God is so Good and Moving!

Here's a bit of an update.


Sorry it's been a while but here's whats been going on...as some of you may know i've been having issues with paperwork haha I got my Fbi background check after like 4 months of not having it and though i asked them to internationally authorize it, they didnt. I took it up to Denver but they told me that they cannot aurthoize it there but that it has to be authorized in Washington DC. *ugh...and yes i cried* that was the 6th of this month. I asked the ladies what i should do but they told me that i would have to figure out how to get it to Washington and then i could have to have someone to walk it in but it would cost about 100+ to get someone to take it in for me and that it would take about 2-4 weeks...which i dont have that kind of money to spend or the time to be honest. SO i FedEx-ed it to Washington that next day the 7th which was a Thursday. And so I waited. . . . . then the following Wednesday i was rushing from work to church and got my Bible which was by my laptop and there sitting on my laptop, was a FedEx envelope!!! God did what was seen as impossible in the eyes of man and our government....He got my paperwork authorized in less then a week!!!! with two days of travel so in FOUD DAYS!!! How amazing!!! Ah!! And so I sent it off to Korea this last Friday the 16th and it's already there, recieved and being processed!!! YAY!!!


So what's next?


1. Get Visa # from KOrea
2. Do Korean Consulate interview *Please pray that i don't have to go to San Francisco to do it but that i can do it over skype or the phone*
3. Get Ticket
4. GO TO KOREA!!! YAY!!!


as of yesterday it's either a month or a month and a week till Korea :Dthe countdown has started :D

How God's Growing Me!!!

I'm learning more and more to trust God and how to lean on Him. I've never really understood how to get there but I'm getting there. it's like letting go. Like if any of you have been white water rafting you will understand. Its like being being tossed out of ur boat into the ragging waters. Self preservation and all that is logical screams to your body to BREATH! Hold on to something, ANYTHING! Swim back to the boat!! Fight the raging waters and do what you must because YOU can do this, YOU have to. That is what one's life is one your own. That is what i've been doiing for most of my life, fight the raging waters, ignoring the fact that I have the blessing of a life vest strapped over my heart...I've tried goiing it alone and tried making my life whatever i thought that it needed to be but i was wrong haha. 

its taken a while to realized this but the safety, my very Savior has been waiting and strapped to my chest.He's been waiting for me to finally let go, to finally allow HIM to work and do what I need Him most to do :) I've been told by so many to let go and let God but I didnt understand how to do that. Even the guides tell each person in their boat if you happen to get knocked out of the boat, relax, keep breathing and do NOT try to hold onto anything, but to make sure you go down feet first and allow the water to carry you to safty. this is what ti means to trust and lean on God. We must trust that God will keep us aflowat in our darkest and hardest times. We must trust that God will keep our head above water and now matter how hard it becomes we just must allow God to carry us through. as long as we keep our eyes on God and our heart in the right place, God will carry us through. We CANNOT do it on our own strength.

I'm also realizing  how much God loves us and that the depth of his love for us is so much more then anyone could ever imagin...or anything we think we know best. If we do think it's the best then we are sadly mistaken because even our  greatest and most amazing dream and greatest thought is nothing  compared to the wonderful and breathtaken plan God has for us...not to say tha there wont be hardships and sad time but the sadest  times will be less sad with the Great Comforter at your side and the hardest and darkest tiems wont be without hope and light because God is there.

These are just somet stuff i'm beginning to realize more and mroe :) I love you guys and greatly appriciate who you are :D

My God is Bigger ^_^

So I went up to Denver Yesterday to get some stuff authorized internationally Authorized and well I found out that though i had asked the FBI to do that...they didn't and up in Denver they are not allowed to do it anymore :( Soooo i was kinda at a loss and really hopeless on the hour drive home because it felt like this was the end. But u know what?! God is bigger then Paper work :D and time :D and dare I say it THE GOVERNMENT!! God has told me i will go and though i've been told it can take 2-4 WEEKS to get the authorization back I'm going to send it in today, after work and get this thing going :D I trust my God. I asked God this morning why he allowed this to happen...and this is what I got

" For faith, trust, MY timing, Honoring and leaning on me, Megan you cannot and should never to it alone. I am the one who is holding you, I am the one who is guiding and guarding you, I am the one who is providing and protecting you! Stop trying to do it on your own and without me. You will fail without me!! So RELAX and trust me. Trust that I am in control, Trusth that I am movine and working, because I AM! Trust that you will go."

For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day's demands. It is now I must make a choice. Because of Calvary, I'm free to choose. And so I choose…. I CHOOSE LOVE…No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness. I choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves.I CHOOSE JOY…I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical…the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.I CHOOSE PEACE…I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may live.I CHOOSE PATIENCE…I will overlook the inconveniences of the world. Instead of cursing the one who takes my place, I'll invite him to do so. Rather than complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a moment to pray. Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I will face them with joy and courage.I CHOOSE KINDNESS…I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. I will be kind to the rich, for they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is how God has treated me.I CHOOSE GOODNESS…I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.I CHOOSE FAITHFULNESS…Today I will keep my promises.My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My spouse will not question my love.I CHOOSE GENTLENESS…Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice, may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it only be in prayer. If I make a demand, may it only be of myself.I CHOOSE SELF CONTROL…I am a spiritual being… After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot rule the eternal. I choose self-control. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ. I choose self-control.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek His grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

My Heart for Korea

Hey Everyone!!! I was talking with someone and they told me that I should really express my heart for Korea and what God is doing :D soooo here goes


Well I started when i was hearing about south korea through my school MidAmerica Nazarene University my freshman year. i've always throught that it would be fun but I wasnt highly sold on it. I mean it was something that i've kept in mind but it was in the back of my mind. it wasnt till Junior year that God was beginnig to tell me that I needed to go to korea and really plan, think but mostly pray about it. That's when i studied abroad in Germany and God told me that this would not be the last time I went over seas. Since then i've had such a pssion to go to korea and teach english.


When i go to Korea i'm really hoping and praying to go be able to get connect to an orpahage and be able to greatly help those around me, those who are overlooked. God has always given me a heart for the overlooked and for orphans. Ever since the loss of my mom and since my dad wasn't around, i felt very alone for a while and so i believe that I will be able to understand and be able to i think connect with those who have lost so much and even more then that God is so passionate about eveyone I hope and pray that I will  be able to shower HIS love on them. I don't want to become so famous person though.I pray that my face isn't remembered but that God's love is :D


I know that I know that I know that this is where I am supposed to go. I haven't told many people this but I have spoken with the Asia-Pacific regional director and He wants me as a commioned missionary and teach english to people all over the world. I do not know where I will be with this but God has made it very clear that his is the next step in my life! I'm so happy to see how God is moving and working!!


It is hard though because as of right now there is no way that I can do this, without God!!! And hoenstly i like it that way!! countless times God has worked and moved and showen me His hand and guidence! When I went to North Dakota and was a Youth Pastor for a summer, going back year after year for school at MNU, being able to go to Germany to study abroad. Each and every time in my life there was no way I could do it without God and honestly i like it that way because I don't want to do it in my own strength because then i rely upon myself and not God! And so it is this time and I know that God will come through. I am working as much as i can right now to do my part because I know that God will help me through. And so i'm working 3 jobs and taking Korean and trying my hardest to learn to trust God. I know that He will put me exactly where He wants me exactly when He wants me there. God's timing is not our timing but His timing is Perfect!!!!


I know that wherever i end up going I will be in God's will because God is already there! The Lord has begun to give me and show me that passion that HE has for this world and all the people in it!!! God is loves eveyone so much ans has begun to shower me with tha hope and love ^_^ I would greatly appricate your love, support, and prayers!!! that's the only way i will be abe to accomplish anything, not in my own strength but in God's alone!!!!

And So It Begins :D

So I've decided that I will start posting of how life is going right now in preparation of Korea and what God is doing and how He is working and all. :) 


right now I'm working three part time jobs right now, Bath and Body, Chick Fil A and I sit with a wonderful older lady on Sunday afternoons. I have been getting more hours recently and I am a little burned out by it but still very blessed. I am still taking Korean Saturday mornings and understanding more and more. I can write a good amount but reading takes a while.


God has been doing a great deal in my life right now. I am learning more and more to trust God and where He is taking me and who He is creating me into. It's a beautiful thing but still hard. I am meeting with God daily and usually a few times a day. I love it God is teaching me love and so much hope. I am seeing how God sees everyone and how much love He has for us!! it's amazing!! He's so passionate about us!! He sees our faults and the hardships that we have gone through and all the bad choices that we have made but He loves is sooo much more then we can imagine!! ah! it's so wonderful.


I have been waiting for the FBI paper work to come in so that I can get my visa for Korea. I am reading about the culture of Korea as much as I can as well as trying to get back into the food and building up my immunity to the spiciness ^_^


I have been having health issues recently some of you may remember. I was having sever pains in my stomach and had had so many tests. I met with a doctor and they said that there was only about a 75% chance that it was my gallbladder and that taking it out would help. well they took it out the 7th of this month and i just found out a few days ago that after removing my gallbladder they tested it and found that there were small crystals that werent seen on any of the ultra sounds or the scans but that those are the beginnings of gallbladder disease. PRAISE GOD they took it out :D 


and so right now I am working hard, sleeping as much as i can, and keeping my eyes on God :) thanks for ur prayers i love you all so much O this pic is me and Baby Ryon :D I love this kid!!!
