Peace Like a River

I know that I have been horrible at updating this, but I promise to do  more in the future, especially since I am now in Anseong, S.Korea!!!

So I have a lot to catch up with, but can't really at the moment, because I am prepping for class. But I did want to put in a little tidbit about peace.

Yesterday was my first full day in Korea, and I spent the day at my school, meeting people and learning how the day runs. Shopping and other activites were also done (like a pretty expensive dr's appointment. ugh). All in all, I learned a lot of information over the course of the day.



And as I sat in my classroom at the end of the day, I was thinking about the fact that it would soon be filled with students who barely spoke my language. And I was supposed to teach them. But I don't have nervousness or anxiety about my first class. Strangely, I have a firm peace about the situation.

Peace...that's my indication that I am where God wants me to be right now. And I know that things might get rough, or definitely will get rough at some point in the year, but I am at peace. I'm looking forward to meeting all of my students, and seeing them grow and improve in their grasp of the English language. I'm looking forward to making many Korean friends and getting to experience the culture around me. I'm looking forward to seeing where God is going to grow me in this next year. And I have peace.

And as I sit here in my classroom, getting everything ready for the day, listening to the many students run through the halls (and saying hi to the many who peek their head in my classroom door), I am excited, unbelievable excited to start my day. It's going to be amazing, and I know that God is going to continue to give me this awesome sense of peace.

Peace is joy resting. Joy is peace dancing.

I have both :)
