2013 started out as a year of mourning for me.. And so many people around me experienced similar losses throughout the year. And as I recently have reflected these past few days in light of recent tragic events, I cannot mask the sorrow that comes from a loved one’s departure… That emptiness from parting goodbye leaves a lingering wound that bores at your heart and soul. But even in this pain, I think God has been reminding us that “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the passing of his Saints” -Psalm 116:15.

Prayers out to all. Prayers out to you.

I wonder what it really feels like to participate in the Olympics. Representing your country, your people. Celebrating with athletes from everywhere around the world.

“And God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise, and God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong.” - 1 Corinthians 1:27

in my life, i have come to realize that God doesn’t care where you are, who you are, or what you have done. He doesn’t care about how weak,…

war. huh. what is it good for? absolutely nothing..

BBC reports that North Korea has prepared mid-range missiles to turn Seoul into a “fiery bloodbath” tomorrow—April 10th, 2013.

I see so many people, prominently many of them living in the United States, seemingly away from harm, jokingly taunting North Korea. “They don’t have the technology, they aren’t stupid enough to start a world war and risk getting wiped out.” Or comments like “if they attack, we would just nuke em”. Maybe I am overreacting, but I feel like we aren’t treating the impending danger seriously enough. Yes, it is easy for us (myself included) to dismiss the ideas of rockets, nuclear weapons, bombs, etc. because were thousands of miles away safely “tucked” away in the western hemisphere. But what about our family members who live immediately beneath the border. What about the hundreds of millions of people in the surrounding peninsulas? All lives to be lost if such things were to regretfully occur.

I don’t know what I would do if such an attack occurred… Too many precious lives, both in the North, South, Japan, China, etc…

I can’t wait to be back home in Chicago after these long 4 years. For now, at least, I would prefer to wake up to a bustling house, with my mom making the best food in the world.

“that yearning in one’s soul for an outlet of hope, derived only from one’s lowest point of existence.”

And then to realize that a person already did that, who exists in the name of the Father, who gave up his seat briefly in heaven to die, a horrible death, for a messed up thing like me.

thanks for that. Dad.

need to write this here so i remember

Sun, 17 Mar 2013 15:10:12 -0400

im a very vivid dreamer. a couple dreams from the past few days I have remembered.

First one, my grandfather passed a few weeks ago. And of course, battling sorrow and missing out on mourning with family members took a big toll on me. The fact that his salvation was kind of uncertain also tore me apart on the inside. But I think God showed me this dream as a sign of assurance—that he is resting in heaven waiting for us. I remember seeing a glimpse of a beautiful garden, a quadrangle with beautiful flowers, old oaks, a golden pathway, and a skyblue-peach-mango tinted sky. I remember walking around, kind of clueless to where I was. Next thing I know, some laughing children run by, and out of the gate, I see my grandfather, walking strong and looking healthy. I remember kind of crying in my dream when he walked away from, giving me a simple smile and wave, as if telling me he was okay, happy, and well-rested. To me, I interpret this as a sign of comfort and assurance from God, telling us not to hurt anymore with his passing—that my grandfather is alright.

Second dream. I’ve only dreamt once that I have ever died. Last night I had my second dying dream. I was on a US Airways Flight (I never fly this airline, and now i shall continue to avoid it), and mid-flight the telecom system told the passengers that something was wrong with the plane. Next thing I knew, I was at the window seat witnessing our plane diving towards the ground. It seemed like eternity, and I remember calling my parents to tell them that I would probably not make it home. And all I remember is a huge flash, smashing my head into the seat in front of me, and of course everything goes blank. Death I assume.

Third dream. Kind of bothered me a lot. But I remember dreaming that my we moved into a new neighborhood. One of those exclusive, gated communities, containing custom built mini-mansions. But as much as this new house excited me, the dirtiest feeling came when I drove by my old house in the dream, and seeing another family inhabiting our old house. It didn’t feel right.

Weird. I dont know what to think about the last 2 dreams, other than that I should not fly US Airways, and that we shouldn’t move. haha…
