

One of my earliest thoughts was that 13 months could be as short or as long as I want it to be- it could be terribly significant, or not. 3 months in- it feels a little bit of both, thankfully, it feels more significant than not.

Not gonna lie, work has been tough but I'm learning to love the hustle. Some days I just dread it, but I'm learning to realize that a little stress does a whole lot of good when channeled correctly. Keeping the positive mental attitude through the hustle however, does drain the juices.

It's weird to have this feeling of being blessed beyond measure; there's so much good that is happening for me at the moment that I've done nothing to merit. I don't understand it at times. It almost feels unfair and unnatural that things turn out the way it does for me and not for others- I really didn't do much at all. I'd like to blame God for all this goodness.
