the good things in life never come easy

Well, to be honest, this has been a really tough week. I had an unpleasant experience at a new church in my area, two typhoons slammed Korea, I had troubles with schools and registering, I spent four hours at immigration, I found out that after all the work and qualifying for the intermediate level through a placement exam, I cannot take the KIIP course (an extremely intensive Korean language/culture course offered through the government) because the time conflicts with my Korean classes at Seogang (and therefore must wait until NEXT MARCH to try and take it again), I'm missing my friends in Gumi, I'm feeling alone again in such a BIG city, and I'm overall just overwhelmed with the change. I'm wondering what it is exactly that God has up His sleeve. All I knew before coming to Seoul is that I need to become fluent in Korean and I will somehow be involved with North Koreans. Period. I assumed things would become more clear after coming to Seoul, but they are just becoming more foggy and unknown. I just trust that God knows what He is doing and that He will work out all things in His time. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they might have life and have it in abundance" (John 10:10). I will not allow Satan to steal my joy, to kill my spirit, or to destroy my drive and passion. God WILL be glorified.

Isaiah 55
