Update

So, I know I said I was going to try and post something on here more times than I have but there really wasn't anything to report before today. I officially have an interview date!!! YAY!!! :) My interview date is set for Friday Feb 18 in Chicago. This now means that my employer will be looking for flights to Korea about a week after that. This is really exciting because it means this is finally happening but that also brings about lots of emotions. People ask me what my emotions are right now and to be honest they are all a mess. I am happy, excited, nervous, anxious, scared, sad, overjoyed, etc. You name the emotion and I'm probably feeling it. I am trying to keep a brave face in this and I think I'm doing pretty well but to be honest this is the craziest and yet most exciting thing I've ever done. I know for a fact that I could not go through with this if I didn't have a relationship with the most amazing person who has everything planned. It's when I do things like this that I wonder how in the world people can live without the hope and comfort of Christ. This process is crazy scary but I know that I have absolutely nothing to worry about because I've given it to Christ and He has my best interests at heart. I also know that I couldn't go through with this if it weren't for the support of all the amazing people in my life. Their thoughts and prayers are what help make this worth it. I love you all!!! Please keep praying and I'll keep you posted.

My Very First Post :)

So, here is my very first post; for those of you who know me well, you will be very proud of this first step. I am not one to sit down and write updates and so this blog is something that will be difficult for me and yet something that I believe will be good for me. As many of you know, I have accepted a position as a teacher at a Christian International Montessori school in Korea called KONIS (Kids of the Nation International School). I am now in the process of acquiring a visa. This is a process that has quite a few hoops to jump through and you have to love all those hidden costs. As soon as I know more about a time frame I will be updating people. I am really excited for the experience to come. God is already teaching me so much about trusting him. Yesterday I was starting to freak out about the financial aspect of this endeavor and I just kept praying that God would give me a peace and help me not to worry. Of course, as He does sometimes, He did even more than that - God spoke to someone at our church and they gave me a check for almost the exact amount of what my visa is going to cost. It was like God was saying, "Trust me in this; you have nothing to fear, I WILL look out for you and we WILL get through this together." God is so awesome and I am really looking forward to what He's going to teach me through this experience just as much as I am looking forward to helping the children at KONIS learn. My goal is to update this blog once a week or more. I will be posting pictures, stories and random things about living in another culture. I look forward to writing these updates and I look forward to hearing your responses. Love you all
