It's funny how one day, a person can seem cute.. and the next day, I could almost care less. Ok, maybe that was a little bit extreme. But regardless, a person gets the plus points, and just as quickly get the minus points...

So apparently in Korea, today is the day where you eat 팥죽. Hmmm, so red bean cognee soup? Haha. I don't know how to translate it.



But I dont have it and no family to eat it with here so i am eating a 비비빅, a red bean ice cream.


I think they it's because it's cold in the winter, and you eat it to warm up. So I think I'm going against the whole purpose of eating red bean.

Hahahaha. peaace out

I cannot believe it's already the 4th advent Sunday. I'll be honest, I totally forgot that it was Christmas Sunday going into church today. In fact, I think I might have almost missed going to church today. I actually didn't/couldn't go last Sunday while I was in Daegu and had to work at 1pm.
But this weekend, I was up in Seoul (how and why for another blog). I actually was gonna go back to Daegu  Saturday night (to work on Sunday again) but my boss told me to just stay the extra day and come back on Sunday. So I did.
I woke up Sunday morning and decided to take advantage of the situation and make my way over to Jubilee Church, an English speaking church in Seoul.
Pastor David Hwang then told us to greet each other in the congregation, "happy 4th advent Sunday"
It was then I realized, "wow, it's the Sunday before Christmas." We were watching the children do their Christmas performances and just made me smile.
And the sermon was on His perfect love. the nitty-gritty non glamorous kind of love. Wowsies, it hit me.

But right now it's almost 3am so I need to sleep. HAHA, cliffhangerrrrrr

And I think I saw Tim the 가수 today.

Haha. It seems as if the last time I wrote on my blog, it was when I was in Korea. Well, it's December and I'm back in Daegu again. It's only been a few days since I've landed in Korea.

Hi all.

I have been in Korea for almost 3 weeks now. It's comfortable here. at times. And then home in America is home. haha. but I don't think I can ever call Daegu a home.

Anyways...
First week at the hakwon is almost done... but I don't feel like I'm dying like when I started last summer. Maybe cause there's less students right now... and I just feel less busy. I don't know what to do with all this free time. I dont really know anybody down here in Daegu. Haha. hopefully, things pick up soon. I'm sure it will... It did last year too~

next weekend.. There are plans to have another GLDI reunion. Who knew that I'd see all these people so soon. 2 years ago, when those 40 days ended... I thought it would be forever until I see these people again. (well, except for the 2 other GA people). Happy happy!
And....... I will also get to go see a Yiruma concert. chyeaahh.. I should have practiced from my sister's Yiruma piano book before I came here. Haha

i'll be honest...
walking on my graduation was nothing like i expected it to be.
idono, maybe i was too optimistic to think i would hear the arena erupt when my name was called. haha
but i always imagined i would be taking a huge group picture with friends after the ceremony was over.. and grabbing a yummy dinner afterwards. because that's what we always did before.

i've told some people that i was afraid that no one, besides my family, would really come to my graduation...
and that almost happened... thank you for the one friend that did come out...
it means a lot.

idono.. most people had other things to do.. there were a couple of church things that seemed to have coincided with my graduation.. and for others, idono.. maybe they were busy with other things...
i just wished they were busy with seeing me at graduation..

i think i can say this past semester, maybe this past year, was my loneliest.

but i'm freaking outta here.
seeya suckaz~

A couple days ago (on Tuesday), we went over John 5:1-15 in my small group. But i had to pause at one verse.

"When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?" John 5:6 nasb.

Jesus asked the sick man if he wanted to get well... Jesus cares... but it seems like it's us that needs to answer and tell him, "Yes, I do wish to get well." In this situation, we see that Jesus first approached the sick man, and not the other way around. Jesus wants to bless us. Bless me! And move into my life. We just need to let him do it. Too often do I let myself get in the way. Too often do I worry. Too often do I just wait... I need to go to him and respond.

I don't know, the more I think about it, it's like God telling me to just come to him. I sit everyday worrying about what's going to happen next. I sit here and worry about my life. Going crazy in my head. But here comes Jesus, and he's asking me, "Do you wish to get well?"

Here is a great short article on foreign missionaries to Korea. Next time I go to Korea, I want to take a visit here.

connecting movies (Avatar, a super movie!!!).. the messianic themes.. and connecting that even further with our own Christian lives in missions and cross cultural communication..
