Welcome July!

-

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 God's beauty. I could see His beautiful creation in nature, people, music, arts, and hearts. I wish that I have talents to describe vividly how beautiful God's world is. I wish that I have big hearts to contain all the love, grace, joy, and peace from Him to share with others. I wish that I have an ability to deliver those beautiful words of God. However, God comforted me that He sees my hearts and love toward Him. I do not want to live to be just medium. I will do my best to live in this world to lift my heart to the Lord and to work hard with my talents to produce as much as I can. So, I want to hear from my Lord at the end," You, good servant, did your best! Now, take rest and enjoy eternity with me." Let's work! We do not have time to sit and being whiny!

Jesus. why did you give up your glory? why did you bear the humiliation? why did you become a servant? why Lord? Whenever I read through the life of Jesus, I was wondering why he loves people who don't deserve his love so much. I could tell that I do not deserve it either. How can I even close to understand the love? However, I am honored, I am blessed, and I got the victory through Jesus my Savior. It is a true grace that a sinner like me got to get the eternal life because His grace! In my home church in Korea used to go out to spread the Gospel on Easter Sunday right after the services. We brought bulletin written for evangelism to the people. I was shy sometimes, could not go to say a word to tell them about my Jesus. However, I did try give the bulletin at least and say "Jesus loves you and please accept Jesus as your Savior." Whether we are six years old or eighty years old, we all went to outside right after Easter service. It was our tradition of Easter. I miss t

 Beautiful  I've been reflecting on the word "beautiful" for a while now. People use it in various contexts to express their pleasant feelings. Sometimes, it is simply uttered as an aspiration: "Beautiful." Defining beauty is challenging, as it encompasses numerous aspects, insights, tastes, and dimensions. It is also highly subjective. I turned to Genesis chapter 1, the creation story, to explore how God uses the concept of beauty. In English translations, the word "beautiful" isn't explicitly mentioned; instead, "good" is used. After each day of creation, God remarks that "it was good." The Hebrew word for "good" is "tobe," which means beautiful, well, pleasant, good, and more. I believe this word conveys a sense of wholesomeness. In Genesis 1:31, when humans were created in God's image, it is written, "it was very good." This suggests that God was especially pleased with His creation of human

First day of July with Psalm 1st

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruits in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the assenbly of the righteous. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. I pray that we are planted by streams of water, which yields its fruits in season and whose leaf does not wither throughout this month. Let's have a blessed new month!
