1) eunice, my dear friend from church, felt compelled to give me two worship cds that she loves to listen to - by terry macalmon. come to find out, i had been really missing his worship music from back home and had only the night before been browsing his website and looking at the cds online. i love how the Lord works! since she gave them to me last week, i have been spending a lot more time in worship and praise. i am loving the presence of His Spirit and finding myself hungrier and hungrier for more of Him in my life.
p.s. john 13-17 is amazing...
2) mrs. kim and i have been talking about a change in my step 3 (advanced) program. we may be switching from 5 to 3 days a week - possibly a MWF deal - in which we will have to become a lot more focused in the curriculum. tomorrow morning she and i will go to little john's (an english curriculum bookstore) to pick out the next set of books for these kids. pray that God gives us wisdom! the strongest known possibility are the six remaining books of c.s. lewis' chronicles of narnia.
3) yesterday gabriella, one of my advanced students, had to give a speech in english about a favorite role model to her private christian school... along with i don't know how many others. i just got news tonight that of all the students, she won. her mother called mrs. kim to thank her and our school for all our hard work. it is so encouraging to hear this news! i am so proud of gabriella. she is a hard-working, diligent, and sweet girl, and she deserves this honor.
4) it's getting colder. tuesday i broke out my winter p-coat and scarf, and our school brought the heaters out from the basement. the temperature is still wavering between fall and winter, but yesterday and today it's been a little warmer. enough for late night walks to enjoy the clear night sky.
5) britt, stef, and i continue our tuesday night bible study. this tuesday we talked about dependence on God versus independence and relying on our own wisdom and reasoning as a result of the Fall. it was a really challenging topic, and we addressed the difficult issue of submitting every area of our lives.. all those decisions... to the Lord and allowing Him to lead and guide us. i pray God gives each of us a breakthrough as we seek to follow Him.
6) i am in communication with Operation Mobilization (OM) in the US, though i am not pushing the process. i'm content with where God has me here in korea, and i am kind of waiting until i go to germany over christmas for the Lord to make timing clear.. and just to get a sense of His heart. more details later...
my kids are here, so i should go. know that i love and miss you all. write when you can.
