A Preview of

Finally here

I've been in Korea for about two days now, and there's just so much that's already happened that I can't organize my thoughts right now to even begin to tell you everything. I'm gonna take my camera with me when we go out tonight, so once I get some pictures, I'll get you guys updated. And trust me, it'll be a long one because I feel like I've already been here for a month with all of the stuff I've already experienced. It's been very difficult in many ways, but it's also been so exciting and fun that I'm very glad I'm here right now. Aight, that's it for right now, many, many, many more details to come.

Some thoughts before leavinng

I officially have less than a week before I leave for South Korea. And I’m starting to get nervous. Real Nervous! But I’ve been excited for so long about this, and never really nervous about it, so I guess it’s only fitting that the nervousness is finally kicking in.

I’m sitting in my den with my new laptop watching my #2 movie of all time: “Millennium Mambo.” One of the things I like so much about this film is that it’s all about this girl leaving her bad situation, and struggling to find a new life. Now don’t get me wrong, I love it in Philly. I always have. I’m going to miss it so much. I’m going to miss my family, my friends, my work, my school, everything. But at the same time, a see a bright future ahead of me and I’m trying to take hold of it.

At this point, I really couldn’t justify staying in Philly. I don’t want to get into the film industry at this point in my life (maybe later). And there’s no other jobs I’d want to have in the area. I also don’t want to keep living with my parents (even though their great), but I couldn’t afford to just rent an apartment right now either. So this job in Korea seems like the best thing for me right now.

And more than anything else, I know it will force me more than ever, to rely on God. It already has in so many ways. I’ve had a lot of hassles trying to get everything worked out for this trip, and it’s made me just totally rely on Christ to get me where he wants me to go. And I’m ready. I’m ready for a change.

But I will need everyone’s prayers! I know this job will challenge me in ways like never before, and I’m sure at times I’ll be incredibly home sick. That’s why I’ll need all the support I’ll get. Please pray that I like my job and am halfway decent at it. Pray that I find a good church there. And pray that I stay strong in Christ and represent him well wherever I go.

Here’s a pic I took with my “new camera J ” of some great guys I’ve spent this summer with. I’m excited to post many more pictures with new friends I make when I get there, and hopefully with old friends as well that I meet up with in Seoul.

What this blogs about

Hey guys, just wanted to let you all know that this blog will consist of pictures, videos, and hopefully many exciting stories for me to tell. I'll definitely get a video of my apartment, since that is like the thing to do on youtube (So many videos of people's aparmtents in Seoul). I'm so close guys to leaving it's scary.

Time for a change

Alright, this blog will be dedicated to my stay in South Korea. Hopefully you guys will enjoy reading this and keeping in touch with me!
