Hi guys,
I don't know if you remember the friend that I brought to Friends' Night, named Young, from the library at Hope. He was the one who got all of the PMC category questions right when even we didn't know, haha :D Anyways, he's leaving next week to go into the Korean military for his mandatory 2 year service. He's not exactly the military type, and he's much older than most of the guys who go into the military, so he'll probably have a pretty hard time. I just want to ask if you guys could remember to pray for him occasionally over the next few weeks... and years. Thanks :D

God's Timing
Alright so, thanks for praying for me about the American Friend Coordinator position, but unfortunately, I didn't get it. I had a really hard time the past three weeks, and a lot had to do with that position. I waited for a week longer than the employer said it would take to get back to us, which means my Spring Break was riddled with extreme stress and anxiety. I could barely sleep all week and stayed home most of the time. Then my parents were hounding me to be more responsible, but I was too stressed and anxious to follow through, which led to more hounding. Anyways, last Tuesday, I finally got the email that I hadn't gotten the position. Needless to say I was pretty crushed. It only added insult to injury that the person who did get the position is one of the only people on campus that I actually thought of as a pretty good friend. It gave me some pretty negative thoughts and I've been trying to deal with them this week. Anyways, this whole debacle has forced me to think about God's timing.
I know that God's timing is usually different than our timing. I know that I want to have things happen for me, success falling into my lap, all right now. I'm very impatient with life. Thus, through this I'm trying to understand that God knows what is best for me and He has a plan already. He knows when and where I'll be best used for His Kingdom, and maybe that's not next semester in the American Friend Program.
So anyways, I'd like for you guys to pray for me that I can listen and be ready for God's plan when His time comes.
Thanks.

Greetings from Florida!
HELLO EVERYONE!
Just here to bring a news update from me to you. :3
DTS is amazing. Think of our church retreat during August, except for 5.5/6 months.
This is a community of peoples from many different nations (S. Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ireland, Scotland, S. Africa, many different states, etc), cultures, denominations; this is a place where we can all come together from all these different backgrounds, all seeking God. It's really amazing.
It's a great place to learn as well. Yes, there are differences in what each may believe is acceptable/etc, but we don't focus on differences to judge each other, but instead come together, despite our differences, as a united body of Christ. This is a part of why I think this place is so amazing. Multicultural, interdenominational seekers of God. :3
I'm learning a lot as well. Lots of valuable information that's been helping shape my relationship with God, to understand the lines between religion and that relationship, working together in a group, etc. A big thing that I enjoy around here is the opportunity to serve. I serve my room/housemates by cooking/cleaning. I serve the church with community responsibilities, like food prep, church cleaning, etc. I am so glad to be here with all these people who are seeking God.
During our first small group, we had a 'large' group kind of meeting and shared our testimonies. The things I learned was amazing. Truly never judge a book by its cover. You may be a good judge of character, and think you know them, but there are so many things that shaped who that person was, what they went through, it's just amazing that we're all not just messed up rejects of society. It's so encouraging too, that God would use such broken people like us, that he has called each of us to know Him, to have that relationship with Him, and that He would use us to do His work.
I had previous stated that my outreach was Morocco, but it looks like that may change due to the current situations in there [some people were kicked out, etc] and our contact group there is asking for a super small group to go only, since a group of 15-20 westerners coming into a muslim country is TOTALLY not suspicious, AT ALL. ;d
All we know is that it's going to be a muslim country in North Africa. :d
I'm excited. :d
I pray that things are going well with you, that you are seeking God, and that you would not lose faith or trust in the one who is always faithful. :3
PS: Someone tell Danny T that I'm well, and that I didn't forget or ignore him, it's just I didn't have internet until now (one hour at the library XD), and I still don't know his email. :3
