Embracing the future and trusting God.

I finally will be starting the teacher prep program in July of this year after being an English teacher in Korea and Hong Kong. I have sent over 3 years of teaching English. I spent a summer in Korea doing a summer camp I really enjoyed. I looked forward to the days for a change. I had a set structure I had to teach my students. I also had my own classroom. I decorated it and set the rules with the help of my camp mentor that helped on the Korean part of the camp.

I kept putting my teaching prep on hold because I couldn't find the time or things didn't work out financially. I finally got tired of the same old going around the mountain wondering what I should do with my life. I have a plan but I know as I submit my plan to God, he will establish my steps.

So this time next year, I'll be a licensed qualified teacher in the USA. Also I'll be working on computer certifications since I do spend allot of my free time on computers and Android tinkering.  It will prepare me to immigrate back into American society if I am destined to live there or will prepare me to return to Japan or Taiwan as a international teacher.

As C.S. Lewis said if a clock is wrong it's very right  to set it back to the correct time. The same applies to my life. I know I have been on a wrong path, going about things the wrong way since nothing has worked the way I thought it would in my life.

So a new beginning, going back to the basics of what fueled my passions. Start again and go forward in a clear, decisive way without distractions. I feel like I am in a hallway with things along the wall that could distract me and lead me astray. I must go forward laying aside all things that may distract me from the goal.

On a side note, my brother got married this past weekend and my nephew graduated. Being an expat abroad you often miss things, I wish I would of planned ahead and been there to see it but wasn't feasible to do that. So you must take into an account when the thought of being a forever expat comes to mind. Count the cost. I don't know if I will be a forever expat but I know God will show me the best path.
