Ramblings and Musings

My body is retarded.



All I wanted to do all day was sleep. I finally get home, lay in bed and do you think I can sleep??

NO!

I hate being so lethargic through out the day that I can't focus on anything significant or meaningful. My only thoughts today where... "When can I go home so I can go to bed?"



And now I can't sleep. *SIGH*


ANYWAYS...



I have a busy few weeks coming up here. I have a few party's to attend. These include a couple of different **COUGH COUGH BIRTHDAY PARTY'S COUGH COUGH** a mud festival, and other assorted gatherings.


I also have to find time to go get a health check up, renew my visa, re-register as an alien (yes, I am an alien) and check out the prospects for getting a... puppy... maybe...



What do you think... good idea? Bad idea???

I WANT A PUPPY!!!



So, I'm gonna be busy. But, that's ok. I like it that way.


In other news, I got my hair cut. Yes, it looks slightly different from normal.... I have significant bangs now and drastic layerage going on... now, of course, my hair is so... silky (I say "silky" with utmost humility and modesty... I'm just being honest here) that you can hardly tell about the layers. But, I notice the difference. Mainly because the darn bangs keep getting in my eyes all the time!



Also, one of my co-teachers, Mikyeong came to Bible study with me last week. She had a fantastic time and wants to continue coming and studying the Bible. She really likes all of my friends (I told her that, yes, they were ok) and I think this whole thing will be really good for her. She told me she's been reading more of the Bible and it's helping her to settle down more and rest better. I'm so excited. I really pray that God moves in her and opens her heart!

You know, I was on a walk yesterday in my "back yard." I was listening to some Shawn McDonald (who is my favorite Christian artist) and his song "Have You Ever" was playing. It's a powerful song and it just struck me how... no matter how unsatisfied we may be with our lives; no matter what we think we want or need; the only thing that's really going to fill us, is Him. I'm sure that's why I think I want a puppy... to fill me up in some way.

I mean... I don't think owning a puppy is a bad thing... really... I'm still going to look into it... but I think the bigger issue for me; the bigger issue for us all, is that we need to be filled by Him. How often do we do that in our lives? How often do we seek Him to fulfill us instead of the world around us? I think about my day today and I can tell you, the only thing I did other than teach was stare at a computer screen or a TV screen. No wonder I'm so restless at night.

I think He's trying to get my attention!



I still want a puppy..


Ok, picture time.


Oh goodness.... this is me and Myeongsook, one of my co-teachers. She wanted my face to be closer to the camera's so that her face wouldn't look so big! Having a "big face" is a really unattractive to many Koreans and lots of people are really aware of their face size. I think Myeongsook is beautiful, but her culture doesn't like some of her attributes. So, this is me, laughing at her self-consciousness... I think I should be self-conscious now! LOOK AT THAT FACE!!!








Ok, this one's a lot better... and you can see the new hair cut too!




Alright. That's all for now. I'll write again when I have something more interesting to say! For now, thanks for listening to a bunch of rambles and musings.

Peace.
