Update:
So.....I have to move out of my home-stay by 2/29~ I was always afraid that this might happen all along...and what's worse is that the mom hasn't even told Sophie! (she told me not to say anything either). She will really be sad when she hears the news....=(
I'm learning to look more to the word and finding comfort in that- but it's hard. I sometimes just want to run home to my parents and cry in their arms. But I know that I'm in Korea for a reason and that God is really refining me during this time. I am actively looking for jobs and housing!!! I luckily have somewhere to go but its only temporary and I'd rather not move again in a month- I have A LOT of stuff!
PTL- I did get a small part time job last Friday doing phone tutoring via skype. The hours and pay are very low but at least it's something for now. My hours will hopefully increase soon!! I got the job because the previous person had to immediately go back to the US due to a family emergency and they were desperate! =p
GOD WILL PROVIDE~
From Spurgeon- 2/12:
It is a blessed thing, that when we are most cast down, then it is that we are most lifted up by the consolations of the Spirit. One reason is, because trials make more room for consolation. Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation. God comes into our heart—He finds it full—He begins to break our comforts and to make it empty; then there is more room for grace. The humbler a man lies, the more comfort he will always have, because he will be more fitted to receive it. Another reason why we are often most happy in our troubles, is this—then we have the closest dealings with God. When the barn is full, man can live without God: when the purse is bursting with gold, we try to do without so much prayer. But once take our gourds away, and we want our God; once cleanse the idols out of the house, then we are compelled to honour Jehovah. "Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord." There is no cry so good as that which comes from the bottom of the mountains; no prayer half so hearty as that which comes up from the depths of the soul, through deep trials and afflictions. Hence they bring us to God, and we are happier; for nearness to God is happiness. Come, troubled believer, fret not over your heavy troubles, for they are the heralds of weighty mercies.
