Hey world out there.... well, world in my computer anyways...
Right now I dont want to work, and I have already just re-organized the english zone and went outside... (but i got caught outside... ms.lee gave me a funny look).. so I am back at my desk, brain wanting to bleed in the process.
Ok, so this week.
Its been a pretty decent week. Work wise its been a good week. I had no classes to teach due to exams. I was able to spend the whole week planning 16 lessons for my extra class that is this month, as well as beginning the process for my winter camp, which is 20 lessons as well. At least the winter camp is fun.
So this week I have been able to get ahead in my work. and just focus all day on the planning, without the interuptions of classes, which usually make me lose my train of thought :P
So social life this week.. well I took a break actually.. stayed at home with Kay.. relaxed, slept a lot...
Tonight, (friday) I am going with a lovely group of people for Dinner (McDonalds) and then we are going to see a movie (Twilight) and then out for drinks. I am pretty stoked about dinner and a movie... and leaning towards getting a coffee at starbucks and drinking that instead of alcohol.
The Saturday is going to be another subway and shopping trip. This time I will be with people :P so hopefully I will not get lost this time... oh man, good times. I also have my camera back in working order, so that is good, So there will be picture from this weekend. We are going to hit up Insadong, the tourist area, and then the area where a lot of Western shops are. So that will be cool :)
Kay is doing great. Getting super active and busy and cuddly too... less eating of my hair.. but still constantly wanting to be with me. She has major attachment issues :P
So now I dont know what to write... There are so many thoughts in my head right now again. Like why am I here.. why did I choose Korea. oh, yeah, to make money. But right now I want to be somewhere else where they need me. Where I dont go out and shop and still am surrounded by so much consumerism. Part of me feels like I am not making a difference here. I know I am.. really I do. The kids love me lots, and I am working.. and I am supposed to be here, because there is so much happening to me.
But I miss the Christian community. I miss just being able to talk about my faith without being laughed at. Or being able to tell the bible stories that I love... or working with youth... and caring for others in the way that Christ calls us to.
Guess my calling to Ministry is picking up again. There are reasons like that for why I am in Korea.
Now the question is.. am I called to the mission field? What is my calling after this year. I may have 9 more month here... but sometimes answers take a while. and this is a prayer thing that is HUGE. A huge life decision. And it would definatly change EVERYTHING that my life is right now.
The great thing is that my parents will be here in about 55 days :) and then I can talk to them about this, and actually get vocal feedback, instead of thinking about this all the time in my head.. or typing....
Well thats my update for now

hey Mel...good thoughts. thanks for sharing about the big choice. you could start by trying to figure out exactly what it is you mean when you think of "mission field""...I've learned it's way broader than we think. or how we all say doing "ministry work", just what is that limited to? I'll be praying...
