First week in Daejon

Still looking around for the right church... Today, I went to the biggest church in Daejon, Saeronam church. I went to an English service with two of my friends. The praising and worship was so graceful, and pastor's sermon was very touching even his English pronunciation was not good. I really want to share this with all my blog readers :)

"Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified." Act 20:32, NIV

This verse is from one of the last speaking of apostle Paul to the Ephesian elders. He was about to leave the church because God's word was given to him, which was to go Jerusalem where imprisonment was waiting for him. Paul knew that he wouldn't be able to see those people again in his physical life. Even though he didn't want to leave, because it was time as God had spoken to him, he left.
Sometimes God answers our prayers in a different way, in an unexpected way. We usually ask God for a way that we feel comfortable, but sometimes it's not the way He wants us to be. Trust in God, that's what we need. Yes, saying goodbye is very hard for everyone but there is a certain time that we need to move on. Apostle Paul told the people that they might not be able to meet again during the rest of their life. But in God, we are one, and we are together forever. Even though we are apart, we can pray for each other.

These days I tend to do something not meaningful, such as jumping around websites without any specific purpose. Still miss Boston and Park street church. However, this is the time I need to move on, so that I can grow up as God's will. Still, we who are in God, are all together. Thank you, Lord!
