choinhee:

i was sitting with my sister eating dinner when she told me about this crazy tv show. i was going to write a post exactly like this, when i realized that someone else had already written it. props to you, grace.

i really like jyp = lets pray for jyp like crazy. he’s sooooo close. he basically broadcasted a missing persons advertisement for God. he is dedicating one day per week to find the creator and God is going to find him and rock him soooo hard.

ANTICIPATE, KOREA!

WATCH THE FULL THING HERE. IT GIVES ME CHILLSSSSSSSSS—> http://mydearkorea.blogspot.com/2012/05/korean-music-healing-camp-featuring.html / http://mydearkorea.blogspot.com/2012/05/korean-music-healing-camp-featuring_06.html (if you have a better link, please let me know, because I’m a video finding noob) if you have limited time, start at number 4

gracesstory:

I watched JYP Healing Camp today with my mom because one of our church members told my mom to watch it. My mom and I were so blown away and excited to see what JYP was thinking.

I’m SURE God is speaking to him. JYP doesn’t know it’s Him yet, but God will continue to pursue him. I’m sure of it because JYP has so much influence in the KPOP industry. He has the potential to evangelize to so many lost souls in Korean media.

These are some screenshots that I found online that show some of his thoughts on.. life.. I guess lol.

Basically, the caption says despite his success, he feels like it’s in vain.. there’s a void in his heart.

He states that there’s something missing which is why he feels alone and confused

OMG what he said here made me go :O He’s basically saying people can’t control their own lives and even their own bodies.. He also mentioned before that we can consciously move our fingers/extremities, but we don’t need them to move to live. Instead, we need vital organs in our bodies to continue to live.. like our heart, but we don’t consciously tell our hearts to work. It just does on its own. He’s saying that there must be someone greater telling it to work, keeping us alive. YES, YOU’RE RIGHT. GOD IS IN CONTROL OF OUR LIVES, OUR BODIES BELONG TO HIM.

He talks about his successes, but he acknowledges that it wasn’t by what HE did, not by HIS works. So he recognizes that there is someone who watched over him and protected him. (OMG HE’S SO CLOOOSEE!!)

JYP doesn’t even know who, but he’s still thankful. Thankful for being a singer, just living a thankful life.

He’s so thankful that he just opens the window, looks up at the sky and says “Thank you”

But he says that this “someone” asked him if he was just SAYING thanks.. this is so hard to translate directly, but it’s like.. “thankful only with words?” He’s talking about lip service. You can be thankful, but not do anything about it, yaknow?

And then he says that when he says thank you, the “greater being” asks him, you say you’re thankful, but you don’t come to find me?

JYP is currently on a journey to find that person that gave him life and blessed him with so many of the things he was given. God is already speaking to him, pursuing him like MAD.

PRAY FOR HIM. PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY PRAY. Korean media is such a dark dark place. I know that once JYP meets God and Jesus, he will spread God’s word. I mean, even during this interview sort of thing, the MCs treated him like he was kinda crazy.. but he persisted, vocalizing his opinions. Imagine once he gets the truth, he won’t be able to contain it. Wow, this is so exciting.

You know what’s interesting though? JYP says he’s searching everything to find this “greater being” that exists. JYP wants a RELATIONSHIP with this “greater being”. God is a relational God. He is our FATHER. He wants us to talk to him.. JYP is looking for God.

PRAY FOR HIS SOUL. HE’S ALMOST THERE. GOD WILL DO CRAZY THINGS IN HIS LIFE, TRANSFORM HIM LIKE MAD.

My mom and I were so excited while watching puhahahaha..

kay. time to sleep. lawl.

YG, too! He was on this show shortly after JYP and said he searches for a creator as well. COME ONNN, SOUTH KOREA! Holy Spirit blow in the entertainment industry! How exciting :D

6 days of morning prayer

6 things I’ve learned from 6 days of morning prayer:

My dad was a G. He went to early morning prayer pretty much every since I can remember. This also explains why he went to sleep at 10pm every night.
I can do this. Not in the boastful way, but in the “wow, I can discipline my body to get out of bed and move” way. I now have no excuses for not doing my QT. There is always time.
I can be so productive in the morning. After morning prayer, Jason and I would (usually) go home, nap, wake up, and still be just as productive the rest of the day (albeit a little groggy sometimes). How much more productive could I be if I woke up just a little bit earlier each day?
Be desperate for God. Sure, we can be cynical and think that people go to early morning prayer to “look good” in front of other people. But I choose to believe that a lot of them are there because of desperation, true understanding of their need for God, and thankfulness for God’s favor over their lives. It challenges me to be more prayerful throughout the day, not just in morning prayer.
The devil loves to attack us. Jason and I have had a lot of crazy stuff happen to us this week. Car problems, arguments, etc. There has been so much spiritual battles going on, but Jesus is victorious!
Rest is a blessing from God.

Guess who’s back?

I had a great break from Tumblr. It’s been nice having a few extra minutes to spare every day. But now I’m back because I want to write, and I want to read what another people write.

While I’ve been off Tumblr (and now even Twitter) I’ve thought a lot about social media, especially about how I as Christian should use it responsibly. I’ve come to a few conclusions. First is that it should never ever be the most important thing in my day. It should never interfere with my times with God. And if I spend too much time on it, I’m not spending my time wisely.

Second, I should be more purposeful about what I use my Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Instagram for. Is it just to look at pretty things, stalk old high school friends, and read random articles? Or is my purpose to edify the universal body of Christ and to document worship and praise.

So with these two points in mind, I’m stepping back into the world of Tumblr. I don’t think I’ll be drastically changing my habits. I’ll still reblog random sports stories or silly pictures. But I will be unfollowing accounts too, mostly those who don’t post a lot of original (especially written) content.

Here’s to a fresh new start on Tumblr!

Changes

I’ve been noticing that I’ve been spending a lot of time on social media. I’ve also observed that a lot of my social media worlds have been overlapping. For example, my tumblr and instagram feeds are pretty much the same thing.

So I’m thinking of halting my tumblr account. There were a few reasons I started a tumblr page.

1. I wanted to keep up with some of my friends. My friend Steven, for example, had epic tumblr posts about USC football. Other friends had wonderful encouraging posts about their Christian walks. But a lot of those I see on Facebook now and/or many of those people don’t use tumblr anymore.

2. I wanted to blog about my own Christian walk. But it’s not something that seems to be helpful to me. Rather oftentimes I try to think of things to write that would impress people. It’s not a good place to journal.

And so I will be on a tumblr break. From now until the end of May, I’m not going to log into tumblr and I will uninstall it from my phone. See what happens. Maybe I’ll come back? I don’t know. But I hope that with the time gained I will spend it on different ways of expressing myself and finding a way to be closer to God.
