What is the strongest setting you have ever encounted in your own life (the place that has impacted you the most). Describe this place and ponder if God revealed anything about Himself or His truth in this place. Well for me I have been in China most of life but on the contrary the strongest setting wasn't China. This is my second year living in Korea and I have been going through alot of things that I couldn't imagine. My strongest setting was having to survive TCIS life. Getting to know more friends, knowing the dorm rules and getting good academic grades were pretty frustrating. Well what I really learned was that with God nothing is hard.
