delight yourself in the Lord

Hey, guys. Sorry for the long rant yesterday. I feel much much better today. I AM excited to go to Gyeongbuk and can't wait!! Did you know...this province has the most World Heritage Sites in all of Korea? It was also where the capital was during the Silla dynasty (57BC-935AD) and marked itself as an integral hub for politics and trade. Korea's birthplace of Buddhism also lies here in Gyeongju, and the whole city itself is something of an "open-air museum." In fact, some of Korea's oldest buildings and temples are situated here. I am going to get the chance to experience some real culture and history here, guys! Thank you, God, for speaking to me during my prayers over this. I need to be here more than I need to be in another city, it is clear. I wish I could say more on this blog to not leave you wondering, but I will leave it at that. I am so excited! Only 14 days left!!!!


And within those 14 days, I am waiting to get my visa back and booking my flight (I know, it is late, but I have been waiting for weeks for my Korean Air card so I can earn all the extra miles). I got the paperwork today, so hopefully the card is for tomorrow's mail. Lots of preparations still too and hanging out with people as much as I can, making the most of my time left. I have a garage sale this Saturday with my roommate to try and sell some more stuff. Then, my mom comes next week to spend time together before I leave and to help me with getting all the last minute details together. It has been really a test and learning experience getting everything ready for EPIK and getting my TEFL certification. So much paperwork and organizing and NO room for ANY form of procrastination. I am more of a free spirit and spontaneous, go with the flow kind of person, so it will be nice to have my mom here to help me really organize all my thoughts and help me getting all the last minute details together. Thanks, mom! 


After that, I help at camp for a couple days (can't stay the whole week) and then hop a flight to Korea!


OOOOH, and how could I forget---it's my last day of work tomorrow!!! AND IT'S THURSDAY!! BEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK!!!  I will be sure to update you all on my Thursday night, for sure...and really, all my dinner nights this week. It's been great! What a blessing!
