"Lord... give me the gift of faith to be renewed and shared with others each day. Teach me to live this moment only, looking neither to the past with regret, nor the future with apprehension. Let love be my aim and my life a prayer." ~Roseann Alexander-Isham

Can I take that back

Wow, I can not believe that as of today I only have 3 weeks left before I leave for Seoul. I am starting to have my last in things. For instance, last night was my last closing shift at REI.

Also, I thank God that inspite of myself He still continues to bless. The other day I had the best day ever at work. The best part was helping a customer who was leaving to go to Russia with his church for the next two years. I also got to wait on two people moving to China. One was a missionary from my church. And then the last part was helping a man who is a part of a ministry here. The connections and people that God brings into our lives and at the moments He allows them to happen are incredible.

I am also starting to get excited, but you all know me, I am also thinking a lot about things.

So that brings me to another thought that has been on my heart for over the past week. Ever do something stupid (girls, the girls stupid something)? Well I did and I would love to take it back but it is way too late. Why is it that I sometimes feel I need to do something about things instead of just leave them be? I know this will most likely never change in me, so I guess I should accept the fact that I will continue to do stupid things that I wish I could take back. Praise God that it pertains more to phone messages and emails, than my spoken word.

Today I get to spend the afternoon with a student,Christian, of mine and his mom from this past year. They have a connection with Korea. Christian actually taught me to say hello, good-bye, and thank-you in Korean. We are going to go to lunch and a Korean market. I can not wait to learn even more today about where I will be spending my next year.
