Hobby and Project

My hobby has stepped up to become a project. I am not so sure how many Christmas Cards I can make before Christmas. It is fun for sure and it sure kept me busy, so I decided to continue and see if I can make as many as possible. For fact, I have been thinking of tons of ideas to make myself busy being at home. This is something I love to do and enjoy while the time flies by...One thing I might want to do is speed up so I can make A LOT more CARDS! So far,just 9...Long~ way to go...

Mommy To Be

It is like a little dream came true and still awed to believe that I am going to be a mommy!  Can't believe little there is little life in my womb we are responsible.  Well, right now I am responsible for eating healthier and taking care of my body better than before.  God gave us precious blessing to make new unit called "family."  I am due December 31!  Could be Christmas baby or New Year baby... Can't wait to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl.  Soon to find out though...

100 People Every Single Day

Hew, last couple of weeks I had to talk to 100 people per day.  Well, what was I doing and why was I doing?  I got online applied for a job called Marketing/Sales position.  I had so much fun talking to 100 people everyday.  I really enjoyed this career.  It was simply to get out of the house and try to achieve personal goal to see what I was made of.  So many personalities and so many surprises are in the world. 

As a wife?  Well, I wasn't doing it too well combined with the office that was too far and the goals I was supposed to reach.  My hubby was not too happy with it because the house was getting so messy and no wife to cook for him plus wasn't getting enough attention from someone special, me.  So, he made me quit the job, hahaha...

I still pray that the Lord would show us the way to His will.  If I talked to those 100s of people everyday about the Lord, I wonder how many people would have gotten saved?  Do you know that it is possible to talk to 100 people everyday working full time 8 hours a day face-to-face?  The Lord has prepared me to have confidence through this experience talking to 100 different people per day.  God has commanded us to go and preach the gospel and there is nothing to be ashamed of the gospel.  Jesus Christ has done the work already for us and all we have to do is just go and simply talk to the people.
 

Restaurant Review

A Mexican restaurant: I would have to say my husband and I absolutely luv luv Mexican food.  We love to eat tacos, nachos, salsa, etc.  Though I definitely recommend that home made Mexican is "the best."  Other than, if you like to go out to eat Mexican, definitely recommending to go to the restaurant where Mexican people are.  After we finished eating, we paid and walked out the door.  Then, we checked out new outlets along the side of 495 highway.  We had to stop by Chick-fil-le to get some milk shake.  Absolutely, love them.  When we got to our parking lot, my husband remembered, "I left my hat at that restaurant."  Why, it had to be his favorite one.  That means I had to drive 20 miles back to where he left his hat the next day while he is working.  I am thinking, "Should I?" or "Should I not?"  I guess it shows that I care and how I love him so I decided to do what he wished me to do...lol.

My husband and I love this recipe of chips and dip:

1 whole grain lime flavored nacho chips
1 lb grounded beef
Valveeta Cheese chunks
Store bought Pace made picante sauce "hot"

Definitely brown the grounded beef first.  Put browned beef, Valveeta Cheese chunks, and Picante Sauce into the microwavable container.  Microwave until cheese is malted.  stir them well and serve with the chips.
Depends on how cheesy or spice  you want, the amount you mix in could be different.
So, going out to eat is not always worth the money when you can make better taste at home. :)

There is a New

        I have experienced loosing my many wonderful happy memories because of just a few heartbreaking moments. I could not get away from it and still hurts whenever I think of it.  Accepting the past was not easy.  I used to think why those things had to come into my life.  Yes, it did not go away nor erased.  I wanted comfort but I could not find it anywhere.

       There were results and influences from the past.  It could be many things as anger, bitterness, or pain.  How could I win over my bitterness and pain?    Nevertheless, there is no need for me to talk about my past but only future lies in front of me. Talking about the past, it only hurts!

       Old things pass away and there is a new.  When I became a child of God, I came to learn about Christ.  I could not possibly bring up my status while Christ’s work was supposed to be shining.  In humble adoration, the Lord had took away my past and gave me a new life.

       There is a real truth how I make fellowship with Christ.  I read His words and pray.  Yes, it sounds simple but it was not easy at the time.  I wanted comfort, help, and rest. I was selfish.  What the Lord really wanted of me was fellowship.  He did not want my dedication and service. It was not what I could do for Him.  He wanted me to get to know Him.  I thought I knew Him. I thought I comprehended my Savior enough to know His love and His will.  I am afraid I was wrong.  I still do not know His perfect will.  I can not see!  Well, The Lord showed me that I do not have to know. I do not have to think about it. I only know that He promised and He will hold my hand.

       “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, KJV)

       The Lord promised that he will guide our path if we yield to him.  Sometimes, there seems no future or hope.  For us, there always will be a wall blocking in front of us until God opens the door. There is future far ahead of us. We just don’t see it.  Of course, we desire and plan our future.  The Lord says yes or no.  I do not know where the Lord takes me and what He wants me to do but this I know that He is taking me to His best path where I need to be.

       Time to time, I am blinded by my trials and temptations. I get paranoid because I do not know what I am going to do.  Giving me a new chance each time, the Lord always shows me on time for His will.  His wills are things that I never thought of before and still wonder.  Just as Christ took away our sins and putting it behind us, He gives us a new.  My past is only left with His honor and glory of His deliverance.   

                       

Wife for Now: The Bridge to the Future

Wife for Now: The Bridge to the Future: "It has been a very long~ time. Sometimes, I even forget that I am a Korean. Maybe, I tried too hard to forget the heartbreaking ..."

The Bridge to the Future

It has been a very long~ time.  Sometimes, I even forget that I am a Korean.  Maybe, I tried too hard to forget the heartbreaking memories of my childhood.  Anyway relax, I am a South Korean.  I am a wife of a wonderful loving proud American/Christian man who time to time has to fly on the military jet make sure the mission is carried on without the crash.  Ok, he is an "avionic."  This time his destination is to Hawaii, well, without me of course, and he says they make time in Hawaii. Whatever that means.  I get a call from him saying that he is still in California...because...the jet is BROKEN!  I am trying to think sensibly, "Isn't that why he is there because it is his job!" Breath in and breath out... Do you know what a wife do when she has no job, no kid, and no pet, no husband?  Sure, there are plenty things to do but when walking back into one room apartment door by yourself, what do you think?  Some good gospel music, P90X, internet, and TV, call some friends and family talking to every single one of them, sing to myself every songs I know, and pray out loud, cook, make some noise... The church is my second home, I try to stay and fellowship until last person is gone home especially when I know that no one's going to be waiting for me at our little humble APT. 
The waiting is all worth when I get a sweet call from my missing husband, "Hi, Babe~."  I guess, It is good to be apart sometimes.  I feel like we are back to be a boyfriend and girlfriend couple again, a little heart beats, shyness, and saying "good bye" at list twice.

My life is continuation of unexpected events that God has brought to the world.  I give up my plan to God so He can write the tasks for me on His holy tablet.  When I'm done with one task, He checks it off and get me onto the next one.  I thought I was gonna be an independent single with cool job for a while although I had faith that the Lord had put a man on my task organizer.


I have a dream, not something that appears when you go to sleep, but i have a dream that maybe the Lord will allow to happen.  Before I got married, I really just wanted to meet an ordinary man so I can be an ordinary wife like everybody else, nothing more and nothing less.  That is why I am starting to write the blog, it seems that is what stay home wives and moms usually do and I have been wanting to share with everybody how the Lord blessed my life.  If I make use of every minute of time, maybe I'll reach toward that dream.
