The things that I've (Emily dizzle here) learned (or re-learned) since coming to South Korea four months ago. In no particular order...

1. I love sweet potatoes.
2. Anything with pumpkin in it is also quite tasty.
3. My arms are very weak.
   
4. I'm really not a very patient person.
5. Some days I wonder if I really married a sage.
6. God does not desire for life to be easy or comfortable, but abundant.
7. I really do like dakbokgee and kimchee
8. Heated floors are a great idea.
9. I do not always know what is best for my sisters.
10. God sustains, even when I don't think he does.
11. It is not easy to live so far from family and friends, but not impossible.
12. It really boils my britches when I hear someone say, "Wow, I could never live so far from my family- I'm too close to them." What, and I'm not close to my family?
13. Sometimes anger is the healthiest emotion to experience.
14. My husband's face smells really nice.
    
15. I'm a very prideful person, which often gets in the way of language acquisition.
16. Rude people really bother me.
17. I can make myself laugh more than anyone else can.
18. Life isn't fair, as much as I'd like some people to change, I just can't change them.
    
19. Some people just don't care if they cause another pain or tears.
20. Rationalizing sin is easy, but God's standard is perfection. Do I care enough about the person next to me to point out their sin or do I call it what it is not?
21. Fasting is a blessing, not an obligation.
22. Sometimes my sense of smell gets confused.
23. I love to be with people but I need time alone too.
24. E-mails and messages from family and friends brighten my heart more than ever before.
25. I'm used to being encouraged a lot. Now I wonder if I'm too dependent on the praises of men and lack a dependence upon God's opinion.
    
26. English is a very difficult language to learn.
27. I really do enjoy working with kids.
28. The Korean language is very difficult.
    
29. I miss running.
30. I don't really miss American food that much. There are a few exceptions of course and are as following yet not limited to- my mom's homemade noodles, Em's buns, ice cream, brownies, skim milk, Tacos Arabes, Reeces, steak, oatmeal with chocolate chips.
31. I delight in diversity and creativity.
32. I hate wearing panty hose.
33. Eating with chopsticks really isn't that difficult.
    
34. I love to ravel.
35. Airplane rides bring me great joyo.
36. I am an unique person.
37. I need to grow in discipline.
38. Sometimes I talk very fast.
39. My English skills are getting worse.
40. I like coffee, but only Korean coffee.
41. Korean pears are incredible.
42. Seth is perfectly capable of cutting hair.
43. I often have conversations in my head and I forget that I didn't actually have them with another person.
44. Sweet potato pizza is an excellent idea.
45. I pack heavier than most Koreans.
46. Global warming is BIG. Global warming is SCARY. We can't afford to just sit back and watch.
47. For the first time in my life, I actually have a need to iron. This is a smidge ironic because it is also the first time in my life that I do not have access to an ironing board.
48. Direct confrontation is not always a bad thing. Because "saving face" is extremely important in Korean culture (and many other Asian cultures for that matter) rather than bringing a concern directly to the person he/she will bring their concern to their supervisor. I can now more fully appreciate the value to dealing with an issue/problem "head-on."
    
49. I am truly blessed by my husband.
50. Yepuda means "pretty" in Korean.
