Well a lot has happened since my last post. Hye Suk Nam (my first mentor teacher) is now officially back at my school. Gosh, she is such an incredible person! She has been such a blessing in my life. She is a prime example of someone who has not let obstacles/bad experiences affect the way she looks at life. She is full of joy and I'm so thankful that my last 6 months in Korea will be spent with someone who I see as one of my best friends.
Speaking of Korean friends, Sunmin, one of my Korean friends at school took time from family obligations during the biggest family holiday here to have dinner with me. In the midst of the craziness of this holiday, she took time away from her precious family and took me to dinner so that I wouldn't feel alone during this holiday. And this was our first hang out! I'm so grateful for her :) Things like these make me miss Korea already and I haven't even left yet.
Welp...it's about that time to make decisions again..I have looked up flight times to Philippines these past two days. I'm super stoked to be back for a month there..or longer...Lately I have been feeling that God might be leading me to move there again. I'm not sure exactly what it will all entail, but I just as if maybe that's where I need to be. Of course I'm still going to search for jobs in Italy and Spain, but lately all signs have been pointing to moving to where I was born. I have spent the last 16 years running away from where I came from and lately I feel as though I have missed out on a lot of things and feeling as if what I've been looking for all this time is the one thing I've ran away from. I need to look into all the little details, but if this is where God wants to be then I should be so lucky to move there. A few years ago, someone asked me if I'd like to do missions in Philippines and quickly shot down the idea. Why did I put God in a box??? Who was I to respond abruptly? How awesome would it be for me to go back, live there, learn about where I came from, embrace the people there and minister to them? When I think about it..it's perfect. I know the 2 main languages there and I'm learning to love Philippines...so here we go!!! I need to pray it about it more and see what God wants me to do. I'm excited no matter what happens. His grace is so abundant and it's constantly overflowing and I've been more than blessed by it all.
That's it for now...life decisions are awaiting to be prayed for and to be made!
