The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord.
-Proverbs 16:33
That’s my favorite scripture in the Bible. I’ll have to expand on it another time. The basic premise is that I acknowledge God is in control and I only have the illusion of control.
I just finished working out. I was unable to work out for almost five weeks due to my two daughters being sick. They took turns being sick and I wanted to support my wife as much as I could.
Hyeyoung was gracious to allow me to have my work out and a little time for me to reflect and write.
My church celebrates spiritual birthdays (the day we were baptized). My wife turns 12 today spiritually. I turned 12 last week (12/9). I had totally forgotten in the beautiful chaos called parenthood.
Typically on my spiritual birthdays I try to spend an extended amount of time (a couple of hours) reading the Bible, reflecting, and writing.
I have about fifteen minutes before I need to get home. I can’t focus right now, but I want to write.
I’m hungry. I’ve been eating earlier at 11:15am, because we are rotating staff in the IT office. I have one protein shake at 1pm. Now I am famished. This coffee shop, Tiamo, has baked goods and ice cream. A bunch of Korean ladies walked in and its gotten much louder.
I was hoping to provide some kind of deep insight in this blog post. I am so unfocused and I need to just get all these random thoughts out of my head.
I don’t think I will be getting any more work done or thoughts through.
I need to take up the offer of people at the Seoul International School community who have graciously offered to watch our kids for short periods of time. I don’t know exactly where to start.
I’m running on empty on brain juice.
God bless. I’ll have to write a better reflection post later.
PS. I was experimenting with Peter Hurley’s “squinching.” It’s supposed to make you look more confident. Due to my Asian eyes I don’t think it really works very well for me. I may just need some more practice.
