In God’s time, in God’s way
-about the story of Joseph in the OT

This week is passion week. I feel like I’ve been so distracted that I haven’t been able to be reflective much. Let’s make an effort to remember our Lord this week leading up to Good Friday and Easter
Gray to Grace (reblogged)
I opened my eyes this morning to a
gray sky above
gray snow below
got into a gray car
drove on a gray road.
Got out of the car. Got into the church. Got on my knees.
I opened my eyes and found
everything
seemed
brighter.
New day. New grace. New eyes.

Seasons Change
Unlike seasons that change at specified times every year, we go through seasons changes in our lives at varying intervals. It’s an interesting phenomenon to be a part of, and its great to know that we are entering into new phases in life. To know we’ve matured through time and not the same as just a year ago. It’s both scary and exciting; the unknown future scares us but the newness is welcome to break our mundane.
I felt this upcoming year, rest of 2010 and 2011, would be one of many changes. I feel I’m right at the door looking in….
One thing I pray that never changes… my wayward heart’s devotion to Christ
DMX - Lord give me a sign
My first post since the end of busy season… I gotta say, busy season sucked… bad… I was busy since late Feb./early March, and was working till 9pm on average mid week. We started working weekends in April, May, June. We thought we’d finish our audit by mid June, July latest but we actually filed just 2 weeks ago…. so my main thought after busy season: should I continue to work here? I honestly feel I shouldn’t. I spend so much time at work that I don’t end up having much time to do much else. It prevented me from meeting up with people mid week, going to Small group, riding my bike, going to the gym (at times). It reduced my free time to weekends and so often, I found myself finding weekends too short… I felt stressed often, but perhaps that was more due to the Senior (who guides my work) and not the work itself. So when I often got stressed, what could I do? I’d look forward to weekends when I could just forget about work and let loose. But that kinda lifestyle led to the weakening of my spiritual life.
So should I stay? Perhaps there’s every reason to leave but thanks to Swon, I was advised to pray about it. It doesn’t make much sense to nonbelievers but it makes a lot of sense to Christians. King David always asked the Lord for guidance before making a major decision. In fact, he probably asked God for all the small decisions as well as did the other heroes of the OT. My current job itself was a blessing from God himself! While I won’t detail how I got it, I know it was the Lord opening doors and opportunities for me to be here. I remember being so happy when I first found out I had received an offer with the world’s top firm. It would be wrong for me to just take for granted his blessing and throw it away. I’m sure he’d be pleased to share his will for me (although that’s a very scary thing… if you know what I mean).
So here I am asking, “Lord give me a sign!”. Yes DMX is crazy but listen to the song, its kinda catchy. And if you can, can you lift up a quick prayer too? Thanks!
Epik High - FLY
If you’re looking for a great korean group to get into, these guys are it. Some say all their songs sound the same, or that they’re over-rated. wrong. I hate music that has dumb lyrics or don’t mean anything at all. All their songs have meaning and I love how they’re not afraid to be simply them. A lot of rap music has a bunch of posers trying to be something they’re not (not saying all, of course there are the good ones) but their sound is original, bold, unique, and fresh.
So I thought I’d be working on my audit for another 2 weeks, looking with hope at the end of the tunnel… but it may not be so :( efff. We’ll be working into July it seems, altho there’s promise that July won’t be work-til-10pm hours. I’m sorry if I sound like I’m complaining b/c I really hate complainers and self-pity-partiers. Just trying to speak my mind. My attitude about work these days, it changes everyday. Some days, it sucks sooo bad (like yesterday) and I put on all kinds of sad-pants. Others, not too bad, like today. My energy levels, which affect my mood, have much to do with that. But all in all, this kinda prolonged work of long hours, I must say, is unGodly. Yes! I dare to say it! It sure has done a number to me spiritually.But yea, I’m not depressed. I’m ok, just… want to be done :P get back to life, priorities, enjoy the summa a lil.
So if you’re having a “bad day” (by Daniel Pewter), then I hope this song encourages you. I love the lyrics. PS-sorry for the music video, its kinda morbid and sad haha. Just listen to the song, I myself saw the mv first time today.
PS2- Kobe… you gotta take game 3 tonight son… Lakers tonight!
힘들죠? (힘들죠) 오늘도 잔인한
세상은 너를 비웃고
거울앞에서도 기죽고
또 홀로 술잔을 비우고
don’t know where to go
단 한번의 실수로 모든것을 잃고
고개를 숙일땐 손을 모아
날개를 피고 you can fly
눈을 뜨며 맞는 아침
똑같은 방향뿐인 삶의 나침반
만만한 세상에 쉽게
무릎꿇고 쉴새 없이 신세
타령만 아련한 옛 꿈을 쫓던 가련한
두팔로 화려한 날개를 피고 you can fly
You Can Fly (누가 뭐래도)
higher (나는 절대로)
저 하늘위에 새들보다 (내 꿈을 포기못해)
You Can Fly (누가 뭐래도)
Higher (나는 절대로)
단 하나뿐인 그대와 나 (내 꿈을 포기못해)
Fly (My Baby) 세상이 뭐라고 말해도
Fly, fly, get em up high,
누가 뭐래도 가라고 go go
Fly (My Baby) 사랑이 널두고 떠나도
Fly, fly get em up high…
Fly 그대가 가진것은 없어도
You Can Fly 사랑이 차갑게 널 버려도
You Can Fly 아픈가슴에 숨이 멎어도
You Can Fly You got to fly sky high!
눈을 뜨고 바라봐도 빛은 없고
꿈을 꾸며 살아가도 길은 멀고
내 뜻대로가도 숨을 몰아 쉬었고
진실을 말해도 돌아섰죠
아직도 찾는것을 못찾았고
아무도 너를 사랑하지 못한다고
낙오감에 빠져도 Never die
날개를 피고 Let’s go everybody Fly!
You Can Fly (누가 뭐래도)
higher (나는 절대로)
저 하늘위에 새들보다 (내 꿈을 포기못해)
You Can Fly (누가 뭐래도)
Higher (나는 절대로)
단 하나뿐인 그대와 나 (내 꿈을 포기못해)
Fly (My Baby) 세상이 뭐라고 말해도
Fly, fly, get em up high,
누가 뭐래도 가라고 go go
Fly (My Baby) 사랑이 널두고 떠나도
Fly, fly get em up high…
괜한 한숨에 지워지는 단한번의꿈
몇만번의 시도위에 갈라서는 문
눈을 뜨며 살아감에 보여 희망의 연기가
모두 털어날려버려 비관의 먼지 다
역시 나도 때론 괜한 겁이나
천천히 가 왜 꿈을 쉽게 버리나
때론 낮게나는 새도 멀리봐
어두운 밤일수록 밝은별은 더 빛나
