My first blog entry

I am in love with GCC!

This is the first thing I said, when I called my dad yesterday after the mini o's.

Coming from a church community where there were not many youths, I've always been loved but I did not have a community with young people that I can share my faith with. Maybe it was because of this that sometimes I felt I did not belong or I just was a bit...different. I didn't seem to share a lot of values that my friends held for their lives and I was constantly conflicted with the question: "So which one is right?"

It wasn't that I wanted to challenge my beliefs and explore their beliefs but it was hard for me because I couldn't share what I believed in as the truth. The Gospel.

After I met Christ in a personal and a more profound way this year, I continuously prayed to have a strong Christian community that I can belong to. Today, I realized that I got the answers to my prayer.

Every time I meet these people, I am just constantly blessed. I constantly smile and laugh because I am so happy. Praise the Lord for leading me to such an amazing community he has prepared for me.

Last week, I suddenly became very stressed over the academics because my ambition took over. I knew that I had to put everything into God's hands, but I felt like I also shared a major responsibility for the result. Even though I didn't have much work, I wanted to produce the best result in everything that I had. After the Sunday service of last week, I started to pray because I did not want my ambition to steal God's glory. My effort and my result would be useless if they are not used for God's grand plan. I prayed for him to help me relieve my anxiousness and give peace in my heart. While I was crying and praying, Christine and another person began to pray for me as well. It was then I heard "Still by Hillsong". This completely broke me down. This worship song was the song that broke me down when I could not do anything by myself in my junior year. He did everything for me even though I couldn't and this time also, I have faith in him that he is going to guide every part of my life.

What a joy it is that he is stepping into even tiniest part of my life. He is indeed an alive God and I feel it everyday.
Tonight, I am going to thank him for everything!
Lord, thank you for making me a humble servant of yours.
Thank you for you in my life.
Thank you for my family.
Thank you for GCC, Call of Duty, FM, my group of friends, and KOSTA team members.
Thank you.
I love you.
