If we complained less, and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.

Sometimes I would like to ask God, why he allows poverty, famine, and injustice in the world, when he could do something about it…. but I’m afraid He might ask me the same question.

Hello Christmas.
Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother;
And in His name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
Oh night divine, Oh night when Christ was born;
Oh night divine, Oh night, Oh night Divine.

We are:
- pressed but not crushed
- persecuted but not abandoned
- struck down but not destroyed
- blessed beyond the curse ~ for His promise will endure
His joy = our strength.

so, may i ask in return... why korea?
My husband and I left California over 2 years ago because we knew that our life needed to change. We decided to get serious about paying off our debt so that we could be 100% available to God’s leading for lives. We had always thought teaching overseas would be exciting.
As God’s providence would have it, our good friend was teaching here in Korea and was told to recruit for two more teachers for his school at exactly the same time that we were looking for jobs.
Fast forward to 2+ years later and here we are. Korea has been good to us. God has been abundantly good to us.

The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor we are, but a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a revelation of hidden poverty. While it is an application to divine wealth, it is a confession of human emptiness. The most healthy state of a Christian is to be always empty in self and constantly depending upon the Lord for supplies; to be always poor in self and rich in Jesus; weak as water personally, but mighty through God to do great exploits; and hence the use of prayer, because, while it adores God, it lays the creature where it should be, in the very dust.

Out on the farthest edge
There in the silence
You were there
My faith was torn to shreds
Heart in the balance
But You were there
Always faithful
Always good
You still have me
You still have my heart
I thought I had seen the end
Everything broken
But You were there
I’ve wandered in Heaven’s gates
I’ve made my bed in Hell
You were there still
You have me
You have me
You have my heart completely
