my Prince of Peace.
I met my Prince of Peace almost a year ago. It was April 3, 2011. He rushed in and permeated all my thoughts. It was an incredible gush of pure whiteness, a cleansing from the the top of my head to the bottom of my toes. I don’t think I can fully even explain it. But he rescued me.
Earlier that day during breakfast, I had asked one of the brothers who prayed over me a few months ago how he...

Hello, Farewell NYC
My trip to New York City this past summer (2011) where I got to enjoy the rhythm of Manhattan and spend quality time with my former roommates. It was a bit nostalgic and hard to really say goodbye, but I know there will be numerous visits back to the city. This video represents the closure I had before returning to Seoul, Korea. I finally got a Macbook with an editing program...
the 5 love languages.
when do you feel the most loved? and how do you feel the most loved?
is it someone doing the dishes for you? or telling you that you look lovely today? or someone sitting extra close to you and giving you long meaningful hugs? is it undivided full attention? or is it receiving little gifts that you know they specifically chose for you?
everyone has a different measure of giving and receiving...
i'm a little bit of a perfectionist

The Vine and the Branches
“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
-John 15:1
Future Plans After Graduation (an excerpt from a...
Post-graduation, I would really love to travel. I would love to be able to explore tons of new cities from Asia, to Europe, to Africa, to South America, and all over the globe! I would document all these parts of the world, photographing the beauties of this world, but also filming the various lifestyles and cultures.
In particular, I am interested in fighting injustice in developing nations. Not...

An amazing man of God passed away recently. Check out the last post on his blog and the video I’ll post with this.
Makes me tear up to be honest…
Wow.. This man and his testimony. Goes hand in hand with the video below. Beautiful. Tragic but beauitful.
I think my cheeks are tinted pink almost permanently because of the cold.

i'm beginning to see
how unique every single person is. everybody’s got their past, their dreams, their habits, their favorite ice cream flavor, their pet peeves. they’ve got things that make them all butterfly-y inside, and things that make them extremely upset or annoyed.. everybody’s got certain quirks and characteristics about them that make them… well them! whether it be tone of voice, a...

The Face of Modern Slavery- NY Times →
Srey Pov’s family sold her to a brothel when she was 6 years old. She was unaware of sex but soon found out: A Western pedophile purchased her virginity, she said, and the brothel tied her naked and spread-eagled on a bed so that he could rape her.
“I was so scared,” she recalled. “I was crying and asking, ‘Why are you doing this to me?’ ”
After that, the girl was in huge demand because she...
A follow-up to Nefarious 1: Merchant of Souls. Since the video below is only a trailer (I suggest you contact them for a full free screening), this mini-documentary sheds light into the evils of the sex industry. Misconceptions and assumptions of prostitution and porn are destroyed as this powerful behind-the-scenes story of Jacob, a former sex trafficker, narrates his experience.
David's Confession: Psalm 139
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
You are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in-behind and before;
You have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to...
lately
i’ve been enjoying the weather. the crisp refreshing air, with hints of turbulent wind. the yellow half-circle shaped leaves being tossed around in the breeze. or just chillin on the sidewalk. or half hanging off from the lonely branches. i like the contrast of the dark rings against the white bark. people in boots, cute overcoats, various scarves. i love scarves. they’re the perfect...
