Singing Hymns of Praise...

jaesmom@hotmail.com — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 03:00:00 +0100

With all the many many verses in the bible that we have come across, of all the ones that surround music, and praise, and thanksgiving, and how our laments, and joys, sorrows and tears, all ascribe to the voice of carrying our hearts to the Father, there was one that truly truly stood out to me.

Being a avid music lover, I find little things here and there, snippets of wise and curious sayings of respectable people, but nothing that was said on earth until now, was more pr [...]

Man, Summer flew by and its already Fall!

It feels strange, and awkwardly invigorating. The start of the new school year means, new beginnings, new experiences, and most of all, memories to be cherished by friends, family, and loved ones. This year is most surprising, at least physically. The whole east coast feeling the aftereffects of an earthquake, going thru rainy season that never really seems to end from hurricanes that come through our way, and tornadoes that form to uproo [...]

Updates in Reality...

Not that the things that I post really account for a false Reality, But Just to say, what is going on in real life...

Paying it Forward... What a huge mockery it is, a coin that was termed through the glamour and glitz of Hollywood, to make an eager buck, and a few sniffles and tears of dramatic role playing. This is an over exaggerated magnification of what we are already told to do, and yet, this idea that was brought forth over 2,000 years ago [...]

Letting go...

I am a fool. I have always been foolish in the way that I think. I have these really timid moments when I feel like I can't let go of control because of my own stubbornness, and lack of faith....more in my child's ability to be safe. I don't know how my parents were able to trust me to go anywhere when I was young... But as a mom, letting my son go on a camping trip with his school classmates, was THE hardest thing I have done. &nb [...]

Empty words are normally found, in the great abyss of this juxtaposed nature of my mind, where you can often find things to say, when you least expect it. That is, you have a small area in your brain, where there are countless number of words that collect over the years, to remedy awkward moments of silence, between yourself, and a person of no particular relation, (a faceless/nameless one), to help you move through the moments that are shared between 2 strangers.

I only bring th [...]

Much of the world in this time, seems to be truly groaning at its knees, and the perplexity, complexity, and uneasiness of taking in all the hard things that have befallen our sad little world, is but a constant reminder of Christ's compelling words... "these things must happen"

As many of you already have experienced, Japan and its massive earthquake/tsunami have taken us by surprise. *not that we should be since something big was supposed to happen, like the fault [...]

CHRIST IN ME...

It had been one of the most challenging times of my life, where my spirit and my willingness to let myself be molded, collided into a pile of mush, a sticky, gooey, intolerable matter of existence, that has become a great and stupendous, very hard lesson to learn.

God, in all his marvelous, supernatural, awesome, remarkable ways, has whispered to me from time to time, "be still and know that I am God." I mean, I knew, something definitely was up inside [...]

Why do you love me, asked thrice before,

Puzzled,perplexed, confused and more,

To find a reason beyond a life,

searching everywhere leads only to strife,

Such question begins as a story from long ago,

With Joseph and Mary one couple we know.

Stories which permeated our past impale,

Reveals the glory of God detailed,

A Savior born of lowly birth,

Tucked in a manger, thought useless of worth,

&nbs [...]

Visions of sugarplums dancing...

jaesmom@hotmail.com — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 03:00:00 +0100

It is that time of the year again, when the hustle and bustle of getting ready for the holidays draws ever so close with each passing weekend, and the boisterous ruckus that comes about from the sticky sugar coated goodness of carols being blasted from grocery stores, shoe stores, clothing stores, one stop shopping stores... stores everywhere, target shopaholic holiday fiends like myself, into buying more things for more people, just because, its the holidays.

In the last few weeks, I [...]

Candlesticks....

Candlesticks....

With another year of life added figuratively for myself and for teaching, parenting, and all other hats we choose to wear, I am so thankful God has allowed me to see the things that once seemed impossible. Things that are now quite tangible and confident in nature, which were once the opposite at some point in my lofty life last year.

First for potty training thanks to my parents, my siblings for helping train our youngest 2 legged monster erect, who is stubborn a [...]

TALES FROM THE SCHOOLSIDE

jaesmom@hotmail.com — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 03:00:00 +0100

It has been a few weeks since I have last blogged, I find it refreshing, when things just take shape over time, and the course that you set yourself on, really has been set by the loving hand of God our Father. So it begins...

The life of a student, in every way imaginable, is like the tree that is planted by the loving hands of a well seasoned farmer. He picks the location with great love and care, thinking for the best interest of its future, and those that are aroun [...]

A thousand generations

I was reading through Deut. this morning, and had a great awakening, something which had provoked curiosity, and then at last, a great revelation.

"Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands." Deut. 7: 9

love is never enough, more than enough

Reflection: Love is...

Finding forgiveness even when you don't deserve it, when there are no words to say something important, it speaks volumes, when a simple smile, turns into a hearty laugh behind the innocence of a young child's embrace, promises left broken to friends that were not meant to be wronged. But behind these mysteries, lies God's unchanging hand. The power and might of one that is completely in charge is gentle and soft to the touch...

"praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy.The Lord is my strength&my shield;my heart trusts in him,& I am helped.My heart leaps for joy & I will give thanks to him in song.The Lord is the strength of his people,a fortress of salvation for his annointed one.Save your people & bless your inheritance;be their shepherd and carry them forever. Ps 28: 6-9

Quite simply, it is the greatest feeling in the whole world. When your hope and fear are at odds with [...]

August 2, 2010

Reflections for today:
No matter what things might become of my tiny unimportant life, it is through the absolute sovereignty of our Lord, that he has revealed to me, yet again, the power, and authority that is poured out on another day's worth of wanderings, thoughts, actions, and reactions. I truly believe, that in everything that is to come, we can not come to fathom the greatness God has in store for us, for the bible recounts that his thoughts about us ar [...]

Lyrical Afterthoughts by sue

Phase I

Things I want to leave behind:
For jaehan and matty:

Warm, cheerful, Kind and pure,
Innocent, curious, intelligent, secure,
Laughable, Lovable, Funny, Naive,
Never ever try to deceive,
Time flies, time passes, within a blink,
Surprising how quickly they grow or shrink

Many times I have regret not loving you [...]

too much words can overcrowd the true intention of what lays on your heart.

Be sincere in everything and willing to take criticism when offered.

Trouble is, there are many words my tiny brain allows me to find, and a million gazillion ways to show and express my heart and all thats in it.

There are times when words fail, and music truly does speak. Someone once said that.

Music eludes the mind, invigorates the senses. someone else said [...]

Creative Juice II

revoke.eunsun@gmail.com — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 03:00:00 +0100

i was told to write a blog digesting the event:

It was Saturday, and Today is Wednesday. It seems pretty far now. In the time between, God has been blessing me with love and just been speaking. Performing at Creative Juice was different than any other performance i did. One of the reason being that my church girls were in the crowd, which almost brought me to break in the middle of the poem. That poem was a journey to write, and still learning all that i have written i [...]

another passive moment

jaesmom@hotmail.com — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 03:00:00 +0100

So I am here 2,000 something miles away when my kids are neatly tucked away in the arms of family. I want it to become habitual, where they are left in the care of my family, to experience, traditional Korean Customs, but also, to be completely enveloped in experiencing God through church or Sunday School (because there isn't here), and to make lasting friends (because there weren't that many to attach them to), and create memories with loved ones along the way... I [...]

Artist who is Christian VS. Christian who is an Artist

revoke.eunsun@gmail.com — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 03:00:00 +0100

Art, a domain in which creators meet and intermingle their inventions. Art, an inhabitant infested with chaos and brillance that immediately disects one's prior thought and investigates. Art, a way to tell history, or a story. Art, my domain in which i met myself on 1am Friday mornings. Art, my inhabitant where i could intrust my secrets, bury em all beneath my carpet so oma and apa won't see me. Art, my most intimate prayers to God of who i didn't want to be. Art: i [...]
