Sometimes I look at my life and think--what we do, the kind of life we live-- it's just not normal! :) What kind of mom takes her kids to another country for the day? Saturday I took the girls to Korea to renew our visas. I had been dreading this trip for quite some time. Since Jim is in the US, his visa will be renewed there. But ours expired yesterday. Or so I thought. The night before our trip I realized I had miscalculated the 90 days, and it actually expired on Friday. The worst case scenario I could imagine was that they would cancel my visa and require me to apply for another one in Korea... which would take days. A fine, a signed confession I can handle. But an unplanned stay in Seoul with the girls by myself... I was freaking out a bit.
Thankfully that's not the kind of faith God asked of me yesterday. Albiet a long and exhausting day, the most traumatic event was the loss of Kathryn's new purple Barbie tumbler. He even provided another mom I know who was making the same trip by herself with her kids too! For the 6 hours in the Seoul airport between flights, the kids were fairly self-entertaining. Thank you Lord for your care for us!
My favorite quote from our trip:
Kathryn, angrily: "Mom, these crayons should be labeled undurable, undisciplined, and uncooperative!"
