We had fried green tomatoes tonight from our garden and it was WONDERFULLY YUMMY! I love eating stuff that we grew. It's free and it tastes good. I guess that's all I have to say about that.
Also, on the Blackmon front, we just had a Korea team meeting. It went really well. I feel like we're connecting well as a team and that we've been able to connect with the Lord about the camp. That is reassuring indeed. It's great to know that the Lord has His hand on things from start to finish.
Now I (with the Lord's help) need to finish the curriculum tweakage and development, pick out visual aids, make copies of them and then put them together with the team at our next meeting. I'm a good starter, but not a good finisher. If anyone actually reads this blog do me a favor and please, right now, just say, "Jesus, help her finish this!" Thank you.
So, our next meeting is in 2 weeks and then in July we'll start our training. We're all really exited about this. A couple of folks are nervous about the North Korean missile craziness, but I figure if there's a real problem our team in Korea will let us know. God's a lot bigger than some weird-o with bad hair and some missile threats.
Oh, and something that makes me incredibly happy that's not related to anything else in this post, which is perfectly logical for me since I tend toward complete randomness, a few months back the Lord very specifically let me know that I'm called to minister to His heart. I had really lost sight of that and anyway, He's opened up a door for me to do devo sets at IHOP. I loooove it because it's just about the worship. Nobody knows or cares who you are or what you look like or anything. You just sneak up there, worship in a very low-profile way and then leave. It's GREAT! It's the ideal environment for worshipping if you ask me and I am so very thankful that the Lord has shown me my niche with this. I love it, love it, love it! There's no power point to prepare, no music styles or preferences to worry about, it's just me and Jesus and that's it. Their only requirement is that you just really worship, which is what I need and want to do. It's a win-win situation. I'm actually leading a set from 10pm to midnight tonight. I'm a night-owl, so it sounds good to me...

Yay! for IHOP worship! How exciting!
I'll be (and I am) praying for you about the whole Korea thing. Is there anything we can do to help you?
Lots of love!
Thanks, Brandy! I'll keep praying for you guys, too. I hope and pray that Chloe Jane is getting better! I'm so sorry she's been sick.
The only thing that comes to mind in terms of help is (if you have time) if you guys looked over the curriculum after I finish with it and read over it with Korean kids in mind. Your feedback would be very valuable since that is a big part of what you guys do day in and day out.
I don't want to reinvent the wheel or invent a really bad one! Also, we're wanting to fill some of our teaching time with vocab games and other games that will help them learn some English words that will be useful for them. We were just going to think some up, but if y'all have ideas or vocab lists or anything that you think we'll need and you're able to send it that would be great. There's no pressure, though! I know you all have plenty to do at the moment ;) It's just what comes to mind. Love you!
No problem! We're very happy to look over the curriculum, but I'm sure it will be great! As for games, Brandon knows more about that than I do; so I will ask him about it and have him email you. Blessings!
