Well.... This trip to Korea didn't start last week, or even last month, it started years ago, when Mike and I decide to follow Christ... To follow Him wherever He would lead, to follow Him out of my comfort zone and into His plan for my family.... We know the old saying " wherever the Army sends us", but for us, we know that God is so involved in our everyday life, that He ordained this decision, and so, we follow Him! That choice lead us here! To sad goodbyes, heartache of loneliness, and a yearning for peace that only He can provide... The choice leads us to our knees! To the only place that I feel comforted when I am so far stretched from home! I cry when I think of friendships that I desire to reach out to, friendships that were left but not lost. Friendships that build stronger with distance, for prayer builds and does not seperate...I long for many things.. A place to call home; a place to lay my children down at night, a place where THEY feel settled. I long for a peace that surpasses understanding... I pray for it, and I wait expectantly, for I know He will answer!
Amy and me.. Our "See you later" moment!
