Christmas 2006




It's been a crazy year for me... got engaged, got married, honeymoon, moved to different city, got a new job, new home, new church, new friends, and NEW FAMILY. All within few months in year 2006 and I thank God for his faithfulness and guidance. This week has been a breathing time for the first time since I moved to VA. I cooked for S's family and my family for Christmas dinner. It was my first time ever making more than one dish for that many people (only 8 including myself). I think I did a pretty good job... knowing that our families ate my food...? Anyhow, I am very thankful for allowing both families to get together for such a special day... for a wonderful time... I just wish that my mom was there as well.. even though I know that she is in a better place, I have to admit I want her right by me more than anything. It's been so hard knowing that she's not here. Sometimes it is still not real to me... I dream about her, and dream about her... she doesn't seem too happy in my dream..still sick and weak...and that brings back all the sorrow and hopelessness again. I forget often how I was so thankful that she was saved...and that she was able to finally be in heaven. I get so caught up in my own feeling and I often ask a question "why?". S reminds me my mom had a good life.... that she was a true christian who always offered and served even in her condition...with joy. S also tells me that I shouls be more like her. Although I don't hear everything I like to hear from him, he's been a wonderful husband. : ) I should tell him often that I'm very lucky to be with him!

S and I went to 5-day Urbana Conference with couple of church members. We drove about 14 hours to St. Louis and drove back on new year. I went without much expectation but this trip made me realize how I was so lack in knowledge of the truth about this world today. It was so helpful not only because I learned how and what I can offer as a christian but also because S and I were able to spend time discussing and talking about things that we heard and saw from this conference. S rarely tries to teach me about bible but I realized that I really need to read and study more about the words. Year 2007... it feels like 2000 millennium was just yesterday.

GIRL!! It's about time you updated your blog!! So glad that things are going well. Wow, you made dinner for 8 people and 3 of them are korean adults. You're brave!!

Yes, Bill and Albert enjoyed Urbana too and it opened their eyes to so much. I too had forgotten about how important the word of GOd is and that I don't spend enough time reading and meditating.
