Meaning of " knowing"


What really means that you know something about it? Today's Rev. Bill's sermon reminded me a conversation with one of my friends. We shared one day about this real meaning of "knowing". We say lots of times " I know that". However, I question myself "do I really know it?" For example, if I know about that we need to exercises for our health, but do not exercise, it means I do not know the meaning exactly. Do you get my point? If we know something but not believe or follow it, it is not truly known by us. As same thing, we know that God loves us deeply and forever. However, we doubt and act like we do not know. It means that we really do not know. We can't say we know about it unless we truly act on it. It is tricky to explain but somehow true. I think that I assume that I know stuff but really.... I do not know them well enough to follow as knowledge. I have thought about it since this morning, what if I do everything what I say I know truly everyday then, what will happen? I must have been in good shape first of all in everything. I would eat only "good food", would exercises properly, sleep regularly, be done my dissertation, love always, pray in every moment, be gentle to everyone and so on. I really do want to follow at least a couple of things for sure that I know in truth and do action. I will try to do my best to keep my word that I say "I know."

Welcome May~!!


I can't believe that it is already May!!!

I love May. In Korea, May is the most beautiful season of all. All the festivals are held in May and lots of people get married too. Also, there are children's day on 5th, and parents' day on 8th. Also, Teacher's day is on 15th. Children get a special present from their parents and schools and it is a holiday. We give a carnation corsage for our parents on Parents' day. All parents wear the corsage on their left chest. I used to make them for my parents and grandparents. I remember that my dad wore them proudly to his work at the university. We also give the same corsage to our teachers on 15th. We consider our teachers as our parents. We give our respect. I still send a card to my teachers on that day. I miss them so much!!

I will make a beautiful corsage for my mom this year. I am so happy that she is here in May. Having a mom is the best feeling of being loved ever. I am just so thankful that I have had great parents and being loved abundantly. Let's have a wonderful month of May filled with love, joy, and peace!
