2 Corinthians 12:10
“That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

lesdudis:
#1 – You see people as working for you and not with you.
#2 – Everyone who pushes back on any of your ideas is automatically branded as disloyal. (Because for you “loyalty” is defined as, “loving everything I say and do!”)
#3 – Every time someone begins to say something good about someone else you always have to be the person who says, “yes, but what you don’t know...
Mini-Golf Course
My parents always took me along with them to golf practice ranges. During these times, I would wander off looking for things to do. I remember going to all the accommodating candy/refreshment centers, the tv lounges, and goose ponds. The best parts to the visits were the mini-golf courses. There were courses with mini wind-mills and bridges. There were courses with deep pools of water and fake...
In Search of Small Churches
http://www.seeya-downtheroad.com/ShortStories/SmallChurches.html Oh, the adventure of traveling- to find miniature churches.
Dog Chapel

Psalm 141:3
The dangers about the whole lin-craze is that we can erect Jeremy into a god. This might sound silly, but I always have to keep my heart in check when I’m talking about J. Lin because sometimes my choice of words can end up sounding like idol-worship. It’s quite contrary to what his actual intentions are- he wants to direct our attention from him to Him. I do really admire what...

The sports world has a historically fraught relationship with complexity. Like caramel on ice cream, opinions of athletes are often formed quickly and harden fast. “Look at his stride—-he’s got a hitch.” “She’s too slight—-won’t be able to get anywhere on the field.” “With that wingspan, he’ll be able to impose his will on defense.” Whether you’re torpedoed all the way to the...
Thank You for loving me.
“I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you, declares the Sovereign LORD, and you became mine.” Ezekiel 16:8
Renewal
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.”
2 Corinthians 4:16 (ESV) I would like to share this with my parents this. I’m sure they know this verse, but I think it’s nice to remind them.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” Proverbs 31:25 Beautifully phrased. Please.
Smiles!
I love smiley people. I love it when I’m smiling at people & they are smiling right back at me. It’s a beautiful moment. It’s like the scene at the end of the korean movie “Sunny” when the last member comes to the funeral and they all look at her, and there’s a glimpse of them in their former, adolescent form, sharing a smile with each other. It’s a...
“Because there’s nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop...”

Anonymous asked: Would you care to explain how the world glamorizes the clinical disease of depression? I'm not quite sure if that's accurate.
b e a u t y
The World: Glamorizes depression and emacation, as if they were commodities. The real deal: “Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”
1 Peter 3:4

Shrimp Thoughts 2.0
I wonder how much rice an asian person consumes by the end of his/her life. I also wonder the average ramens a college student consumes over his/her four years of higher education.
My roommate just gave me a box that she was finished using from Max Brenners. It’s so pretty. I giggled in glee when I received it in my hands. The joys of the little things.
When people learn that I go to...
We took a coffee break for Design of Dissent class, so I stepped out to print out my work. I come back to the classroom, about to take a seat. All I’m thinking is, “Ugh, I’m 5 minutes late and the teacher’s already talking. This is so embarrassing.” I’m about to go to my corner seat, but I realize that someone has taken my seat. No, wait. That’s not my...

"Hate Evil, Love Good."
Regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or age, if a person is given a cut, he or she bleeds.
It says in Psalm 82:3,
“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”
I think it’s time we do just that.
VC2012 (Moment IV)
In the BGG performance, Jesus was pulling four people with these long rope-like strings. They tried their best to counter his strength, but in the end, He was able to draw them towards Him. No matter how hard they fought against Him, it didn’t matter; Jesus kept pulling them closer. He never gave in. He never let go.
I can say that this was a manifestation of what happened for so many...
VC2012 (Moment III)
I was so captivated by her prayer. She said, “I missed You so much. I remember the first time I met You. You were so beautiful. You were so perfect.” The word “perfect” lingered.
VC2012 (Moment II)
I will share yet another moment: My soonwon was on the other bed speaking with me. She told me how she used to crack jokes with God and that they would both laugh together. He would say that He thought she was funny. I don’t think I’ve ever had that level of comfort with God before. I barely even joke around with my biological father. It made me rethink my relationships with both...
VC2012
I will share one moment:
Jong Ah GSN told us to find someone that we trust to confess our sins to. I was with my soonwon, Turtle, seated towards the back. From my peripheral, I saw a guy just standing, perhaps looking for that special someone. Then another male specimen marched right next to the guy, grabbed his arm, and brought him swiftly to the other side of the room, at which the guy...
Song of Solomon 8: 6-7
Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is strong as death, passion fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, a raging flame. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If one offered for love all the wealth of one’s house, it would be utterly scorned.
What To Say?
2011 was incredible. I am blessed to have experienced two of the best semesters of school in two of the best ministries, hope & nyukccc. Looking back at older photos, I’m so amazed at how God has changed my vision of who I am and what He’s doing in my life. I would love to go into specifics, but I’d like to just leave this short, simple, and clean. Here’s an old photo...

Psalm 22:1 - “My God, my God, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?” (NKJV)
As Jesus hung there stained, saturated, and sin-laden, the Father refused to look at His Son. Why? Christ was bearing every vile, degrading vice that depraved…
