I. Invitation to the Voyage

"THERE IS a majestic country.. they say, which I dream of visiting with an old friend..."

The clock seems to be ticking faster, or maybe it's just my heartbeat, and yet the things that I need to get done grow exponentially. I have a week till I leave for S. Korea for a year (or more) and I'm just now figuring out that, wow, I have a week till I leave for S. Korea for a year. (Or more.)
So many ties are loose and I can't help the feeling that I'm entering into something bigger than I know unprepared. But what is prepared? Most of us are terrrible at planning things perfectly. We can't read into the future. All you can do is do what you can (pretty sure I made that up) and let the Good Lord fill in the rest...

Hm. I'm not sure if I'm at peace quite yet, but everything is just a season.
I know what I need to do and I AM excited about living and teaching English in a foreign country. In a week, the next blog will either be one of excitement, or well, no blog at all. Who'd want to hear a sob story?

Don't worry about tomorrow, let tomorrow worry about itself. 



Ps. If I haven't seen you or talked with you yet, crack the whip!

My girl.

I am so excited to hear all that the Lord is going to do in your life, and others through you. However, my heart is already aching with you not here! I might be moving to France soon, and if I do I will be traveling a lot. So South Korea will just have to be part of my list, no questions asked. I can't wait to read of your travels and hear from you. I love you so much.

Yey! Something big is going about to happen and I can't wait to hear about it! I'm glad you have a blog too... I don't feel like as big of a nerd now. Ha.

Like you said, don't worry about it! I know that you are going to learn so much about life and God and yourself and it's going to be wonderful!
