because of Jesus, even though i want to give up ... i endure.
because of Jesus, even though things get hard ... i know i can persevere.
my patience levels are waivering, but i'm learning through being here what it means to be in full surrender. having little direction and no definite plans, life is quite different than i'm used to. planning and hoping things will go my way is how i've lived for the majority of my life. when i don't feel like being warm and welcoming, selfishness becomes the ugly in me. there's a lot i don't feel like doing while i'm here. or i had hoped things were a bit different, but there's no use in that.
not always hearing from people back at home... is a struggle.
but those who do keep in touch i appreciate, especially my dad.
he emails, calls on skype, sends pictures - i held onto a lot of grude growing up towards him. but i know as one who also has made mistakes that my Heavenly Father has let go of such things... so i should be able to as well. and i think i am realizing through Jesus i can. i tell him my struggles and prayer and praise topics, something i would never have done before. (사랑해 아빠~)
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14
even though i don't always hear from friends, i know we're all in the places we are for a reason. personal growth and time with different kinds of people in different kinds of environment --- it's all for a reason, so i'm holding onto that. [ t r u s t ] that they are always there, even if not in the physical, friendships don't go on pause just because of time/distance ( r i g h t ? ! ) i hope so... haha nah, i know so [ c: ]
