Growing up, I was taught to achieve greater things than my parents. To have a more comfortable life and to enjoy the fruit of my education. I think that’s the whole idea of the second generation Korean…that our parents have sacrificed for our futures.
But the more and more I have been able to share with my parents, I've grown to admire them as much as I respect them - that I would be able to sacrifice for my children and teach them to sacrifice for their own. I believe that the greatest testament to my relationship with the Lord is how He has molded my relationship with my parents to not only honour them but to trust and truly look to them as examples in my life. And I think that's probably why I have such a burden for those brothers and sisters who are seeking Christ-like examples in their lives. For all of them, I really pray that the Lord will work in their parents and use them to minister to their children. For all others, I hope my words and my actions point to God and reflect His character.
Happy anniversary umma & appa!!!

Quick update from work!
I really enjoyed the retreat this past weekend. I think what made it extra special was that my three favourite 88/89 girls came. It was a really fun time of crappy food, cold weather, and sleepless nights.
Work is getting better everyday.
Day 1: 1.5 hours of paper shredding
Day 2: 1/2 hour of paper shredding
Day 3: 0 hours of shredding
But in all seriousness, I love this job. Everyone is really great and they treat me with a lot of respect which is something that you rarely find as a non-senior.
My office is fantastic…I'll upload pictures later…but let's just say…HUGE VIEW of Ottawa River :)
I've been making my lunch everyday and find that I'm eating more than usual. I'm so full that I might burst. Issue may be:
1. Tight pants
2. Overzealous lunch packing: salad, sandwich, carrots, snack pack, granola bar….yeahhh…plus yogurt and coffee from breakfast
3. All of the above
Actually I think what happens is that I start eating my breakfast at around 10 or 10:30 and then it sort of just overlaps with my lunch…so I find myself eating for about 3 consecutive hours. BAD.
