Jamie in Seoul!




Jamie is visiting to Seoul!!!!  How wonderful and miraculous to find
ourselves back again together in the place where it all began!  I am treasuring each and every moment spent together as we trace our roots, connect with our culture, and share countless unforgettable memories!   

                                             
We returned together to Sung-No-Won orphanage, the place we started off.  We met with the two directors of the orphanage, who were there 29+ years ago during the time we were there.  Truly inspiring to see their love and devotion for the children... they committed their lives to serving the children... two incredibly, amazing people!


Right before being adopted to USA...

FAITH... the art of seeing things invisible

Vision
is seeing it when others don't
Faith 
is doing it when other's don't
With VISION and FAITH all things are possible!!!



Today marks the one year anniversary of when I began working with the children at Sung No Won orphanage.  I am back here...in Korea...in the place of my birth...at the very same orphanage where I began. I have many of those "caught unaware" moments when it feels so very surreal to me that I am really here!  But then again very believable for this is the very God we serve.  A MIGHTY~POWERFUL~SUPERNATURAL GOD who makes the impossible, possible.  A God who has truly reached far beyond my wildest dreams to unveil a greater dream that was planted in my heart from the time I was being knit together in my mother's womb.  I stand amazed!  

The past weeks have been quite a journey for me as I find myself in the midst a leap of faith to enter orphanage ministry.  During this time my faith been tested time and time again as I wait upon the Lord.  I am learning many things, namely greater trust for the Lord to provide in His perfect timing, not according to my time table to have it happen the way I expect.   "There are many plans in my heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails!"~Proverbs 19:21.  In this place I find I'm at total peace in God to accept whatever the outcome.  I am learning true contentment, to depend more fully upon God, rather than  my circumstances.  I believe that the Lord is going to provide without a doubt for He has brought me this far and shown me His faithfulness in countless already.  I am resting in God's love for me...a love deeper and greater than anything I could ever imagine.  

I hold on to His promises~
I move on in faith~
I wait patiently on Him~
  He will never fail me!
