Hi Mr.choi. (If MR CHOI sounds corny ..if youd prefer it.. i could call you James -american style~ㅎㅎ)
* if your busy just read the highlighted paragraghs!
This is Graceco. I have recently read your book. I got it as a present from my mom.
anyways I really wanted to ask questions and maybe get some tips on overcoming the life as a lost korean teenage girl...? lol
now~Just for your 411!
As a PK (pastors kid) I was a christan from my mothers womb.
but the true thing is... I dont feel like a "TRUE" christain. im kinda lost . i was getting ready for Foreign language highschool this year but failed.
I wasnt really expecting anything but i had a goal and that goal crushed in front of my eyes. currently im okay with it and going on with my life.
but the true thing is... im lost. I believe that God has a plan and vision for my future, and I do want to live for his kingdom and will,but i dont know which way to go.
Living as a teenager in Korea was, and is still tough. especially as a girl who came to korea 3years ago from the States.
At first it was hard adjusting to the new culture,people,and enviornment.
Korean kids study like crazy ... in your book you mentioned stanford zombies right? ..well lets say.. there are some crazy korean student zombies here..ㅋㅋ
they dont have lesiure time. they read and solve math problems at recess.... since i am a girl hoping for Stanford i had to get used to this competitive enviornment. so i tried like heck! but didnt become #1 . i knew i couldnt be perfect at first so i tried harder. through the gradual process of memorizing and solving problems I am officially not elite, but way~better than at first. Im proud of my self for coming this far..but not satisfied. (im kind of a perfectionist)
I have many talents. From when i was little my parents wanted me to explore and practically try everything. they sent me to all of these activity things like art classes, orchestra thinggymabobers and trips to many different countries. Music is hereditary in our family and i really enjoy it. i play the cello,little bit of this and that and also sing. I also love art and i think im pretty good at it. Right before coming to Korea our family lived in Hawaii at the YWAM campous. My parents took the DTS course and many other courses as well. It was so much fun there beacuse there were so much people and the environment was exhilarating. i cant express the feelings i had there.lol. tp put it short, I felt free and happy. Im not complaining about living in korea though. i made cool new chruch friends and my experience here ...i think of it as... a step? a test from God, cause there's going to be many more hardships in my life.
I have always dreamed of attending Stanford. It's been my dream since like forever. I want to major in physcology. i want to be shrink. Not just a regular shrink living in newyork providing advice for sharah Jessica Parker.I want to be someone influential. someone who is essentail and needed.I want to help people change thier views of life. I want to be a friend to those who are in need. however as a person and human being... i get stranded sometimes... I also want to be a diplomat working beside 반기문 at UN helping our world become a better place?something like that . ㅎㅎ I have a passion for volunteering and helping people. I love people. meeting them and serving them...
i have all the vision and dreams but dont the what to chose!!!!!!!! am i being greedy about wanting to do everything?.........................urgh! there are so many things i worry about and i feel like im getting old ...it walso feels like i have limit to something ............. its so annoying............ from this mind-nerving life stlye i feel like im loosing myself ,who i am as Grace ... i used to be very active and an extrovert. however,lately ... melancholy ...maybe?...................휴~~~~~~~I thirst for GOds help. i think i need him to help me through this..... so please pray for me... sorry i got carried off talking about this and that... its just.. i feel like you know me cause from reading your book.. im going through what youve been through... i kinda sympathize with your teenage years...
so...what should i do in order to actually become intimate with GOD?? i do QT everyday and pray ..i do have faith, but im not sure if its strong enough. iknow i need perservernce but as a human being..its hard ㅠㅠ what do you think?~
from the lost 16 year old teenaged girl from 서울 writng in favor of some kind of advice or theory from your life Grace.
첫댓글 Dear Grace, thank you for sharing your story with me. I believe what you really need is the Holy Spirit within you. Without it, we can't really say we are true Christians. But how can you get it? By the grace of God and your continuous attempt. If you get it, you will no longer feel empty and broken inside. With it, you will be able to walk in the will of God. Please pray to God sincerely for the Holy Spirit to reign upon you. But no matter what, you are already a chosen child of God. God loves you even if you are not what you ideally want to be.
