***UPDATE TIME!!! (seems like i'm following the general cycle of updating twice a year, meaning something interesting happens in my life twice a year? hehe :) )

bg1280x800

Psalm 23:1-3, 6

 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

 3 he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.

 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.

 

so what happened big enough for me to UPDATE? hehe

(following kinda taken from an e-mail)

I've made my decision to go into Pharmacy. :)
 
it may sound kinda random, but let me tell you God's shown me so much of his faithfulness through this decision making process  for the past what, like 3-4 years? hehe :)
 
u all know I've always been in the "confusion" stage about my career path.  Yes, I was always generally in the direction of going into medical school, but so many times I wandered around looking for other things, never finding the right one and always coming back to medicine. 
 
Well this time, I can't exactly put into words what it is that gives me this assurance that I have finally come to choose the right path, but I know that this is where God's leading me to. Funny it wasn't even anything special how I came to consider pharmacy seriously as my career choice -- it was just some friends going into pharamcy.. like bj..eh-hem~ haha... encouraging me to think about it. But everything just seemed to fall into their place as I was planning towards pharmacy, it made perfect sense all of a sudden.
 
 
My vision and goal in life, was not to be a doctor who heals sick people, but was to be someone who could open people's closed and wounded hearts to God's abundant love, and by listening to them, sharing their pains and sorrows and embracing them, lead them closer to God.  I had always envisioned doing that through the means of being a doctor -- healing them physically so that I can also heal their soul.  But at the same time, i always knew it didn't necessarily have to be a doctor to do that. I even knew that being a doctor could make me too busy healing them physically that I might not have the time to do what I really want to do.  I guess my pride and ambitions were involved in wanting to be the best and highest of what I can be with a bio degree from undergrad.  Now that I think about it, it doesn't matter what secondary identity (career) i have, but that thru my career that I love God, and fulfill my life vision through it.
 
Imagining myself as a pharmacist, I think I am still fulfilling that part of me of wanting to help others and being able to medically aid them.  I am also making a full use of my bio/chem knowledge from college and my interest in human body and the science.  I love the fact that I will be more flexible with time as a pharmacist to invest in relationships in people in my life.  I also like how i could still be working at a hospital as a clinical pharmacist to see patients and aid the doctors in making decisions for the patients, as well as the option of working at a retail pharmacy like Walgreens.  Medical missions is still a possibility as a pharmacist, and that is one thing I really didn't want to let go... but either way, whether i'll be a goer or sender I'll be a missionary for God in some way, and being a pharmacist is one of the ways~ :)    I can't deny the fact that pharmacists make a lot... enough that if I had to, I could be working part-time and still make enough. :)  From talking to people in the field, they all say it's a great job for a woman, and they enjoy it a lot~ :)
 
So with God's grace and leading, as well as some of these detailed reasons why pharmacy would be a good choice for me, do you all approve? hehehe :)
 
 
I just want to thank all of you, for always keeping me in you prayers, and thank you especially that u've prayed for my MCAT.  Sorry to disappoint you by changing my path, but it was becuase of all your sincere prayers for me that I could see where God was leading me, and I trust that this decision that I made is where God will bless me :)
 
So then, this determines my plans for this upcoming summer, and year: I plan to take PCAT in June 23rd, 2007, and I am taking some summer courses at Parkland to fulfill some requirements.  I will look for a job as a Pharmacy Technician (as jangmi's doing right now) at Walgreens for next school year, as I apply for entering into a pharmacy school in Fall of 2008. 
 
praying girl
 
Please keep praying for me as I walk this new path, and follow God's call in whichever way he will lead me from here onwards.  I'm sooooo excited!! :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
with all that said, I guess that concludes that I'm staying.. :) 
 
so~ I NEED to FIND a PLACE to stay for next school year~!!! Is anyone looking for a roommate or know a place in need of someone to live in?? hehe LET ME KNOW!!
 
nice house
this kinda house'd be nice~  hehe 
 
 
That was a long entry..
 
looking forward to one more year of :

what a blessing easter weekend

One thing I learned n realized was that i would only hear God's voice clearly when i've given up or surrendered what i'm holding so tightly onto... my future career, specifically as i've been praying for God's guidance in this these days.  BUT what does it really mean, in a practical sense, to "surrender" my future to him, I WANT TO but I DON'T know HOW...   God, show me what it means to surrender my all to u...! I know u can! :)

so here's my devotion reading for today from Oswald Chambers.. and I know this is exactly what i needed, but yet I'm not too sure I completely understand.... can someone help me out here? hehe

 

NECK or NOTHING

John 21:7

 

"....Have you deliberately commited your will to Jesus Christ?  It is a transaction of will, not of emotion; the emotion is simply the gilt-edge of the transaction.  If you allow emotion first, you will never make the transaction.   Do not ask God what the transaction is to be, but make it in regard to the thing you do see, either in the shallow or the profound place.

If you have heard Jesus Christ's voice on the billows, let your convictions go to the winds, let your consistency go to the winds, but maintain your relationship to him."

 

It's my sincere prayer that as I go thru this period of making a "decision" or a "choice" of my near future, whether it be med school, grad school, or something radical (?), that I would not just focus on getting the "answer" to make the right choice, but that I would be able to grow thru what God wants to teach me, to surrender it all to Him, who knows me better than anyone in this world, and has a perfect plan for me!  many times i just selfishly wish that He straight out told me He will USE me this way and that way so follow this path.. but I guess that would make us nothing more than a robot..?  I'm thankful He's teaching me to have faith, even when things are cloudy.  :) 

I could just sense God will do crazy things in my heart over Lock-in,, or I'm desperately praying for Him to..?  

"The world has YET seen what God can do in the life of someone (a woman) totally devoted to Him"  - Dr. Ajith Fernando

AMEN! :) I shall strive to be "totally devoted" to Him as I seek His Will in my life~

Spring break 06 in Miami South Beach was short but SWEET ~ :) enjoyed the sun at the beach a lot~~!!  a nice getaway from the cOLd!! isn't it about time for spring to come??
 
 
Reading thru Romans has been really good~ :) we made a commitment to read Romans during break among the girls~ n that's kept me accountable to read it~ hehe even at the beach while tanning under the dazzling Miami sun~ :)
 
"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurancce.  And endurance develops strenth of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation.  And this hope will not lead to disappointment.  For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love."     (Romans 5:3-5)
 
"...the Spirit helps us in our weakness.  We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.  And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, becuase the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will."  (Romans 8:26-27)
 
 
 
pictures from Miami on their way~ to be posted up soon~ :)
 
gotta get to sleep.... what a wonderful way to end spring break~ tomorrow I'll be taking the practice MCAT!!   but Spirit helps me in my weakness~ :) hehe AMEN..!
 
  thank u Lord for keeping us safe on our trip, and for a refreshing break that motivated me to give my very best, and letting me know that I am and will be used by u~
help me to be faithful everyday, every hour, every moment

finally~ it's time for me to get back on campus.. I'll be a college student at u of i again~ yay~ (?) or boo~ (?) I'm not too sure, but one thing i missed is the "business.."  I never thought i would ever miss the busy student life of studying, staying up at grainger during finals and stuff... but i did~ haha   only those who took a semester off n stayed home would understand my desperate feelings~ :)

anyways, I'll be leaving home sweet home where my loving parents are, this friday.. only three days to go! yikes.. i dunno what to think but boy am i excited to begin my senior year!

To be honest, i've become so lazy in my walk with God the past few months i stayed in Korea.. something about staying home, is just too comfortable(?)  it's all my fault, it was me who didn't seek hard enough, i wasn't hungry enough.. and so although i have regrets and sighs looking back at this fall semester, it only leaves me with hope that it's time for me to stand up straight and follow the cross.... now that I've come to the pit bottom i have only space to go up(?) 

I'm gonna fight hard this semester~ :) with the strength that God will give me~:)

new chapter of my life waiting to open~ can't wait to find  the new me in it!

see u all soon! :)
