Putting it in his hands.
April 13, 2008
Ever since I came to Korea my life has been an adventure. From the many ups and downs..I have experienced much and yet I still have much more ahead. Nevertheless, I started this website for a specific reason..and I no longer have this reason to continue posting blogs. From now on, I will keep a private journal of my experiences here, and all of the paths God will take me. However, tomorrow is not promised..and our worries, doubts, fears are all things that God can handle. I trust in him wholeheartedly. I trust him that he will work out the situations in my life that I have no control over…and in his way do I find peace. I sincerely feel that every moment is precious..and I wanted to give thanks to all who have supported me.
To My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ:
You are my rock and my strength.
Without you..
I am nothing.
without your grace
I am lost.
I am clueless in this cynical world without your guiding voice and compassionate life-giving guiding hand. Everyday is a wonder and I am amazed at your eternal love..how much you sincerely love and care for… me.. in such a profound implicit way. I look to you for my future, my present, and understanding my past. Your prescence has been there for me when all have gone…you carry me when I am weak..support me when my feeble body can no longer sustain. I dedicate my all to your name and passionately carry the joy of representing your cross. Daily I am overwhelmed and humbled.. let it be my life’s goal to seek your way. Not my way will I succeed…but only your way is there hope. You are my hope and without you I am nothing. I love you Lord…in my shephard I find peace and love. I owe you my all. With all that I am I humbly, undeservedly proclaim in your name.. Thankyou.
Dad: You are an amazing person and even though I could not understand you for a long time.. I see the earnestness in your heart and the humanity in your actions. Even though the world has been tough..you have always endured and persisted diligently. You have my respect, my love, my appreciation. I would not be the man I am today without your guidance.
Mom:
You are my heart and my laughter. I love you wholeheartedly..and I cannot feel anything but gratitude for all you have sacrificed for me and Warren. You are my one true angel in this world and without your love and support life would have been..so disappointing. Thankyou mom and I will always try my best until my last breath to fulfill the hope and potential you have given me…and to bring you an ounce of happiness that you have given me will only allow profound joy. I owe my best to you and you will always be the rhythym my heart dances to. Your love and guidance is priceless.. worth more than all the gold and materialism in the earth.. I love you.
Warren:
No one on this planet knows me and understands my personality sincerely like you. Ever since I was a baby..you have been the dominant figure in my life. From beating me up as a kid.. to teaching me how to be cool in high school.. you will always be someone I respect and treasure as a role model in shaping who I am. Even though we had our hard times.. I sincerely look forward to seeing you again and developing that relationship with you that I miss terribly. Thanks man.. you are my only other me.
Andy:
Not a day passes that you don’t cross my mind. I still remember all the times we shared together..how you took me under your arm and treated me like a brother. Even though our blood is not the same..we are brothers..and I look forward to the day I can see your face again. I love you man and this world is less without you… moo goo for life.
Daniel:
Even though we really didnt get a chance to know each other growing up.. I still really respect you as a person and as blood. Thanks a lot for being there for me and Warren.. I sincerely hope to get to know you more in the future.

Dan, Eunice, Dah-Hae, Robbie, Chasity, Eun-sil, Luke, Dan Oh, and the rest VKUMC. Thanks for the support..just wanted to say thanks!!
Sulkiro:
Thanks so much for your support and your interesting conversation topics that we have shared. I remember the first time I heard of you..i read a postcard you sent. Reading your words and the flowing descriptive sentences, I remember vividly having an insight into the unique individual behind the ink. I sincerely regret not having the opportunity to have met you in person.. I think it would have indeed been great! However, I believe that your genuine attitude and frankness about the world makes you unique, and I hope you continue to always express your perspectives to the world in all of its vivid hues. You will always be the x-factor that life desperately needs sometimes. And your boyfriend seems like a really great guy!
Thanks for all who have read my blogs..and I look forward to seeing you guys soon!!
Be safe. B E Z!
