Yoon's musical note

It is already Dec. 26th today. I was so busy that could not stay in front of my computer to update my blog! Also, one of reasons is poor service of our internet connection at my office. It has been very busy but a special and blessed month for sure. We had the service of Lessons and Carols with eight different groups involved to lift up our heart to our New Born King. I loved the worship service myself. Not because of how music or other group performed but because I could worship Him and feel people's hearts to God. I prayed a lot for the service that God may bring the lost even one to the worship service and had gotten confidence that God did even though I did not know who they were. Emmanuel, God is with us, is miracle and grace. How could God come to us! As Philppians 2;5-11." Jesus made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, and he humbled himself, and became obedient to death, even death

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (1 Peter 4:8) After a long period of time with 1 Corinthian 13, this verse from 1 Peter has been recited in my heart all day long. I have been praying to ask God what He wants me to do and there have been answers with general acts such as "praying or reading the Holy bible" or specific actions such as giving a certain book to someone, or calling a friend and so on. Beyond all those answers, God has been strongly telling to me one thing is "Love others deeply!" I am not sure exactly how love covers a multitude of sins. But, I do know that Jesus did it on the cross for us. I can't love like Jesus does by myself but Jesus promised me that He will be with me until the end. It means that He will lead and help me to love others with His heart. What can I say more than obey? Even though there are a number of people who make my heart aches, I will pray and love them anyway because He tells

It has been for over a month now that God has waken me up around 3:00 or 4:00 regularly with a song, or words in my hearts. Amazingly, I haven't been tired at all, but I have felt more energeric with deep peace. I have enjoyed so much this date with God in the early mornings, and am afraid of what if I forget this intimate time with God in the future. When I started a month ago, I was desperated to know what God wanted me to do in that situation. I still haven't heard anything as an answer but keep hearing the same message that "Seeking Kingdome of God and His righteousness" and Keep praying in His Spirit no matter what. So, what I can I do more except obey to what He tells me to do everyday? Only thing...is "prayer". That is the reason that I wake up early. Even though it has been more than month now, I wake up with great excitment and expectation for the Lord every single morning. It has been just undescribly precious. More than fifteen years ago before I

I had a chance to attend revival services over the last weekend at a Korean Church in Savannah. There were five times services with three hour long each time from Friday night to Sunday night. A main focus was about the evangelism why and how we need to spread the Gospel. The speaker also focused on “seeking God’s kingdom and His righteousness”. I was fully challenged and encouraged with the speaker’s messages. One of suggestions about how to spread the Gospel got my attention. It was a simple phrase “do you believe in Jesus?” to find out whether they are Christians or not when we try to spread the Gospel. I asked the question to myself. “Do you believe in Jesus, Yoon?” of course, I said “Yes”. And after I heard a sermon at the second service on last Sunday, I asked further questions based on “believing in Jesus” to myself. If I believe in Jesus that He redeemed me with His precious blood on the cross, do I believe in Jesus that He answers our prayer every single one? I said “yes”

I was stressed out about today's worship service with the bishop's hour at our church. There was no format to follow but just worship for a half hour and I need to lead. I could not decide which songs we need lift up and have been praying for a guidance of the Holy Spirit for several days. Also, I helped to clean up the church yesterday because our custodian was sick with a flu. I dragged the heavy vacuum in the sanctuary, and here and there. I was happy to serve no complaining but still stressed out that I need to decide how to lead the service while I was cleaning. Amazingly, at this morning in my quiet time with the Word, God gave me exactly what I need to hear with Luke 10:38-42. I was again becoming Martha. As I shared in this blog before about my personality being Martha in many circumstances. It occurred again. :) Jesus told Martha "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will

In many thoughts lately, I have realized how important to pray fervently in Holy Spirit. I pray for many people and stuff but do not sometimes realize how important it is to pray in the Spirit. The dawn service has been a big help for me to focus on praying and listening God's word clearly. Amazing thing is that God shows how much details about living as a good christian which I haven't been able to follow well. On last Monday night, I had found out again that people did not invite me to one of my friends birthday party. I felt so left out again, and cried for a while with sadness that people do not accept me as their friend but only see me as a person who works for them. I simply was missing having friends. While I was crying, Jesus reminded me that He is my friend, and asked me what I need to have more. I prayed and confessed that I knew that Jesus is my friend but did not really consider Him as my real friend. At the very next morning dawn service, a lady,who leads two hymns

I have thought too much lately with so many issues in our lives and could not figure them out into writing. That is one of reasons that I haven't been able to update anything lately. However, I have been enjoying presence of God in prayer and worship. I have started attending regularly to the dawn service in Korean baptist church from Wed. to Sat. morning. I could not stay longer to pray because I have to come home to wake my kids to be ready for their school but I stay longer on Saturday. It is a such a blessing that there is a Korean church nearby for that service. I do not think it is matter with God whether I pray at home or at church but I really enjoy opening a new day with praising God, hearing God's word and fervent prayers. God wakes me up at 5:08 every morning for more than a week now. I could not believe how exact the time is at the clock next my bed. I know that God wants to me to kneel first thing in the morning. Our sanctuary reading bible has gotten now to "

I had a bitter experience lately at our pool in our neighborhood. There was a couple outside of the pool and a boy who was playing by himself at the pool when my friends who were visiting us from Detroit, and we got there. Our kids were playing lively and the boy was trying to play with my kids. My friend's son played with the boy and threw one of the boy's toy into the water to catch. The mother of the boy yelled outloud "You don't want to throw the toy like that! You are very mean!" and came to her son, telling "don't play with them, go to the other end of the pool". Well....I was watching and trying to figure it out what my friend's son did wrong. A few minutes later, there was a family with three kids coming into the pool and starting playing with the toy without permission to say. She did not say anything and let them play with her precious boy. She kept looking us in very hatful eyes. My friend asked "is this a normal happening in this

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 . Fortunately, we did not have to pay the car payment which might have been painful. It was true His Grace even though I had side effects from the accident for more than six months. Right before my Joanne was born, we felt that we needed a reliable car and found my car, 1996 Ford Taurus in Chicago. We got her in Dec. 2001. We named her again "Grace" that we were hoping that the car runs long and well. While we have had Grace, Jason got another old car, named little foot, for himself. My Grace died this M

It seems weird to think about some one's birthday who already passed away. Today is my dad's birthday. I still want to celebrate his birthday though even though he does not exist on earth anymore. He lived not that long life but did live and left great influence among his family, students, and friends for sure. He was born as a first son but third child at his family, was always in the first place in his classes according to my grandma throughout his school years. He did not like to fight or do stuff which common boys like to do. So, they teased him a lot. He was into writing, reading, or listening to others' lives. He wanted to study more but my grandfather wanted him to inherit his business. He took off to Seoul to study in Seoul National university in master's degree but his parents did not support him at all and were mad at him completely. He got a national scholarship to study abroad, came to University of Minnesota in 1962. He finished his master's degree and

A simbol of the retreat center at Lake Junaluska might be the cross on the hill. You can't miss it not seeing the one unless you only look down floor all the time. It is made on the hill toward the lake and mountains and it is decorated with many lights so you can see during the night too. I had moment to think about that cross related to my life. First of all, I thought about which way should be the first considering the cross; vertical line or paralle line? As we know, cross represents the redemption, salvation by Jesus Christ. He restored our relationship between God and people, as well as among people. However, it is very important to think about our priority to accept and live under the cross. If our priority leans on the relationship among people, it might leadto the byroad a lot. Some people calls "liberal" but I do not want to call it as "liberal". I can call it as hearts centered to people. For example, we love our neighbors first like ourselves. It sou

more difficult than say yes. I knew it but it was harder than what I thought. I haven't had much experience facing that problems in my life. I had to say no and let a person down today. I am still in shock and feeling beaten badly after what I did even though I had to. Of course, the person spit total curses for me and got hurt. I hope that she can understand that I am also got hurt to tell her. I have many weaknesses; one of them is I do not want to face to a situation that I have to say "no" or turn down something. So, I decided to do it this morning with a prayer before I told her. It stung directly to me too. I have thought about God's response toward us through this morning. He sometimes let us have a bitter moment. He has to say no to our prayers. However, we usually get upset and feel that we get hurt only. I learned from today's experience that it must have been really hard for Him to tell us no. For His big and perfect picture, He has to say no, even thou

Oh~! my goodness! It is truly July! We are starting a new half of 2009! Welcome July! even though the weather is steamy hot. July is a true summer month; VBS, pools, ice-cream, fire-works and so on. It has been a wonderful two and half months with my mom and she is leaving on July 6th to Korea. I have felt some regrets with many stuff. For example, I could not take her out certain places in Savannah but I told her that I need to save those places for later her visit. I wish I could take care of her nearby until she goes our eternal home. I really do wish. However, I pray that God sends loving people around her to make her happy and not lonely without her kids nearby. I am already sad but trust the Lord that He will be with her always. I enjoyed a lot at Lake Junaluska last week. Most of all, I enjoyed seeing 1100 people who are devotional to music to serve the Lord. Each morning, my heart was pounding with expectation and longing for morning worship service. I cried a lot because of Go

After my mom came to our home, there is a special activity created in our home; pulling weeds. As I heard from our neighobores, previous two owners of this house never took care of the lawn. So, you can imagine condition of my back yard. According my mom’s expression, “I can’t stand seeing the weeds!” And there she is pulling weeds. I could not stay inside not helping my mom so, I started pulling with her. And now, I say “I hate the weeds!” While I was pulling weeds, I have found that weeds’ stragedies. Amazingly, they are similar to SIN, especially, hidden, light sin. First of all, they look like a good grass. If you look only surface, it is hard to recognize which the weeds are. It disguises really well. Our hidden sins can be covered by our behaviors in daily life. Especially, if we repeat the sin, we notice that the sin becomes “excused well” and considered not like big sin. Also, the weed has got deeper and stronger root than normal grass. I am amazed always how deep the roots are

I know, I haven't been updating my home page lately. I honestly wrote several articles but did not finish to update. I have been distracted in many ways even though I am not busy at all. After mom came, I have tried to spend time with her at home, so I have been watching many Korean TV programs which I never watched before. I am not a TV watcher. However, it has been our family night event. It is June!! Today is my 14th wedding anniversary; June 3rd. I can't believe that it is our 14th year. We have been knowing each other since 6th grade and never dated but married suddenly. I am very thankful for our lives together. We are still immature in many ways in our relationship but I am sure that we will grow step by step as one team. Summer is a hard season to be focused on anything. I have found out that I haven't been productive for several weeks. If I am busy, I can be more focused. I would like to be more focused and productive in June. Laziness is one of things that I do no

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

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

When I grew up in my home town church choir from my 6th grade, I have learned about being responsible. Even though I was not a soloist or anything, I hardly missed rehearsals and Sunday service. Especially, my home was an hour away from the church and I had to take a bus by myself to go to the church. In Korea, children can do it if you know where you are going. On Sunday, I had to leave to the church at 6:5o in the morning to get there on time for a rehearsal too. I was happy to do that. I know, I can't insist to everyone in my choir to follow like me in here especially in different country. We all are different. I do not have problem with that reason but I have been thinking that we are somehow too much being excused especially for commitment to the Lord. The conclusion of excuses always end that God is love. He will understand. I know, He does. However, I do not think He likes that attitude. After Easter, my chancel choir members have got loosen somehow. Also, three youth handbe

How can I run with my best until the end? I have felt whenever after any big days, I become in low energy and slow down in my race. After Easter, I felt so tired and did not want to do anything else even though I could not be lazy. Spiritually also. I have tons of prayers to lift up to the Lord lately but my energy is so low. I know that we need to cool down for a while physically after some events. However, I think that we do not want to slow down for our Spiritual life cycle. I do read still the bible in the sanctuary and pray everyday but I have felt that something makes me not to closer to the Lord. That is why we need to be awake and alert in Spirit always. I used to be a short track runner at my middle school. I used to run really fast in 100 meter track. However, I want to be a good marathon runner for my life; keep in steady speed, having a lean body which is required to be a marathon runner, and never giving up until the end. There is only one way to be a good marathon runner;

Today was the Good Friday. Because of the busy schedule at my church, I haven't spent much time to pray or read more bible to meditate about the last week of Jesus' life on earth. It is very hard to focus when there are tons of works to do to. I have felt that some degree of regret how fast this week went without having an intimate time with Jesus. Even though I sang countless hymns and listened many meditation, I should have had some time off to have a that quite time with Jesus only more. While I was sitting at the long service this afternoon, I thought about Jesus. Why does he love us that much? I still could not understand some times. We are not even that nice at all and he already knew about us but sill loves us even given up his life for us. What wondrous love is this! we don't deserve that love but He still loves us. That is why it is wondrous and mysterious. As a sinner, I may not be able to understand his love. However, I am just overwhelmed by his love. He even d

One of poets described that April is a crucial month. As I understood the poet, April is too beautiful to be alone. Well... it might be. It is already April 7th. I have been very busy to confront the Holy week. Especially, our Lenten cantata will present tomorrow. I haven't slept without thinking for several days. It will be great but I still could not get the whole picture. Maybe God wants me to give up that part. He is the one who controls everything not me! Anyway, April comes to me as a color "green" always. The leaves of trees, new grass, and smell of green are definitely representing April. I would like to be renewed like natures in April. I want to have the smell of green. Welcome April!!

There are only two weeks left until Easter. I have been spending lots of time lately to think about our Lenten cantata. God gave me a strong word or theme for the cantata; "forgiveness." I don't know why and what I need to do for that. However, whenever I have tried to avoid the word, God has made me sure that I am following His word. He must have planned that He would like to see the people who have been problem with forgiveness. I honestly don't have problem with anyone yet what that I know of. Because Jesus died for us, our sins are forgiven eternally. I do not know what to make people to forgive each other except prayers. I don't know what God wants. I do know that He does not accept or forgive us unless we forgive ourselves for sure. I am still struggling what to do following the cantata, but praying that God shows me vivid image what I need to do. Would you like to pray with me for the Cantata night? I have felt very urgent that He has called people for forg

Happy birthday to me~! Yes, today, I turned forty!! YEAH! Yes, I am happy to be forty as I shared before. If you think about life which lasts around 80, I lived half way. And another half has just started. It is time to grow in Spirit and closer to the Lord! My life has been blessed in many many ways and God, my heavenly Father, has been leading me so faithfully. I am just so grateful that I am saved early in my life and have had great experiences what and how God has been working in my life. Most of all, He always blesses me to have many good people around me from beginning of my life. I am just overly blessed even though I don't deserve all! His loving kindness endures forever! Now, it is time to grow and make fruits from my forty years of life; love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control .

I am not good at cleaning, sorting, or filing even though I spent lots of time for them. I don't mind doing those. Some people say "I hate cleaning". But for my case, I don't hate but I am not good at. Do you get the differences? I spend more than other people who are good at cleaning for cleaning but result is worse. I sometime wants to hire some people to do it for me. Anyway, today was our church cleaning day. Jason and I cleaned the Sanctuary as well as the hall way walls with oil. While I was cleaning dust off from each congregation seats, I prayed for people as well as myself that Lord cleanse me with His blood and give us a clean heart. As we know, we need to cleaning often to keep the clean condition. If we do often, it takes less timing and effort but if we postpone and clean only once in a while, it takes many hours as well as our energy and effort. It is same as our heart. If I keep postponing to confess or admit my sin or fault, it roots deeply and hard to

Yes, finally... March is here! I think the person who named this month as March, did a wonderful job. March is a such active month especially among natures. March is also waking my senses; smell, sight, hearing, tasting, and touching; yellow flowers, green leaves, birds singing, tasty spring vegetables, and so on. In Korea, we start our schools on March as the first semester; new schools, classes, friends and so forth. I remember that I used to be very tired and kind of cranky and moody because of all those changes environment in March. The weather is still bitter in Seoul but you had to wear "Spring" clothes to be a cool kids. So, I had to wear colorful thin jackets in cold March. I do remember how cold it was but did not mind being cold because it is Spring. My mom used to make a special soup with spring vegetable. Hmm ... I could smell it still. On the other hand, March is special because I was born in the month. I was supposed to be born in middle of April but I came out

It is already one and half years since we moved down to Richmond Hill from Bloomington , IN. However, I have feeling strange still sometimes. My girls had difficult time to adjust last year and I thought they are settled more in this "adjusting" period. However, I became a little worried after I had a moment with my Christine last night. She asked suddenly in out of blue, " mom, are there any Korean around here nearby?" I asked "Why". " I have been feeling lonely and left out". I immediately questioned"Where? from whom?" She did not answer me but shared that she misses her Korean friends in Indiana. I have felt very guilty that I neglected that area of their lives. I have been praying for their good adjustment, friendship, and being focused in school works. However, I never thought that they miss so called "Korean friends". It might have been from my belief that they are Korean- american , they are not totally Korean like me.

When I found out that I got pregnant with Joanne, I was not happy. I was ready to go back to my doctoral program after two years of break with my Christine. I confessed my un -grateful heart about the baby and accepted the gift, Joanne. It was harder with so many ways than Christine's time. Because Jason was taking full time classes, working at school and it led us limited in several ways, especially financially. I could not eat well with Joanne somehow and could not afford to buy special food for my craving either. So, I had to keep my craving down with ramen noodles for all most everyday. I do remember still. However, I went to the dawn prayer service at the Korean UMC every morning. Somehow, I was not sad or depressed because of lack of many things but instead I was very content. Especially, when I had Joanne at the hospital, I was very grateful. My mom could not come to help me out because of my dad who was seriously ill when I had the baby. So Jason had to take care of Christi

Happy Valentine! Wishing you all are surrounded by love, joy, and peace especially from above!!

Lately I have been enjoying reading a book "What's so Amazing about Grace?" by Philip Yancey. I read the book in Korean a long time ago but I have surprised how different it is in English. Also, I have been amazed how Philip Yancey wrote so lively in expression in every single words he used. I wish I can have that talent! However, I have to keep my dictionary nearby because there are tons of words which I do not know. He certainly used many colorful and unusual vocabularies. Even though it has taken more than easy books to finish reading even for one chapter, I really have enjoyed reading it every day. The book has been leading me in deep thoughts that I have been struggling to find "answer" lately. I truly agree many many ways in this book, and it has made me many times of crying while I am reading the book. I was longing for answers for how I can be the best but the most humble person, how I can be sensitive to the Holy Spirit, but not judgemental? How can I

Today is my dad's memorial day. He passed away six years ago. I can't believe that how long it has been. I can't express how much I miss him. I could not be with him when he left to heaven. In Korean custom, it is one of impiety ways to parents that a child misses the moment when parents pass away. Unfortunately, I was one of them. I could go earlier to see him in Korea but he told me on the phone not to come yet two days before he left. I was worried and even changed my ticket to Tuesday from Thursday, however, he passed away on Monday. Somehow, I believe that he did not want me to see him leaving. However, I regretted for a long time that I should have gone earlier to say bye to him. I could not mourn loudly enough at that time because of my young children. However, whenever I misses him, I could not stop crying still. I was very blessed to have both wonderful mom and dad. Even though my dad never liked me to study music, he was the closest, and best friend. I miss his la

I love February even though I actually love every month. When I was in young age, February meant "preparation for the new semester". In Korea, the school semester begins from March like September in the State. We had a long winter break from a middle of December to beginning of February, and had another break one week after until March 1st. March 2nd is still the first day of any school. So, during the break right before March, we went to department stores to get new note books, pencils, backpacks and so on. The weather is still bitter in February but we can smell coming of Spring once in a while in the air, and pile of snow started melting with sunshine in February. My hearts used to be pounding for exciting for the coming month and season. After I got married to my husband and had my second child, Joanne, February came to me differently. Both of their birthdays are in this month as a day apart. Also, we usually settle down in February fever after Holiday and a New year. Mos

I don't remember when we started reading our bible in the sanctuary last year. I think it was in the fall. We are now in the middle of 2 Chronicles. Reading bible loudly has been helping me in many ways. Mostly, I enjoy so much especially prayers of prophets, great kings like David. I read from chapter 20 to 22 this morning. In chapter 20, I was stunned by the scene of a prayer. Most time when I read the bible, scenes are alive like watching movie right now. It happened this morning too. I could see Jehoshaphat and people kneeling down in front of God asking mercy. When Jehoshaphat heard that a vast army is coming to fight with them, he did not prepare the war at all. Instead, he did kneel down and told all the people even children and women to do same with him in front of God. Most amazing thing was Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing the Lord and to praise Him for the splendor of his Holiness with " Give Thanks to the Lord for His love endures forever!" The Lord set ambus

I have been conducting since I was a fresh man in college. I conducted some before but did start at my fresh man year at my church choir small group. The group was called "Royally" that we visited one of big hospital next to our church in downtown Seoul every Sunday morning from 8:00 for an hour. We sang hymns in every other floor at a center of each floor. (It had fourteen floor) Sometimes, people asked us to visit their rooms. We sang and prayed with them. I was not volunteered to direct but somehow I became a director of the group. I truly enjoyed it and never missed one single Sunday for three years. At the end of second year, I mostly memorized people's favorite hymns. I had to pass to someone at the third year; that was a rule. We took turns. I simply gave a first note for four parts and start waving my arms. I thought that is conducting. As I studied more and more, I found out that conducting is not waving arms with tempo or meter at all. Especially, after I starte

After I heard Rev. Bill's sermon yesterday, I have thought about my calling from the Lord. I could call "P& P ministries". Praise and Prayer ministries . Especially, I am called for P& P ministries for sure at least at my church. Lately, we have been focusing, at least myself, about how to live as a real active Christian. As I shared from last article, I have thought about how to be a living Christian who is active, quickly response to what the Lord says. As I walked with the prayer walk team this morning, lots of thoughts occurred in my head. First word came to me was"awake." It is related to also "active". How can I be awake in the Spirit always? How can I make people awake in the Spirit? If we are awake in the Spirit, we must have been responding to what the Lord says immediately. It is one of my resolutions . "Respond immediately ! and don't postpone!" First thing First! Our priority can be made by ourselves. I myself, mak

Have you thought about "living life?" We live on earth. People live. One of cartoon characters in children's movie lately said " I don't want to survive but I wan to live." How can we tell we are living now. We could survive or just pass every day life so easily without thinking. A meaning of living must have been something different than just existing. Living means that moving, active, and inter-active one another. On Monday I had to go to have ultra sound in Savannah. While I was waiting, I read a wonderful story from a magazine in a waiting area. The story was about one middle aged woman in country side of India. She did not have any medical training or degree but has been helping women and babies as well as children in a small village for more than a decade. She does have only one blood pressure pump and scale, that is all. However, she has delivered 522 babies with 100 % successful delivery with healthy babies. She visits people, most of women in the v

It has been one of busiest Holiday season in my life. From right before Thanksgiving to right now second day of the new year I haven't had much time for myself. However, I am so thankful for the deep peace from the Lordthroughout those busy schedules. I haven't thought about any resolutions for 2009 yet. However, one thing for sure is to be nearer to the Lord. I will try my best to pray and praise more with all my heart. Let's have a Blessed New Year!! and be nearer to the Lord!
