Sweet Jesus

God is so sweet to you. These words from a dear friend really touched me today. It's so true. God has blessed Teaven and I so much.

We are really feeling the big transition that is coming. We really started feeling it when we told my parents about our "early" arrival and even more so when we found out that new teachers had officially been hired to replace us. It's all becoming so real that we're moving back to America and probably never going to see this place again, our first home together. This last month here is really going to be bittersweet.

Last weekend, Teaven and I had the pleasure of seeing one of our friends from America in Seoul. It was so refreshing to talk with someone from back home. We had a great time with Kat, only wish it could have been longer!
We met up with her and headed to Gyeongbokgung Palace. This was probably one of my favorite places we've been to in Korea. It was absolutely gorgeous. I was so disappointed that the weather was so nasty that day because the fall colors surrounding the palace were so breathtaking. 

Then, we headed to Itaewon for dinner and shopping. We were there for Halloween weekend, so naturally, we had to by these cute headbands. We ate at a delicious Indian restaurant, then walked around shopping for souvenirs. At one point, a man came yelling down the street about how people need to know Jesus. Then he pointedly looked at the three of us, and said, "Do you love Jesus?" When we all nodded and said yes, he quickly replied, "Good. See you later in Heaven." and walked away. We all agreed that anger probably isn't the best tactic, but his parting line was hilarious!

During our time together, the topic was brought up about how Kat's house in Killeen would be available to rent this month. When she offered it to us, we were both a little taken aback. Could this be a God-thing? (of course!) Up to this point, our plan was to go back and live with my parents until we could find something more permanent.   The only drawback of that plan is my older sister and her kids are currently living there as well while their house is being built in San Antonio. So, Teaven and I would be taking up space that really wasn't there. Isn't it amazing how perfect God's timing is? After some prayer and consideration, Teaven and I felt that this was the direction God was taking us (and if definitely doesn't hurt that her house is gorgeous!) We are so thankful for her generosity and truly blessed to have been able to spend time with her!

So, you see? God has been sweet to us. When I feel that sudden inkling of worry or doubt creeping into my mind about this move, I am sweetly reminded that he is in control. He has already provided so much for us, and it seems that he likes to give us these surprises to remind us that he will continue to do so.
