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!!!
