I did not go any vacation since a summer in 2007. I think I need a good break, a real break; no one bothers me, or ask me to fix their breakfast, lunch, & dinner and I just sit and watch the waves endlessly and breath and smell salty ocean. I have been stress out lately with my work and getting a house. I want to get away somewhere to refresh myself. I need to have some real time off. How can it happen?
Since 1997 we have had used cars. I had a serious car accident by avoiding a giant deer on a high way, flipped twice and half, and our first new car was totalled. Right after the accident, we got 1988 Pontiac Bonneville . Even though it did not have any air condition, we used it for almost five years. We named her "Grace" because it was old but gracefully running well. Also, at that time, the economy in Korea was dropped badly, the dollar currency went up to triple .

I have learned a lot how God, our heavenly Father, would feel since I have my two girls. I have more felt His hearts toward His children as a parent truly more.

Also, she knows that she will be in a big trouble if she eats bad things, but she eats anyway. I hope I am wise and disciplined so I can stop when God tells me to stop. Honestly, I can hear Him most of times saying " Yoon , stop it! it is not helping you at all.'' I do anyway and regret. How dumb I am! Well.... Beyond all these, there are Grace and Mercy from the Father. That is why I am still alive.
