Ready, Set...NO!!!

I'm quickly approaching the end of my time in South Korea.  Like 3 weeks.

The three months between June and August were spent clinging to a spiritual piece of driftwood.  And while it did cross my mind to not return after vacation; And I was ready to pack it in and shut down after that:

God is bringing life and restoration again.

And where I was standing on the start line for the next season so ready to just go...

Now, I'm not ready to leave.  My heart has found a kind of home here.  Maybe chalk all of this up to sentimentality, but as I reflect, I knew even in the worst of things, my heart was set to see what God had for me here.  I was never ready to quit.

So where I am now is seeing life coming, the growth coming from the investment and labor made.

And as much as I would love to share that daily with my students and with the dear friends of the community I have found here, it is time to move forward.  But as God reminded me, I will always carry this place, these people, this year of training with me.

Forever changed.

Ready... Set...
