this week i am thankful for/that-
friends who readily offer prayer and grace
heart remembering how to receive again
heart remembering that it’s free and it’s safe to connect with family
body remembering that it doesn’t have to be on ‘go, go, go!’ mode all the time
joy and worship as a weapon. it’s getting really exciting!
His faithfulness being my Rock....
“What we are is plain to God… so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart. If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no...
The reality that each of us carries much that need to be expressed to bring freedom and to reveal Truth. And it takes Love to muster up the courage to.
To love freely and to be loved freely. This is what He wanted from the start, and this is what He paid for.
I don’t ever want to be puffed up in knowledge, in information, in methods.
I don’t want to grow in knowledge that does not engage the heart.
Because we are made to know Him, we are made to behold Him. And this definitely, completely captivates your heart.
Who we believe Him to be and who we know Him to be from our relationship with Him is what we offer to the world- not our...

Thank you Papa T_T
My flight to JFK, then SFO is confirmed… I am really going homeeeee!!! Wahh… I lost some money and a day (no… I gained a day!) but gained a friend from Iraq who is a PhD student in England- she even invited me to visit her sometime in the next year- and she even said that, as it’s her only day and first time in Turkey, that she was hoping she would find a girl to...
I am the rose,
the joy for which you died
And this I know-
I move you with delight…
복잡하게 생각. 고민 하지 않고. 단순하지만 진심으로, 열정으로 사랑하고 싶다.
따르고 싶다. 함께하고 싶다. 대학교 4학년으로서 꼭 ‘마무리’ 지어야 하는 것 같은 시기이지만, 사실 아직 결정 내리지 못 한 것들도 있고, 새로운 것들도 눈에 많이 들어오는 것 같다. 하나님께서 새로운 일들을 하시려고 하는 것은 알고 있다. 특히 2012년에… 그래서일까? 은혜를 통해 마음이 편하다… 머리가 복잡 해질 때도, 마음은 편하다. 전능하시고 신실하신 하나님이시니까. 그 하나님이 나를 무척 사랑하시고 (찐하게 사랑하시고.!) 예뻐하시는 나의 아빠니까. 나를 ‘예뻐하신다’ 나를 ‘소중히’ 여기신다… (2012년...
Even though I am behind in my 10 page paper and for studying for my last final… How can I resist writing a post when I am leaving Turkey to go back to California in 3 days?
I am about half packed… I am not looking forward to dragging my carry-on suitcase by my hand with the now-broken handles around- I guess it’s time, it’s been through a lot (haha…it’s been...

But GOD- You are so much more.
You want me to know that You don’t take the things I do lightly- but more than that- You don’t take my ‘I love you’s lightly- You don’t take all the desires in my heart lightly- You are a GOD who wears His heart on His sleeve- You don’t see my obedience and my love for you as something that You expect a ‘grateful...
Homestretch!!!
Wow. What an year 2011 was. An year of breakthrough- in realizing His jealous love for me, in healing, restoration and redemption, in celebrating friendships, in embracing who He created me to be, in walking out in my authority as royalty and daughter of God, in learning how to be loved by family- in freedom; in trust; in celebration; in dreaming; in worship.
Learning how to be loved and...

Merry Christmas from Ankara!!! : ) just noticed, it looks like there’s a heart dancing around the candle i was holding at the end! hehe
“Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a beautiful thing to me. The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me. When she poured this perfume on my body, she did it to prepare me for burial. I tell you the truth, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her.”
Every step she takes is where she belongs.
sheandhercat said: this is so beautiful but what does it meannn? (no i am seriously asking haha)
And I will try to answer! I think it may be long, haha… By the way, I love your blog! It’s beautiful. And I love that you are a sister in Christ : ).

I am not a people pleaser. I am a Lover and I am His Beloved.
“Mystery is a necessary ingredient that keeps us in the realm of faith and trust. It’s amazing that He increases the mystery in my life at the same time I am pursuing wisdom and understanding. While he will increase the revelation in my life He will purposefully increase the mystery so that I can stay strong in faith.” -Bill Johnson Needed to hear that. Thank you Papa.
“Every step she takes is where she belongs…”
Sigh. I just don’t fit into the ‘mold’ of anything, and I don’t want to. Definitely not of a ‘Korean girl’ or a ‘Korean-American girl’.
[I love] when people get life. When they...
“I believe that patience is often the greatest virtue in photography. When I put myself in the right place at the right time and exercise patience, beautiful moments unfold. I never try to force an image and rarely will I pose my subjects. Instead I prepare for that second when all the elements come together and with a click of the shutter something transcendental happens - I...
now... believe it.
this is for you.
i want you to know first how beautiful you are. numbers don’t equal beauty. a size doesn’t equal beauty. a skin tone doesn’t equal beauty. beauty is the way you love other people. beauty is the way you are uniquely you. beauty is the way your curly hair compliments your green eyes. beauty is the way your unique features of dark hair and light eyes makes you strikingly...
Dear friends,
