The time is a coming

Well as most of you know I am about to leave to head back over seas to teach and inspire the youth of tomorrow, by teaching them sports. The one difference this year is that I am not going to be returning to South Korea. I loved it there, but differences of opinion and needing to get rid of my student loan have all had major influences on where I will be teaching for at least the next two years. Right now I am sitting at Culvers hamburger joint here in Overland Park. In two days I will be on a plane headed for Chicago and then Frankfurt, Germany and finally Khartoum, Sudan. I have gotten a lot of things done this summer. I had a storage unit that I have now gone through and cleaned out. I donated alot to a friends church and threw a lot out and the rest is sitting in my folks basement. I got to do a lot on this trip back to the states including Los Angeles, Kansas City and New York. Those trips were blasts. I hope to have lots more just like them. I plan on filling you in on the details of the trip later but this is just to give the heads up that I am sort of scared to leave. A lot goes through your mind in times like this. I just picked up my passport with the visa and everything, so going to Sudan is now a reality. There's always that thought that something might go wrong or Sudan found out that I am a christian and they won't let me in. But now it all looks like it is good to go. he other side of things is that I really do love South Korea and the school that I taught at there. And thoughts race through my mind to the point of if I am making the right choice. I know that I have laid everything down at Christ's feet, but the human mind takes over and tries to tell you that there are all these other situations that you really haven't thought about. But I know that I am doing what I feel called to do. As much as I have full confidence in the new p.e. teacher there I also know that the job is very tough, even more so for a young female. My hope is that I might be able to return to South Korea if all of the details work out. Right now I'll be working for a place that will allow me to pay off my student loan in 20 months. I can't believe that I will be debt free by the time my contract will be over. Other things are also in the mix and I will have more liberty to talk about those things later. But for now I welcome all prayers and thoughts as I head out into another unknown. Here is another picture from this summer. Enjoy and I'll tell you in full detail about it later.

peace out...later on
