Don't Look Back!

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2207124/open_sms] As humans, we all fall into the temptation of dwelling on the past. Past victories and/or failures. This may be our default comfort zone, however, the Lord doesn't want us doing this. In this weeks episode I dive into why this is the case. We have a living hope and we have a lot to be expectant for. No one is saying it's easy but it's worthy of trying. So, grab a cup of coffee and let's conversate!

From Childhood Dreams to Korean Adventures (2 Years Abroad)

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2207124/open_sms] What if a childhood fascination could transform into a two-year adventure halfway across the world? This episode charts the journey from an eight-year-old's curiosity about Asia to an adult's decision to teach in South Korea. From the moment a friend's passion for Big Bang and G-Dragon sparked a deeper interest, to the meticulous planning and prayers involved in making the dream a reality, each step is filled with a mixture of excitement and hurdles—including a memorable 22-hour layover in the Middle East. The first year in South Korea was a whirlwind of friendships and explorations. Listen in as I recount the heartwarming encounter with a kind Korean woman on an escalator, the chaotic yet exhilarating arrival at the airport, and the comfort of hearing English when least expected. Amidst the initial challenges of adjusting to a "ghetto" apartment, lifelong bonds were formed during orientation, leading to extensive travels across South Korea and the joy of making international friends.  Living abroad comes with its unique set of challenges, from the thrill of seeing snow for the first time to grappling with the cultural pressures of South Korea's perfectionist society. This episode delves into the mental health struggles that many expatriates face and underscores the importance of a strong support system and personal faith. Reflecting on my own relationship with Jesus, I share how it has been instrumental in navigating these difficulties. Wrapping up the episode, I encourage you to trust in the Lord’s plan for your dreams and goals, sharing personal experiences of faith's transformative power and a message of gratitude and excitement for the future. So grab a cup of coffee and let's conversate. Instagram: @woodstockcrackle Email: manoahplaceofrest@gmail.com
