Life has been hectic yet I’m rejoicing over Passion Week. What a glorious week in the history. Thank You Jesus. Thank You Father.

You never change

I was snowboarding at Wilmot in Wisconsin yesterday. I finally picking it up again after 7 years of not boarding.

As I was entering into Wilmot Ski resort, I noticed the sign saying “Celebrating 70 years” and boasting how they changed to current. As I’m snowboarding, I realized how my mind is bombed by the idea of bring changes in every possible ways. This semester we’ve been talking about innovation and how we need to think and change the industry. Spiritually my mind is boggled with how to bring revival, how to change the Christian culture in the states. At the top of the slope God spoke to me softly how He never changes. He is same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He’s always same. There’s a saying in Korean “In 10 years even mountains and rivers change.” Even my heart changes, my mind changes, and all the world around changes but our God never changes. His love never changes. His truth never changes.

We are talking about same love, same passion, same mercy, and same glory. If all things are created in Him and everything is in His hands, what is there to worry?

I need to get closer to Him once again. Forgetting it all and trusting in Him.
I think I saw the light yesterday.

Light of the World

On the way back from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas I was driving in the complete darkness for good 5~10 minutes. I was tired, nothing else to see, and plus my mother wasn’t too happy about complete darkness. Little bit after we saw a light shining from distant house. It was far away that it didn’t really matter to driving condition but it was bright enough to give warmth and hope to my mother and me. As I listening to my mother how glad she was to see the light, I felt Jesus speaking to me.

After few days spending time in Las Vegas, I feel many people are lost in the darkness blowing away there life, time, money, and many other things in this place. Yeah of course I was able to see people who enjoy their vacations and people trying to release their stress after a long day of conventions and meetings but I saw enough people stressing out losing their money and keep pouring more into the bottomless pit trying to recover their losses. My heart became heavy and wanted to leave this place asap.

Be a light that can bring warmth to His people until He comes back to shine bright all over the world like the sun. I do not know how to shine bright in front of people who are visiting and passing through this city but I will be a small light through my prayer. All who are in the darkness remember this. There is always someone who’s praying over you in times of trouble, weary, and situations of no hope to restore hope, joy, and loving relationship with Jesus Christ.

Esau and Isaac

I was reading Genesis today and the story of these two brothers came up.
God spoke to Rebekah that “the older shall we’ve the younger” (Gen. 25:24) Rebekah willingly deceived Isaac. I was thinking about lack of faith that Rebekah had but all these are caused by Esau’s disobedient and discomfort he caused.

Gen 26:35 says Esau’s marriage made life bitter for Issac and Rebekah and 28:6-9 tells Esau married Canaanite woman to displease parents. yeah it looks like unfair love and favoritism resulted this but God spoke to me simple message again. Honor, respect, obedient, and love my parents. Blessings are coming from loving them, not being rebellious to them.

I need to write more.

I’m a person who forgets easily. I’m a person who has hard time communicating. I’m a person who is not friendly with language. I’m a FOB (means an immigrant). God has been requesting me to improve in this area for His glory. I’ve been pushing back and refusing to improve in getting better at communication skills. There are many other areas where I need to work on but surely I need to improve efficiency in delivering my thoughts.

My solution to this? Write more often. So here I come, I’ll write as much as possible. Hopefully i’ll not stop after a day or two. Lots of random things or thoughts in my head will be posted here. If you know me well enough and know how to contact me, nudge me time to time if I stop writing. Thank you.

restore…

I realized I lost my joyful and thanksgiving lifestyle. My heart is hardened, consumed with anger and frustration, I don’t want to use excuse of being stressed and tired. I really need to restore my life of rejoicing and thanksgiving.

Jesus, help me!
