Great! Where am i now?Life's Tough After spending a good two months of summer all to my busy self, it just feels too good to be whisked away so suddenly by the "tough" transition to University. God plays such a huge factor in all the things that i do, and it's kinda funny how i felt that i could really party it up in the first year and just have alot of fun. But to be honest, it's not me. I'm not the type of guy who likes to party a lot, who enjoys small-talk, or play around all the time. Is it because i'm too insecure? NO! Or is it the way God designed me to be? I kinda wondered at times as to why i feel to obliged to carry through against the temptations and hardships that keep on coming across me. (the drugs, the alcohol, the partying, the overall sin!) But i guess it's just what i've become over the past three years. My point is, will refraining myself take me anywhere in the future? I personally believe that i'll never sink deeply into them, but i also believe that there's something to learn about them, and to understand. Man i'm being such a whiny baby, hahaha grow up Tim, just grow up! My Jesus and His People At first i always knew that Jesus was "the saviour" but i mean what did it really mean? I really believe that as a child that my sunday school teachers created this misleading figure of Jesus being my best friend, who performed miracles, and had devoted friends (the disciples). But Jesus is something more then just some simple religious figure in this world. And i really believe that science cannot justify the magnitude of this world in which "HE" himself created. Jesus to me is someone who has a compassion to help, a will to serve, and a love for people. Not "his" people, but people in general. And it often shocks me at times as to how poorly his people are portrayed at times. At times christians accuse gay people of their lifestyles, we taunt other religions, and also we continue to evangelize poorly without thinking of how HE would evangelize. It often drives me nuts when gays are often kicked out or hated in the church. I mean c'mon! There is no such thing as a greater or lesser value in sin. Stealing a car to stealing a pen is still the same thing. You're stealing, but in the context of gay people being accussed WE do not have the right to put them down! We're still sinners, but do you honestly believe you're any better then them? I honestly hate the fact that things like anti-gay movements exist. It forms such a horrible presentation of the church and to what we are all about. We also have no right to solemn right to just barge into people's lives and believe we we can transform then into christians. For example, yelling out passages of the bible and saying that they are to be sent to hell isn't exactly what Jesus made us to do. We should be communicating with these people, helping them, comforting them, and also loving them. There's always the need to convince others, but to be honest it's all about sharing who he is and what he has done and will do for them. He's more then just a simple figure, he's the answer to alot of the missing factors in this world. To be frank, what we're doing is totally opposite of what Jesus had taught us. Although Jesus was persecuted by pharisees, religious leaders, and others. He still held a deep compassion and love to reach out to them. And that is what we should be all about. So if you honestly believe what you're doing is right? Then would you call yourself a follower of Christ! So for God's sake, don't persecute others! Look at yourself and look at their hearts. Because franky, People in general are all good-hearted. The Future At First spending 3 days at Laurier got me thinkin', is it truly possible for a Korean kid like me so live in such a white community like Laurier? Well for the first two days i didn't, i felt so secluded, no one realli engaged me, and being the only asian guy didn't help at all hahahaha. But i guess during the 3rd day, it got better, i felt like i got to know people alot better. Well knowing myself i'm not much of a small-talk guy. But actually spending 3 days with some of these people got me to a new level. And i'm confident that my first year at Wilfred Laurier will probably be one of the best years of my life. Hopefully??? I seemed afraid of the future. Leaving my family, friends, loved-ones. And i still am, but in faith i know that this is where i'm suppose to go, and i pray that there's some future for me within ministry and within the working field! To the future!
