I almost lost it again tonight and it actually felt like I did for a while. Nothing to do with work, today actually was a great day at work and a good start to the week. I am actually starting to enjoy teaching and doing my job more and more! Great news!

It wasn't the weather either or that it is really starting to get cold. Apparently it was even lightly snowing here in Seoul tonight for a while and it feels like 22 degrees Fareinheight. But I am not turning on my heat yet!

No, those are not the reasons. We all know what I value a lot in my life right now is that I have a computer here in Seoul and I have the internet in my apartment. It keeps me busy, entertained, and it allows me to feel connected with everyone back in the States somewhat. Plus I talk to my parents online usually at least once a day, which is nice to have. Well tonight my computer froze like completely froze and I thought it was broke or a virus had got to it. I sat here in disbelief and started to really feel sad and cry. (Yeah, it takes a man to admit he cried because he thought his computer broke and that means no more internet.) And then I thought you know I am trying to get off it more and actually enjoy Seoul more than I already am and make myself get out more than I already am. I thought hm maybe God is really making me rely on Him because the internet could be kind of a crutch for me sometimes. So, I seriously was trying to see the positive about it and very mad that I was grieving so much about this problem. I thought people made it in other countries without the internet and being able to chat with people everyday back home, I need to too and trust God for everything! So I prayed for a while and read the Bible a bit and then went to bed. I unplugged the computer and decided well I'll let the battery die and then turn it back on to see what happens. So I did that and turned it back on and it is working again! I am not sure what the problem was but I am hoping it doesn't happen again, but I am a little worried about my computer now. Everyone say a prayer for my computer! I survived and will be okay.
