Hey ya'll. How are you doing? I am doing REALLLLY WELL, better than the first week I got back to Korea, that's for sure!! :) As you guys may know, my first week back in Korea was VERY hard because I had spent a month at home. So, coming back took some time to re-adjust. At first, I felt depressed & unsure that this was God's will for me. But once I got back into the "swing of things," God reminded me of my passion for missions & my desire & call to spread His kingdom overseas, especially here in Korea. So here I am, back to doing what I love to do & what God has called me to do! :) Week 2......

Monday was a very strange day. I lost something .... without going into depth (some of you know what that "thing" is that I lost), I usually am sad to the point of where I can't go on without really having God carry me through LITERALLY when I lose this thing (it's happened many times before). However, because I knew it wasn't the right "thing" for me, I was able to get on QUITE easily, more easily than before! It was surprising & amazing, the grace of God that sustained me from heartache! I found myself actually praising God for this thing leaving my life! I found myself actually CONFIDENT in what God wants to do with my life from this point on, that He has a great plan for me! (Jeremiah 29:11-13) That's grace! :)

*** Monday night, my mom prayed for me. The Lord spoke to my mom & told her, "Tell Maggie that her husband will manifest soon." Tuesday, my friend Sonet prayed for me too. God told her the same thing, & that I would get married soon, & to pray for my husband to have wisdom to lead & meet me! Wednesday night at an NK meeting, someone felt the Holy Spirit's prompting & prayed for me.....God told me SO MANY things, like "You are My trumpet. I am your King & you are Esther to me, in whom I delight. People will listen to you about Me & will come to Me through you. You will wipe away the tears of the NK people. You will see the re-unification of NK & SK, personally. Your husband will be a man who fears Me & has the same calling to NK's as you. Focus on Me, keep your eyes on Me & you will find your husband. Find yourself in Me." It was so gooood to hear all of that from God!! ***

Now that I have a promise from God about my husband, it is easier to be patient & wait because I trust & know that "God is not a man that He should lie. Does He promise & not fulfill?" (1 Samuel) I also read scriptures this week in my daily devotional Quiet Time that confirmed God's promise, such as Psalms 37:4 & the story of Ruth & Boaz, & Solomon's asking God for "whatever he wanted to."

Friday night, I went to church from 9 pm - 12 am. I really felt God's touch & I wanted so much to draw near to Him. I feel this fire burning in me lately this week!! Just a hunger for more of God. I wanna draw near to Him in any way possible! At church Friday night, the pastor talked about Solomon asking God for something, just the same scripture I had read this week in my Quiet Time! He also mentioned several things God has been dealing with me with. I ALWAYS get something penetrating & life-changing at this church service! :)

I spent Friday night with my friend Sonet (awesome woman of God from South Africa), & we stayed up a bit late (sorry Mom haha), & then I ate lunch with 2 Japanese girls on Saturday (Chie & Haruka). They are not believers, but Haruka if you recall is the girl who came to my church last summer & became a Christian, but walked away from God. But GUESS WHAT?! SHE'S GONNA STAY IN KOREA FOR 2 YEARS!! I am so excited! :) I hope she will come back to Jesus in that time & I will be praying for that & spending time with her to love her like Jesus! :)

Today at church, God has opened the door for revival in our hearts. I believe God is working miracles in our hearts!! It's amazing, the power of God! :)

God also spoke to my mother when we were talking, last week & told her, "Cindy, your son 'J' will come to Me. He is right at My door. Just be patient. I will save your whole family." Then, my brother posted a video for me on Facebook that he says he thinks is a Christian song & it's one of his favorite songs (but it's a rock, secular song)...& it sings about "Save me. Lord guide me. I don't know where to go. But I'm looking for You." AMEN!! :)

We might get an Assistant Pastor (already)! My pastor was very amazed at that because she thought it was too early, & we have no money to give him (our budget is small because we're a small church). But this pastor is a student at Hansei Christian University & is studying to be a pastor & will graduate soon. He's quite young, about 32. He said he would come work for God at our church REGARDLESS of being PAYED OR NOT!! How awesome is that?! :) He's praying about coming right now! This is such a blessing & I can't wait to see what God is gonna do through this! With another pastor, we can do more ministries & do more things with our church, OUTSIDE the church as WELL as inside! :)

Last week at work, tons of my students were asking questions about God!! God is moving at my work again! :) I had 2 discussions in class with 2 different female students about God. They usually ask when we are alone.....& we were when they asked me questions. We got in depth! I was just praying that God could work through what I said! It was so good! :)

Saturday night, I watched IHOP (International House of Prayer) video here: http://www.ihop.org/Publisher/Article.aspx?ID=1000060006. There's a huge revival going on there, & people watching by internet are getting healed & delivered, & so are those at the actual IHOP building. When I watched it Saturday night, God moved in a HUGE WAY in my heart & I believe He has started an emotional/mental healing process in me again & hopefully for GOOD (I say process because it's not overnight, it can take time). It feels/felt like a HUGE LOAD has just been lifted off me now!! :)

I feel like God has put me at a new level spiritually! He is preparing me, for other things to come & for my husband (to work with him, side by side for God, some day). I feel so much more closer to Him than before....& I only wanna get even MORE closer to Him! I can't wait to see what God is gonna do in & through me!! It's my deepest desire for the Lord to do many great things for His kingdom through me ... not for my glory, but so that others may know Him & that He can receive HIS reward that HE deserves!! :)

Thanks so much for being faithful to read this weekly email, again. I enjoy hearing about your individual lives & what God is doing in & through you, & I am praying for ya'll! May God bless you tremendously this week, & keep you steadfast IN HIM!! :) Love you.

Looking forward to seeing more of God's movement,
Maggie
