Exodus 15:2
"The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him."
Well, I know the miracles that God has performed for us this week may not seem as big as those that he performed for the nation of Israel as he brought them out of Egypt. But I feel exactly the same way that they felt as they sang this song to God after he had brought them through a very tough time. And so, this blog is just to tell you all that God is good and we want to publicly praise Him for being GOOD!
Eric and I have had a very busy, rough, stressful week (actually 3 weeks but this week was the pinnacle). With teaching, many soccer practices and games, Bible Study, grades being due, and Parent/Teacher conferences all coming to a head this week, we were pretty stressed out. BUT... God was so good to carry us through and give us strength. So we want to give Him the glory for that. It was not by our own strength but by His mercy and might. Praise God!
Quick update on our school: We have been told that the final decision on our school certificate will come down to us by this Friday. Hopefully this is true this time but we are very positive and hopeful that by this time next week we will be celebrating. Please continue to pray with us for this situation. (And if this is news for any of you, it probably means you are not on our email update list. We try to send out a newsletter each month to those who are committed to praying for us and our ministry here in Korea. If you would like to be added to that list, just send me you email address and I will add you on!)
Quick soccer update: Through incredibly poor weather this week, both of our teams were able to come away with successes. (Which was a real pick-me-up at the end of this week.) We played in snow on Wednesday and wind/rain on Saturday. Currently the boys' team stands at 2-4 wins/loses and the girls' team stands at 3-3. This, too, is due to God's goodness and not the skill of the coaches. (Mostly the girls' coach that is) :)
Ok, so that's all I have for now. Two more weeks until Spring Break! Yay!
God Bless!
