There have been a number of tornados more than usual in the States during this Spring; They caused endless devastated stories, missing people, dead people, and destroyed lives. While reading those news, I have searching for reasons; really reasonable reasons. Well, I could find some articles from neurologists saying about cold air and warm air and so on, but it did not give me acceptable reasons to believe. I wanted to have reasons that lead to us to some kinds of clearly of why and what for beyond surface. Some people said that bad things happen without reasons. However, as I have read and read, I could not deny that God is the one all beyond those things. Just we don't know why. We might not know and understand until the end because we are not God. Sometimes, we make God as we want Him to be. We know that He is love. His love endures forever. However, I would like to ask what that phrase means. We might not understand His deep love toward us. I still could not understand why He let Jesus came to the earth in a manger that no one noticed, and why He let Jesus to be suffered so badly. Can you understand? I can't. He loves us that much and I honestly could not understand why He loves us that much. We are sinners who always are ready to betray Him. But still... He loves us. That must be a mystery and could not be solved as human being.
Even though we face many tragedies and un-acceptable cases, He is Alpha and Omega that we can't understand.

Welcome May!
I know.... I haven't been writing since February! We already passed Lent, and Easter and now, we are in May!
May is one of my favorite months of a year: in fact, May is called a Queen of the Months. May brings memory of deep fragrance of roses that I used to have in the yard at my parents' house. My grandma planted five different roses for each family members in my household. Mine was a black rose with deep redish strong one. One of my chores at home was watering plants in the afternoon. We had more than 100 pots of plants with flowers, orchards, and unknown plants. Grandma taught me how to water them with kind words like " you are a beautiful flower! grow well!"while I was watering them. Somehow, I was really good at it and enjoyed a lot. In month of May, those roses started blooming crazy. As you all know, the roses are not easy plants to grow: they need lots of care especially dealing with a little bugs. However, they smell gorgeous as they look. I also enjoyed pull a big thorn and put on top of my nose being a rhino. :) What a good memory!
May is also called a family month in Korea: there are children's day on 5th, parents' day on 8th, and teacher's day on 15th. We made carnation cosages to put on our parents' chest on the parents' day. Even though mine was not that pretty, my dad always wore them at his school! oh, how much I miss him.
Lately, the world has been up and down with big news; the royal wedding, tornados, and finally death of Bin Laden. What a variety news!
One thing for sure is none of them seems real. The royal wedding gives feeling of fairy tale, the tornados were too terrible to accept that they really came through within a few minutes, and the death of Bin Laden seems not real for sure thinking back 9.11 with deep wounded pain.
I have thought about a popular phrase with all these news:" What would Jesus do?"
I pray that in May, I think more with that question in most situations, and find answers to follow and live according to the words of God.
