last sunday was the last service of our church…but this sunday we met at the church again for another last service. kind of funny, but i think it was good. so so happy that starting a new church is not rushed any more. i get to keep working with English ministry so for me it’s not new ministry. but the adults will start looking for a new pastor. i’m hoping for lots of prayer and all voices being heard this time! all things DO happen for the best!!!

today was the day i had been told about few months ago when i was hired: last day of church on its 38th anniversary. service felt sad…lots of emotions from everyone, including the preacher who wiped her tears a couple times during the sermon. honestly, parts of the service reminded me of a funeral rather than a celebration of God’s blessings for the past 38 years. but then the birthday cake for the church after the service reminded me that even though today’s service marks an end of an era, it’s also opening up space for a new beginning.
personally, my day was filled with drama. i woke up being unsure about what i was going to do starting next week. then i felt sure the right thing to do was to take a break since i didn’t get a green light from God. but then later in the afternoon, i came to see that for me, it’s as much quitting current ministry i am involved in as it is not starting new ministry if i don’t show up next sunday.
all in all, for every day, esp every sunday since december 13th 2009, i am thankful for, because being part of the church that closed today changed my life.
important sunday

today is a very meaningful sunday. next week, we’re having a joint sunday with Korean Ministry. so this sunday is the last sunday we meet together as English Ministry of our church. it’s weird for me even though i’ve only been part of the church since december. it must be really weird for those who have grown up in this church. going to service this morning with open arms…leaving everything up to God. preaching on forgiveness today. a message i need myself. preaching it to myself as well as others. we can forgive only because we were forgiven.

i couldn’t believe how much i love my job and enjoy every aspect of my job. and everything about my job seemed perfect, perfect for me. then i looked at my credit card bill. i was happy that i was getting paid anything at all. then i realized i’m not making nearly enough money to pay my bills. so conclusion? need to get another a part time job or win the lottery or something. too bad my dream job doesn’t pay enough for me to pay for my bills and that it’s a part time job. i mean, i liked the fact that it was a part time job. it’s hard to live on a part time pay though. oh well. time to buy a lottery ticket or something…
