God knows the desires of my heart

It goes without saying that my nerves are still a little unsettled.  While I'm going thru the motions and daily checking the "Korea To Do List" posted on the fridge, I still don't want her to go.  There.  I said it. 

Why?  I don't know the country.  I don't know anyone there.  And I don't know who she's going with.
I want to wholeheartedly trust that she will be fine but some days are harder than others.

I started an online writing class yesterday and our first assignment was to introduce ourselves.  We then had to read and comment on our classmates postings.  Most of the comments I posted were generic.  Then I read the instructors introduction.  She mentioned that she had traveled China, Japan, and Korea for about the last 5 years.  I replied, eventually explaining Naysia's trip (not sharing my fears).

She quickly responded.  And so did other classmates.  Many of them are world travelers, and have been to Seoul.  They said all the right words, offering praise to Naysia.  They talked about sightseeing she should (and will do).  They are familiar with the university campus dorm she is staying at.  They are willing to share contact information for friends in Seoul should she get in a pickle--and will give their friends a heads up just in case she needs immediate assistance. 

Amazing that complete strangers, people that I will not meet face to face, said all the right things.  Better yet amazing that God always knows what's in my heart, can speak thru others and can soothe me.

Today we go to the post office to send off the final packet.
