Ah... It's been around 2 weeks since I came back from Boston. There's no internet access at my home, so these days I'm looking for a new place where I can access to internet everyday. Unfortunately, cafes in Pohang usually don't provide wireless internet, so it's very hard... I really miss Boston, and now I can feel that I love Boston. I was born in Seoul, lived in Pohang, but my spiritual hometown is Boston, where God raised me up.
Actually, nothing much has changed. I thought there would be more opportunity to meet people when I come back, but that wasn't true. People are busy here, and even people who are not busy pretend as if they are busy. Hmm... interesting... It's so interesting to look at Korean people from the perspective of Korean-American (I don't know whether I'm Korean-American or not :) but I feel so). I recognized that I look at normal things as if they are abnormal, such as ordering Americano at Starbucks in Korean.
I can find myself being afraid of something. I haven't figured what that 'something' is until now, but I keep asking to myself. What am I so afraid of? Wanting to put a new sentence in my mission statement, which is 'Do not fear something you haven't faced yet', but I figured out practicing the statement is very hard. Human are born to fear what we don't know...
Hi Seunghee!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy your blog. You have insightful comments.
How can we overcome fear? I've had a problem with fear myself, and one thing I thought to do was to pray that God would give me love not fear. Love and fear are not compatible, they don't mix. Scripture says, "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear" (1 John 4:18). So maybe that's one approach.
God bless! - Tom
Glad to read your blog again. :)
ReplyDeleteAn interesting mission that is put in negative term. Wouldn't a negative of a negative be not positive but null?
