I'm sure you've already heard... Kim Jong Il, the North Korean dictator has died! I say this with great excitement. Maybe people do not understand my excitement. I heard the new this morning and I got goosebumps. I've been secretly (and not so secretly) hoping that this man would either turn from his horrible ways or die, for a long time. My heart is so burdened for the North Korean people and their oppression.
My main purpose of being in Korea is to try to help North Koreans in some aspect. With this new bit of information my excitement grows because it means that there is possible change on the horizon! This change could be good or bad- but either way I think there has to be change! I'm hoping and praying that it will be for the better. There is always the slight chance that it could mean war for the Koreas. No one knows the thoughts, plans or ruling style of the next leader, the son Kim Jong Un.
No matter what the future may bring I am still excited. I feel like I am in the right place for such a time as this. I pray that there will not be war, or casualties. I pray that North Korea will open their borders and begin to implement freedom. I pray that the North Korean citizens will be given a better life. Food. Clothing. Freedom.
My heart is beating and bleeding for the Nation of North Korea! Please join with me in praying for its government and its people. Also pray for South Korea as they are on high alert at this moment, with total uncertainty of what will be happening in the North.
These are exciting times!
I have just returned from Cuba, where Fidel had given the reins over to Raul. Things have begun to improve for the people; there is hope in the air. The same can happen in North Korea. Lord, may this be the time!
