I’ve returned to America for a month-long visit and will be updating from March. Bare with me as there is a ton of new stuff to add. Feel free to poke around the old blogs and read the new ones. There are A LOT!

*******************************************************

In 2008 I participated in a cultural exchange program with a university in East Asia. I enjoyed my time and really came to love the culture and the people, so much so that I decided to come back for a whole year! Now that I have completed my first year, I decided to stay for yet another year – so the adventures continue.

You are invited to join me in the adventures that come with readjusting to a completely different culture and all the drama that this life holds.

Things I’ve Learned

As I have had much free time on my hands during the semester break, I have been reflecting on the journey that I have been on for the past several years. Some things I would glad go back and take a redo, others I remember fondly, but my overall impression is that I wouldn’t change a thing because it would change who I have become and perhaps even alter my location in the world. Some of my following statements may come as a surprise to some of you, but there is truth in them all and above all, there is grace.

1. Left to my own devices, I am truly evil.
2. It is not enough to hear about what it is written in the letters from home, we must read them ourselves. This is how we grow and this is our source of power.
3. There is nothing scarier or more exhilarating than stepping out to follow your father
4. There is great joy in talking to Dad
5. We are so blessed to be in America and to have the freedom to speak freely and openly. We need to take advantage of it!
6. Dad is good. Dad is faithful. Dad provides.
