Testimony of God's Goodness

     Each semester seems to go by faster and faster each year! I want to take some time to reflect on God's goodness and sovereignty and share a bit of what God has done in my life throughout the last semester (I've been meaning to write this blog post for a while, but it's been hard to get back into writing blogposts after a while). A lot of people have asked me during the fall semester if my classes were difficult. Every semester in college is difficult - so I replied that yes, it was difficult. However it was difficult in a different sense than my previous semester had been. My spring semester of freshman year, I took BSCI207 (Principles of Biology III) and CHEM241 (Organic Chemistry II) which were really difficult classes. I spent a lot of time studying for both classes because they both required time to understand the material. However this semester, I took Genetics and General Chemistry II (gen chem 2), which were still difficult classes but easier than Principles of Biology II and Organic Chemistry II. God also provided new opportunities and I began my first year as a youth group teacher as well as a Guided Study Sessions (GSS) leader for Principles of Biology III. Both provided great learning experiences in leading small groups. I thank God for these opportunities!
      I also had to take gen chem 2 lab, which turned out to be more difficult than I expected it to be. In the beginning it was difficult to adjust to because you had to be very detailed oriented to do well in the class with significant figures and calculations. After a low grade on my third lab report, I began to ask God for help for each lab report. And it's amazing how God brought me through this class! These lab reports took the minimum of four hours each week. In high school, I would do all my work in the weekends before hanging out with my friends or work ahead so I wouldn't get behind (Yes, I would do homework on Friday nights). However, I found myself unable to do any serious schoolwork over the weekends this past semester due to events and meetings. This was really stressful because I would have to do all my work and studying during the weekdays. However, God never failed to provide and I began to do well in gen chem 2!
     ...Until I was looking through my gen chem lab folder over Thanksgiving break only to realize I had forgotten to turn in my lab report the last lab. Ironically I went to lab early that week. I was trying to figure out what the lab that week was going to be like because it seemed like my lab mates also had no idea what was happening. And so, I completely forgot to turn in my lab report (it was completed and in my folder in lab). I emailed my TA and even asked my professor, but they wouldn't accept the late lab report. So I couldn't do anything but take the 0 for the lab report. And so I received a 10/75 for that lab (10 points from prelab quiz and notebook). At that point, it dropped my grade 7.5%.
     Romans 8:28 says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Even though it was difficult to see and believe the good at the moment, I trusted that God would use this situation for his glory. Although this was near the end of the semester, there were a lot more points to be earned in the class with 3 more lab reports, a second midterm, and the final. I ended up doing well on the midterm and final. And due to the curve, I got an A in gen chem 2 lab! I thank God for helping me with each lab report, midterm, and the final. And I am so thankful for my parents and friends who prayed for me. Also (this may be something small) in the syllabus, my professor said the lab reports were going to be worth a certain percentage of our grade and our tests were going to be worth a certain percentage of our grade as well. Somehow he exceeded the points for the lab reports and had to scale back our grade to what he said in the syllabus. While this brought down some people's grade, I think this actually helped raised my grade. Just through all this, I see God's sovereign hand over my life. It's hard to believe we're at the end of December and beginning 2015 very soon. 2014 has been a really exciting year for me and it really has been a year of creativity! I am also looking forward to all that God has in store for us in 2015! (I'll try to write more reflections because it's been too long!).

God is good. All the time.

Winter Photoshoot - Rebekah

Took a few pictures with Rebekah today in our usual place (the woods near our house)!

Giving Thanks

     I'm so thankful for these few days of rest and a break from school to be able to reflect on the goodness of God. Last Sunday, Peter gave his first youth group message and he shared Francis Chan's rope illustration. You can watch the video below:

     And it's been on my mind these couple of days. A few questions running through my head are - "Grace, what are you living for? Who are you living for? What do you want your life to look like in the end?" It's crucial to know that this life is temporary - we're living for eternity (as hard as this concept is for me to grasp). It will affect how I spend my time, money, and energy. I want to learn to love others the way Jesus loved. In the midst of lab reports, grades, etc. it's so easy to get caught up in the busyness of school that I forget that the my ultimate goal is to glorify my heavenly Father. And maybe if I think about life like this, I can willingly and joyfully give up a few hours of my time to invest in friendships instead of spending that time selfishly.

     Looking back, I am thankful for so many things, but I am especially thankful for the friendships that God has given me! I also wanted to share a little bit of what I have been learning and doing regarding photoshop and illustrator.

I first wrote this on a piece of paper, traced it on illustrator, and layered it in photoshop. Even though I feel like I learned so much more than I knew before, there's still so much to learn!

We have been painting and creating things around the house. When my sister finishes her painting, I'll share it with you guys. It's really good! She's going to be a much better artist than me. (:

Service

This year in youth group, we have been focusing on different topics that are necessary as Christians (we're on our second topic now!). The first topic we focused on was prayer and now we are transitioning into service. We had Miss Ann come speak to us on serving and I wanted to share the main three points of her seminar.

The three main points were:

1. Serving = devotion (relationship with Jesus)
2. Authentic Christian life must involve a lifestyle of serving
3. When we serve others, we are whispering with ours cations "you are worthy to be loved." (Serving can be picking up trash at church, washing the dishes for your family, cleaning the bathroom, etc.)

Before we can give to others, we must first receive what God has in store for us. If I try to give without first receiving the love from our Father, I find myself running low on love, patience, and joy. I am learning that it is important to guard my relationship and time with God. Before I can help others, I must be secure in my relationship with Jesus. I also saw this quote a few weeks ago and it was a good reminder for me - "You can do anything, but you can't do everything."

Overall, I thought her seminar was really encouraging as she shared the joys and struggles of serving! I hope this encourages you to keep serving the Lord in all that you do. If you don't know how to serve  others, ask God and he will definitely show you the ways you can serve others. (:

Laying it Down

Although I had not planned on going, I attended a seminar/message by Pastor Shin titled "Introduction to Spiritual Warfare." He urged us to lay down the worldly weapons we use about to bring change that we want.

The seven he listed were the following:

1. anger & rage
2. bitterness & unforgiveness
3. slander & gossip
4. jealousy & envy
5. self hatred & condemnation
6. despair & suicide
7. selfish ambition

In his message, he made an argument that in the world, we use these weapons when we want to bring about change. However, these weapons do not bring about good change in the world. As I listened to the message and as he went down the list, I thought that I wasn't really an angry or bitter person. However, he told a story of his daughter (maybe it was his son). His child was sick and had the fever for  a few days, but he wasn't concerned since it was less than 100 degrees. However, it persisted. His wife informed him that having a low persistent fever was as life threatening as having a high fever. Through that experience, Pastor Shin learned that low grade anger, bitterness, forgiveness, etc. was poisonous as well. 

Through attending this, I was really encouraged to lay down any weapons that I may be holding onto and to really pray for others. He shared a funny story of how God would place people to pray for during his college years. When God placed the people in his heart, he would pray for them for hours throughout the whole week. Then during a Friday meeting he attended, he would see the people show up! During the service/prayer, he phrased her - "a short Asian girl" would walk up to the person he was praying for and pray for them. As a result, the person would cry and she would get all the credit for praying for them. And then he said - "what do you do with a girl like this? I married her." This really encouraged me to really start praying for others because when we pray, God hears and answers our prayers. I believe that when we pray, God moves. Let's pray and have greater expectations because God will do big things in the months to come! Death can come at any moment, but so can life.

First Message

It's hard to believe that we're already nearing the end of semester and the year. At the beginning of the school year, our church chooses what we we call a "key verse" for the new year. It's usually a verse you want to hold onto for the upcoming year. For 2014, I chose 2 Timothy 4:2, "Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage - with great patience and careful instruction." Throughout my freshman year, I felt that God wanted me to share the gospel - the good news, with others. Although I struggled to be bold about my faith, I believe the Lord was preparing me and equipping me throughout that season. Last year, he was calling me to just sit in his presence. However, this year, He was now calling me to go forth. I chose 2 Timothy 4:2 as my 2014 key verse, not knowing what the Lord had in store for me. As the fall semester began, I joined the youth group once again, not just as a member, but as a teacher. It has been difficult at times to lead and teach, but God has been teaching me a lot through it. I gave my first ever message to the youth group last Sunday! I believe that the gospel has the power to save and transform lives - and my hope is that others, too, may believe and be saved by the power of the gospel.

I also wanted to share what I wrote on instagram on my blog as well:

I believe God has put in my heart the love to create things. As I was thinking, the song "create in my a clean heart" came into my mind. I realized that the older I get, the more difficult it is to be pure/clean. However the lyrics say "create in me." When you create, you bring forth what was not there before. As we ask God to create things within us, we're asking Him to form things that are not already in us. God's words have absolute power that when He speaks, He creates. As I create things, I get to see glimpses of who God is as the creator God. 

Sufficient

Last week I was a bit overwhelmed with all the work that I needed to do. On Saturday, I chose to go hiking, but it turned out to take much longer than I anticipated. We left around 9:00 in the morning and came home around 5:30. While hiking down the trail from the top of the mountain, I had some time to myself to think and enjoy the view. While I was thinking, I realized that God is sufficient; he is enough. This is an analogy that may not make sense, but in BSCI207, we learned about sufficiency in relations to genes. If a gene is sufficient, it can be removed and inserted in a different part of the embryo and the gene will still be expressed. For example, the gene bicoid is responsible for the formation of the anterior part of the body (the head). But if it is inserted to the posterior end of the body, the organism will have an additional head (this was done on fruit flies). The presence of the gene is enough to produce a head in development. In the same way, I realized that God is sufficient. I don't need anything or anyone else to lean on. If God calls me to do something, He will make a way and he will help me. Even though I have much to do, I choose to trust Him, believing that He is sufficient.

NYC

Last weekend my friends I went to visit Preethi in NYC. We planned to visit last winter, but somehow our plans fell apart and we couldn't go. We saved our tickets for later (I'm so thankful we could save the tickets), and we were finally able to go! We left Friday around four o'clock and arrived back in College Park at eight Sunday morning. A lot of time was spent in traveling, but it was a nice break after my first round of midterms. Since I don't get to see Chris & Vinona very often (even though we go to the same school) it was so nice to spend the weekend with them, catching up on what's been going on in our lives. I'm also thankful that although it was drizzling Saturday morning, it cleared up to be a beautiful day. We went to the Chelsea Market, Soho, Brooklyn Bridge, Time Square, and Grand Central Station. I really liked the Brooklyn Bridge and Grand Central Station. They were so pretty! Visiting NYC made me wonder if I wanted to or could live in the city. It's interesting to think about where I will end up in five, ten, twenty years. Only God knows right now. I could be living right here in College Park, in another state, or even country. It's exciting to experience all the things God has in store for my life now and in the years to come! 

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip:

This was from Chelsea Market. For some reason, I just really like this picture.

Love this picture of Vinona.

It was raining in the morning, but it cleared up to be a beautiful day.

The girls!

The city that never sleeps.

New Lens

God's funny.

He always seems to work in ways that I don't expect him to. During Grace Retreat someone prayed for me and she told me that God would give me a new lens to see God's love for people in a new way. At that point I interpreted that as, "God's going to give me a new perspective to see people in another way." In the past two months, God not only gave me one new lens, but two!

During the Summer Bible Conference, an accident occurred and my 85mm prime lens fell and broke. Despite the tragedy, I felt the peace of God. Through this accident, I got to trade the broken 85mm f/1.8 for the 50mm f/1.4 lens because they were around the same price. To be honest, I had wanted to buy the 50mm f/1.4 by the end of the summer. Although the 85mm prime lens was one of my favorite lenses so far, I love the 50mm prime too. It gives a more softer look than the 85mm. So I had the 50mm for the rest of the conference and about one more week or so. While I was filming while I was at work, my lens fell slow mo to the ground while on a tripod. Even though it was like 2 feet from the ground on a mat, it still wouldn't autofocus anymore! I was really sad because my family was going to Toronto that week and I wouldn't have been able to take nice pictures. And through this tragedy, I borrowed the 15-85mm lens from Esther. And after coming back from the trip, I bought the lens from her. And after a month, I finally got my prime lens fixed and I love it!

I never expected to have such sudden changes in my equipment, but I'm so thankful. Although it was kind of painful to go through, God knew that I really wanted the 50mm prime lens. It was sad letting the 85mm go, but the 50mm prime is definitely a better fit for my camera at the moment. (:

This semester's such an exciting journey!

Summer

At the beginning of this summer, I had no idea what this summer was going to be like. Honestly, I worried what I was going to do with more than three months of summer vacation. While a lot of my peers had internships and jobs lined up for the summer, I had no plans. A few months before summer vacation started, I began to ask God to provide summer plans for me. As I look back on this summer, I am extremely thankful for all the ways that God provided over the summer. God never fails to provide when we seek Him! I've seen over and over again how God provides in His perfect timing - financially, knowledge, etc.

This summer I (so I don't forget!):

• attended Grace Retreat as a photographer and as a young adult track member
• got a car from my parents!!
• took more than 200 GB of pictures
• I ended up taking a lot of family portraits, which was a really good experience for me.
• I learned more about event photography by photographing Grace Retreat and Abby & Maddy's first birthday party
• helped out at the Elephant school (church day care)!
• volunteered at the In & Out Surgery Department at Providence Hospital with Luke
• tutored Luke some geometry & algebra
• attended the Mid-Atlantic Summer Bible Conference
• learned more about designing tshirts, typography, and Adobe Illustrator
• made a reflection video with Susan + Hannah!
• learned so much about video editing that I never knew
• visited Toronto with my family
• made a video for the gym! 
• (This is one of the two that I made of the series. Also learned a lot about video editing from this experience.)
• went to the gym
• became a youth group teacher

It's hard to believe that school has already started. I think I'm still in summer mode. 

Soli Deo Gloria

A little more than a month ago, I wrote about creativity and how all the glory belongs to God. And since then, it's been such an exciting journey! God opened doors to things that I never thought I was interested in or dared to even try. I attended the prophecy seminar at Grace Retreat and I was really touched by what my partner spoke over me. Ben Armstrong told us to get a taste of the person - and my partner said that she tasted butter. She told me that butter is in all kinds of food - adding flavor to it. She said that in the same way, my creativity will add flavor to many things. It was really encouraging to hear. Since then, God has also been giving me amazing opportunities throughout the summer to be able to serve through my talents. There have been so many opportunities to photograph families and I definitely learned a lot from these experiences (some pictures can be found here)

Also, there have been limits that I consciously and subconsciously have placed for myself. However, God's been surpassing these limits and have been placing new things into my heart. Recently, I've been interested in design and typography (I didn't know you could download free fonts online until a few weeks ago!). I learned that with Adobe Illustrator you can scan an image you drew on paper and just trace it. Then it'll be an electronic file. How cool is that? And this summer has been full of video projects. This is one of the boundaries I wasn't trying to cross. I told myself I was a photographer, not a videographer and that videos took too much work. But now I am involved in a fitness video project at the Eppley Recreation Center! I'm excited for greater things God has in store for all of us as we learn more.

Also, my camera equipments have been going through a roller coaster right now but I am trusting God that good things will come out of brokenness (broken lenses).

(I was randomly reflecting on my blog title and I realized how fitting it is. Walking with the Lord is such a journey - a journey full of all kinds of emotions, but with full hope and confidence in Him. It's never like I quite imagined it to be, but it's exciting walking with God!)

Grace Retreat (Part 2)

Above is a well-made recap video of Grace Retreat 2014 by Jerico. He did such a great job capturing the main points of each speaker!

At the retreat, I learned a lot from Pastor Stephen Chandler's seminar and message. The seminar, titled "Death by Distraction," was based on Judges 4 when Gideon fought the battle with only 300 soldiers. I learned that God prefers to work with 300 people who has his heart rather than 10,000 people who don't know his heart. Pastor Stephen emphasized the importance of knowing what gifts we receive as Christians because if we don't know what gifts we are supposed to receive, we won't receive it. As Christians, we are not called to fight people, but we are called to fight against the lies the enemy has established in our world.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)

I really liked when Pastor Stephen said, "Grace Retreat is where God taught me how to war. God will teach you how to war - how to fight for people." Our life isn't supposed to be easy and comfortable here on earth - that's what heaven is for. We are not civilians, but soldiers for the Kingdom of God. And here are the three main points he made:

To be an effective soldier, you need to:

1. Remain focused. There are so many Christinas abandoning what god has in store for them because they forget that they are not a civilian. They are soldiers, but they forget what they were fighting for. Gideon's soldiers who went home because they were afraid forgot that they were slave at home. As soldiers, God has called us to fight for others. 
2. Remain alert. Do not compromise on your relationship with God. I learned that the relationship I have with God is far greater than anything else.
3. Remain fearless. Everybody encounters fear, but how do we deal with it? Go to God. 

Faith of a Centurion

This was from today's early morning prayer meeting!

Matthew 8: 8-10

“The centurion replied, ‘Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go.’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this.’ and he does it.”

I wonder how the centurion must have felt when Jesus told him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.” The Bible rarely mentions the phrase that  Jesus was amazed; and whenever it does mention that Jesus was amazed, it was always due to great faith or lack of faith.

In verse 5, a Roman centurion came to Jesus, asking for help. He was not an ordinary citizen - he was a centurion, a high ranked Roman soldier in charge of 100 soldiers. He knew his power and authority very well, but in this circumstance he was helpless. He came to Jesus and said, “Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” The centurion had two confessions. First, he acknowledged that Jesus was Lord. By confessing this, he believed that Jesus had power and authority over him. Second, the centurion acknowledged that the servant was paralyzed and he could do nothing to save him. He had no faith in his ability to help his servant. His faith was not in himself, but was fully on Jesus and Jesus’ authority and power to heal. “The centurion replied, ‘Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go.’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this.’ and he does it.” This amazed Jesus and then Jesus told the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would” and it was done.

The centurion believed that Jesus’ words had authority and could heal his servant - he had great faith in Jesus. We see that all Jesus required was faith and obedience in order to work through the centurion. In the same way, Jesus does not have a list of qualifications we must meet before he uses us or does miracles through us. Instead he requires faith and obedience. But often times when God calls me to do something, I first look at my qualifications. If I feel qualified, I’ll do it, but if I don’t feel qualified, I struggle to accept what God calls me to do. However, I must put my faith not in myself, or my abilities, but fully on Jesus, trusting that he will fulfill the promises he has given me. Although God calls each of us to do different things occupation wise, but he calls each one of us to have faith in Him. Despite the circumstances we may see in front of us, we have faith in God - trusting that he will fulfill the promises he has given us - not because we are able, but because God is faithful. There are promises God has given me that seems impossible when I look at my abilities. For example, I believe that God has called me to the medical path of becoming a doctor. It was easy to say before I entered college that I was going to be pre-med. However, as I entered freshman year, I was hit by the reality that college was hard, really hard. It was much harder than high school and challenged me in many ways more than just the difficulties of school work. Even though I was only a freshman in college, I felt the competitive spirit in the pool of pre-meds. For example, in curved classes as organic chemistry, it feels like while your friends want you to do well in the class, they secretly want you to fail so the curve will be in their favor and vice versa. It’s so easy to compare and see that others are already in research labs, volunteering, getting involved in clubs, and whatever else people are doing and feel behind or unqualified. In the middle of both semesters, I told God that it seemed impossible to do well in some classes - and it would be only by his grace that I was going to do well. And I can assure you, it was only by God’s grace that I did well in those classes. During my freshman year, I realized that the journey to become a doctor is long and hard and it is only possible through having faith in God alone. I have faith that if it is God’s will for me he will carry me through, not because of my abilities, but because he is faithful.

One word: have faith.

Grace Retreat (Part 1)

As always, Grace Retreat was such an encouragement to me. I loved my small group and I was encouraged by how God leads each one of us in his unique ways in our lives. All the girls in my small group were so sweet! In the past, I always saw the media team taking pictures and making videos and told myself that one day I would join the media team. And this year, I joined the team and took pictures for the Grace Retreat! I really enjoyed photographing the attendees and it was a really good experience in general (the pictures that Ann & I took can be found here).

The Grace Retreat was always a time and place where I encountered God in the past. Each year, I was encouraged by the speakers and the prophetic words spoken over me. I hope each person who attended this year had an experience with God; however  I hope that it doesn't end there. The same God we encounter at Grace Retreat is with us today because God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

Throughout the year, I've been learning (again) that Christianity is not just about reading my Bible every day, going to church, attending Bible study, etc. It's about a relationship - it's about having an intimate relationship with God, who created the heavens and the earth (which is an amazing privilege and you just have to accept His invitation!). I was actually going to write a blog post about this a few weeks ago, but I didn't and now here it is. I believe that the last school year, God was just telling me to sit in his presence. Throughout the semester I was reminded of the passage of Martha and Mary.

38 As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her. (Luke 10: 38-42)

While Martha was cleaning and preparing food for the guests, Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet. While Jesus was calling me to be like Mary, I wanted to be like Martha. I wanted to do something my freshman year - join an organization, club, do something exciting, make an impact, etc. Yet, Jesus was calling me to simply sit in his presence. However, I really struggled to just sit still and listen to his voice. Simply sitting and doing nothing seemed not that important and it was hard to set aside time to spend time with God. I was too busy running around doing things that seemed important at that time. (It reminds me how Aug used to always tell us that we had to make time to read the Bible and pray instead of wishing for more time in the day.) And as the summer began, God kept calling me to sit still and just spend time with him. Yet, I kept pushing it back. Although I knew how important it was to spend time with God, it was easy for me to keep pushing it back. Setting aside time in His presence is absolutely crucial to my relationship with God. I believe that in this place of intimacy, I will be reminded of who I am in God. I believe that God will show me the blueprints of my future directions and even more.

...to be continued

Daycare

As the spring semester ended, I was praying for summer plans. I had no idea what I was going to do with such a long summer break, considering how difficult it was for me to stay home throughout winter break. I knew I couldn't just stay at home the entire summer. It's really amazing how God gave me this opportunity to help out at the daycare/summer school for the kids. I've been amazed by how Johanna and Julia really love the kids and want them to have the best time at the daycare. I've also been amazed by how much patience they have for the kids - they help the kids use the bathroom, wash their hands, read the same books over and over again, clean up, etc. It's also rewarding having them listen. They're all learning how to share and clean up. Being at the daycare, I am learning to appreciate moms (and dads) even more. I'm also amazed at all the moms out there who take care of their children everyday. It's not a job that ever ends. They're constantly denying themselves to care for their child(ren).

Here are some photos from the daycare:

For now they communicate in Korean. I'm not sure how long this will last, but it'll be cool if they keep speaking Korean later on!

Best friends in the making?

Aw, I get to witness moments like these.

They love playing with dirt and sand!

Squirting water to help them keep cool.

Look at all the beautiful art work. I'm amazed that Johanna can tell the difference between the kids' art work.

Josiah was pretending to be the dad and Jakey was pretending to be the son for "take your child to work day".

The highest stack of chairs. 

Playing with sand means getting sand all over your body, haha.

I really enjoy listening to their conversations. They have a lot of interesting things to say.

Josiah's birthday celebration! Kisung brought all the kids a happy meal.

Gabriel really likes being in pictures.

They absolutely love playing with water!

"Look at my mustache!"
