This day and age

I just came to this pastor's kid retreat with Moses yesterday. And honestly, the ONLY reason why I came was to help my buddy Mo with leading it. This retreat is basically for pastor's kids, and it's a time where we tell them we should be proud of being a pk, and not embarrased by it. (which is honest to goodness SUCH A BLESSING to be one). I felt Mo's struggles and his love for his dad. That is why I came. But coming here, I realized there was more to why I came. I think God wanted to teach me more.
It's 8:00 a.m. and some of these kids that woke up early turned on the DVD "Same River Twice." HAHAHA wat the heck kind of movie is that. anyways, there is this nice flute, piano music playing and I was convicted to write in my blog.

Let me rewind a little. Today, I ended up waking up at 4:30 a.m. and going for a morning jog. And I honestly have to say, God is amazing. the campsite is near big bear and there is this small lake next our cabins. I'm running in my kennedy shorts and my hairs are pointing out like spikes because it's pretty chilly. But I love it. the sun is still black/ light blue and you hear birds flirting with one another. I'm guessing it's mating season? I'm running now and I realize that I definately lost a lot of weight and it's easier on my knees. ANDDDD my belly and man boobs dont jiggle. they're firm now like rocks. PRAISE THE LORD. Then I'm coming back when I see one of the pastor's walking on his morning walk and I insisted I walk with him. We start talking about the Church and he ended up telling me this one quote that really moved me. He said that there is a famous writer that said as a Christian in this generation, you need to have a Bible in on hand, and a newspaper in the other. I realized that this was perfectly what my heart wanted to express. I wanted to share the gospel, but in a way that would connect to the lost generation or the lost community that many Christians fail to reach out to. We are awlays focusing on the Bible on the right hand, that we fail to use our empty left hand to support our thoughts and actions.

We even started talking about how there isn't really a church growth these days (especially in the Korean community) but more of a transfer growth. Meaning churches don't grow, but we just switch the members around. And that is so true. and.. I can write about the conversation for another 3 pages,

but ALL IN ALL
I just wanted to give a shout out to my God and my Lord and Savior--JESUS CHRIST... Thanking him for everything he's done for us and that we should be more aware of his greatness and beauty. And definately be the servants that he wants us to be and have him use BOTH our hands to evangelize, instead of just one.
Let's us keep our eyes on the real prize, no matter how physically small your eyes can be. like me. -_-

o and this is a short clip of the younger kids waking up HECKA early to play basketball. these fooz ARE CRAZY HAHAH!


and that's all he said.
