Background - moving to Korea

Well, I've been threatened within an inch of my life by my mother to post more often so she can keep up with me now that my husband and I have moved to South Korea.

Let me give you a little background first.

My husband called me back in October and asked me what I thought about being stationed in Korea. It was too bizarre a thought for me to process right then...so I said we'd talk about it when he got home in the evening. Well...he came home randomly in the afternoon and started talking up Korea. It was then I asked him if he only came home early to talk me into saying yes to being stationed in Korea. He's wanted to be stationed in Korea for some time and now he finally could make it happen.

I was skeptical and terrified and totally unsure about volunteering to move somewhere so foreign to anything I've experienced. I've always loved Latin American countries. I've always wanted to go to Europe. But Korea?! Wow, that was a strange thought. I had no trouble with adjusting if the Army assigned us to Korea, but VOLUNTEERING! I didn't know what to think about that...

After praying a lot about it and listening to my husband's enthusiasm and hearing his heart crying out to pursue this adventure...I realized that supporting my husband's dreams and listening to his heart matters so much more to me than staying in my comfort zone. That doesn't mean I could adjust to the idea of going to Korea in one day though! So God showed me that I'd get there eventually with accepting it in my heart, so I told my husband..."If you believe this is the right thing for us to do, make the decision and I'll support it...I'll get there eventually." 

And within 3 months...we're in Korea!!
