I'm a big fan of numbers. They're universal and understood. They may be a little misleading at times, but they more often than not are concrete and something to hang your hat on.
We have 5 weeks left in South Korea. We have been here for 115 weeks. Our time here is almost 96% in the past.
It is a little bit sobering and astonishing as well. To say our time here has been great would be an understatement. Everything we have done and experienced here has been such a blessing. The best blessing of all was being able to do it together.
Lauren and I have been married for 947 days, 805 of those days with our home in Korea. In other words, we've spent 85% of our married life abroad.
Not a huge percentage of people choose to move to another country shortly after being married. Not many people get the opportunity to work side by side with their spouse. Maybe it isn't for everybody. But for us, it has been perfect.
God has blessed the us tremendously by granting us the opportunity to live and work together in a foreign land. Our marriage bas benefited from this in countless ways. We were better able to focus our attention to the needs of each other, rely on one another deeply, and develop a strong foundation for our lives ahead. Only God knows what the future will bring, but with 100% confidence in him, we have no need to worry.
