"Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37 v 4
So when I arrived in the little village of Shingae-ri, to teach at a small private English school, I didn't know a soul on the Asian continent. But luckily these two people, my teaching colleague Natalie and her husband and IT-fundi Dave, were there to show me around, teach me the ropes and be my sanity in the crazy Korean adventure. Hailing from the Mother City in South Africa, the Stevens' couple are some-what unconventional, but entirely God-centered and two of the most awesome people you could ever get to know.
So Natalie and Dave have been trying to get pregnant for four years...and its finally happened, here in Korea! On Friday, the doctor confirmed that Natalie is four weeks pregnant. 29 March 2008 is the expected date. So Natalie is glowing at work (but apparent feeling wretched this weekend...) and Dave is floating so high he needs to be anchored down with a rope. You can see them holding the photos of the bundle of cells that is the beginning of their baby.
So Nats and Dave are leaving my school at the end of the month but I know wherever they go next, God will bless them for being such a shining example to everyone around them - and to me. And I recon its going to be one helluva kid.
