So let's talk about community. Specifically biblical community.  I miss it.

The Lord has brought me to a fantastic Church here in Seoul, Jubilee Seoul Church, but if I am honest, EVERY single Sunday is more painful than joyful, because my heart misses the community at August Gate. Even this morning, my prayer was that the Lord grow me in community here, and lessen the longing for the things that had to be sacrificed to obey God and move to Korea. I feel like I finally have an inkling of understanding regarding Paul always writing about longing to see believers whom he left behind.

I am well aware building community can take time, but the void and lack is so very obvious and present that my heart strives to fill it. Pray for patience and wisdom as I join with a new community. That I would abide in the Lord's leading on where to serve and what small groups to join.

And to AG folks, Y'ALL can text me! My American phone number is still active and should not cost you anything beyond the ordinary because it is a local US number... if that changes, I will make sure to say so... but for the foreseeable future it does not cost a thing to contact me, even just to say hello.

And on the rare and off chance you are in Seoul and attend Jubilee; find me and say hello.
