It has been a while

I have neglected my blog...

I have realized that I don't really like writing about myself...it is slightly boring considering I am simply writing about events that have already occurred in my life. I find that I would rather play guitar, read, eat, or sleep. But, for the sake of continuing on and finishing my blogging experience in Korea, I will do my best to persevere. :)

Well, my last post was in November, so quite a lot has gone down since then. I had an amazing Christmas in Thailand. It didn't feel like Christmas, and I think that is exactly what I needed. I was worried that there would be Christmas songs playing and snow falling here in Korea and that I would be really homesick for a "normal Christmas." Fortunately, I was on a beach relaxing in the 92 degree weather of southern Asia. It was a nice break from Korea and the monotonicity of teaching. Since I have been back, four foreign teachers at my school have quit and gone back to the U.S. Mainly because the administration at our school is...well... incompetent at best. All of them were my friends and I miss the work atmosphere that was once present here. I also lost my weight lifting partner...(Josh you better be lifting in Cali. 5 times a week). Work has not been too bad because there are only so many classes that I can teach and I am pretty much maxed out. We are supposed to get all of our new teachers next week so I am eager to find out who my new co-workers will be. Other than that, I have been hanging out, teaching English, playing guitar and catching up on my reading.

I am always a person who tries to discern why things are happening in my life, just because I know that there must be a reason for everything so I naturally want to know what it is. I have come to the conclusion that the Lord is taking things from me in order to create in me a greater dependence on him. I have no internet at my house, no T.V, my gym shut down for a month, and my best friends in Korea have left. If you would have told me six months ago that this is how my life would turn out in Korea, I would have run for my life and stayed in the States. The amazing thing is: I am 100% content with my life right now. I know that the Lord will always provide, and I think that always scared me a bit. Because, to be dependent on the Lord means that we have to be "without" the things that make us comfortable. Well, I am work now and I have to begin preparing...

Maybe I will blog again soon...:)
