Brace for Blizzard Nemo!

New Englanders here in the USA are now preparing for the coming blizzard Nemo which would drown the entire place in a 12-24" of snow. LORD JESUS, please protect everyone of us from this coming calamity. Thank you LORD JESUS.


Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow-l~~

Video not mine. :)

I will count three to four years from now, you will get married too because all the man I love, they did not reciprocate and they got married with somebody else. Hm.. 정말 슬픈 일입니다.ㅠ
Even if this really hurts, I will be loving you in my heart silently. I will offer prayers to our LORD JESUS that you will be happy always. That you won't feel the burden of life. Do not worry about me, Jesus loves me too and He won't let my heart hurt deeply. He will heal me soon. Thank you so much for all the words I've heard and I believe them all because I trust you. I know you love JESUS CHRIST too. Stay faithful to Him always. 많이 사랑해요. ㅠㅠ

Mini Pet Sweet hand lotion from South Korea with love,, ^^

A good friend and a co-worker who has been assigned in South Korea as a Service Engineer gave this when she went back home for Christmas vacation. This came with a Korean green tea, a Korean nail cutter, and a 김. 

To you my dear friend, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Even though you are younger than me, I learned a lot from you at work and you taught me a lot. You are indeed my mentor. Whatever skills, knowledge and experiences I have gained, it is all because of you. May GOD direct His plans accordingly to you. We have a same fate right now but come what may, we can see the sunshine someday. You are so brilliant person. 

I salute you for being you and you deserve what and where you will be. Keep the faith my dear co-worker. 







An elementary friend, a long-time friend whom I lost for ages and now she's found thru FB, a sweet friend, a good mother and a loving wife of her Korean husband, my kachikahan, we have the same haha, hand lotion. I got one from Korea too. Happy me. Just wait a little longer, we will see/meet each other soon. I know we will. If there is a will, there is always a way! ^^ :3

Do You Have Eyes And Ears? Then Hear and See..



Sex, Marriage, & Fairytales || Spoken Word
I listened carefully without reading the lyrics and I took notes of some inspiring lines. (I hope I heard them right^^):

• In marriage or singleness, God's first priority is to make us holy.
• Romans 1:25 [Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25 KJV)]
• Elevating our spouse to GOD, without knowing it, we are fulfilling Romans 1:25..
• We exchange GOD for lesser created things is like a husband treating his wife like a 2D image on the screen.ㅠㅠ
• ..How about men grow up! Put down the controller! How about lead her with grace instead of trying to control her..
• So for SINGLES, become friends first before ever become lovers.. Pursue JESUS as your Foundation before you go under the covers..
• ..(rapper) Believe me because a strong friendship before marriage will make a good marriage after..ㅠㅠ 
• Marriage isn't just sex!! It is conversation and laughter.. It is the PROMISE (약속) that sustains the love.,
• The LORD said, "When you trust in Me, you no longer have to hide. Because of Me, it is finished. You've been made new. You're spotless, you're blameless. There is no sin in you." 
• Ephesians 5: Wives, honor your husband. Husbands, give up your life. 
• .. Because you don't fall out of love as much as you fall out of repentance~ 

Complete lyrics of this song: 

May JESUS CHRIST bless you more with amazing Bible topics to instill in our minds that HE and His WORDS lives..

BEWARE OF FALSE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST JESUS^^




ヅ What a person desires is unfailing love, better to be poor than a liar. (Proverbs 19:22)
사람은 그 인자함으로 남에게 사모함을 받느니라 가난한 자는 거짓말 하는 자보다 나으니라. (잠언 19:22)

ヅ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14 KJV)
너희는 믿지 않는 자와 멍에를 같이 하지 말라 의와 불법이 어찌 함께하며 빛과 어두움이 어찌 사귀며 15그리스도와 벨리알이 어찌 조화되며 믿는 자와 믿지 않는 자가 어찌 상관하며. (고린도후서 6:14)

ヅ Psalm 37:4 -- Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.
또 여호와를 기뻐하라 저가 네 마음의 소원을 이루어 주시리로다. (시편 37:4)

ヅ Whom have I in heaven but YOU?  And earth has nothing I desire, besides YOU.  My flesh and my heart may fail,  But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever..  ~~ Psalm 73:25- 26
하늘에서는 주 외에 누가 내게 있으리요 땅에서는 주 밖에 나의 사모할 자 없나이다. 내 육체와 마음은 쇠잔하나 하나님은 내 마음의 반석이시요 영원한 분깃이시라. (시편 73:25-26)

ヅ The most rewarding journey in life is our walk with God- Anonymous

ヅ Relationship is not the business where u  give when u receive, it is a beautiful feeling where u like to give even if you don't receive..

ヅ "Happiness is not about what happens to us - it's about how we perceive of what happen to us. It's the knack of finding positive for every negative, and viewing setback as a challenge. It's not wishing for what we don't have but enjoying what we do possess."

My 비빔밥 In MA, USA^^

Bibimbap is also one of the popular Korean rice dishes. Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste).


I have started spoiling my taste buds into some Korean dishes and eventually got the urge to try them at home. Korean cuisines are really good and they are healthy. Most of their dishes have a lot of veggies which is certainly a must to acquiring a healthy body. :) You can also craft a variety on your own with the veggies. 

I have tried preparing Kimbap (김밥) a few months ago and it was a blast. I have prepared Bibimbap today and bought the ingredients from the same Korean grocery store where I got my Kimbap ingredients before. 

Ingredients:
  • Cooked rice 
  • a package of bean sprouts 
  • a bunch of spinach 
  • 2 small size of zucchinis 
  • 5-7 Shiitake mushrooms 
  • fern brakes (kosari) 
  • 200 grams of ground beef (about half a pound) 
  • 1 small carrot, eggs 
  • soy sauce, hot pepper paste, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and vegetable oil 
  • Broccolli 
  • Tofu 
Recipe:
Arrange everything on a platter.

1. Cook rice. You can use a rice cooker or a stainless pot.
2. Next, you need to prepare a large platter to put all your ingredients on. Rinse your bean sprouts 3 times and put them in a pot with a cup of water. Add 1 ts of salt and cook for 20 minutes. Drain water and mix it with 1 clove of minced garlic, sesame oil and a pinch of salt.
3. Put it on the platter.
4. Put your spinach in a pot of boiling water and stir it for a minute. Then rinse it in cold water a few times and squeeze it lightly. Mix it with a pinch of salt, 1 ts of soy sauce, 1 clove of minced garlic and sesame oil. Put it on the platter
5. Cut 2 small size zucchinis into thin strips, sprinkle them with a pinch of salt, and then mix them together. A few minutes later, sauté them in a pan over high heat. When it’s cooked, it will look a little translucent. Put it on the platter.
6. You can buy soaked and cooked “kosari” at a Korean grocery store. Prepare about 2 or 3 cups of kosari for this 4 servings of bibimbap. Cut it into pieces 5-7 cm long and sauté in a heated pan with 1 ts of vegetable oil. Stir and add 1 tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 tbs of sugar, and cook them for 1-2 minutes. Add sesame oil. Put it on the platter.
7. Slice shiitake mushrooms thinly and sauté with 1 ts of vegetable oil. Add 2 ts of soy sauce and 1 or 2 ts of sugar and stir it for 2 minutes. Add some sesame oil, and put it on the platter.
8. On a heated pan, put some oil and 200 grams of ground beef and stir it. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 tbs of soy sauce, 1/2 tbs of sugar, a little grounded black pepper, and sesame oil.
9. Put it on the platter.
10. Cut a carrot into strips, sauté it for 30 seconds and put it on the platter. Do the same with Broccoli.
11. Prepare eggs with sunny side up.
12. Put your rice in a big bowl, and attractively display all your vegetables and meat. Place the sunny side up egg on the center.
13. Serve it with sesame oil and hot pepper paste.
14. Lastly, mix it up and eat!

Hang In There :P^^

• If you forget that you are strong, unique, gifted, funny, blessed, and so entirely loved by everyone who knows you, just give me a call and I'll remind you. Hang in there.

Hear ME (1): The purpose of life is not crystal clear, especially when the path is sometimes paved with fear. Keep the faith, and trust God’s guidance. Pray for strength and courage to help cope with the struggles. Know my prayers are with you everyday while you work through these storms of life.

Hear ME (2) When the sun disappears behind the clouds, remember that I am here to walk with you through the storms of life. I'll hold your hand and hide with you when the lightening strikes. Come in from the rain, and I'll dry your clothes and offer you a warm place to find comfort. Remember that sooner or later, the clouds dissipate, and the sun is seen once again. I'll be here with you even then because I believe in you.

Hear ME (3): Life throws us curve balls, and the umpire doesn't get to call "foul" because life gets to call the shots. Even when times sneak up on us and hit us in the back of the head, we can find strength and rest in knowing that we are loved by our family and friends. You are loved, and I know you will make it through this difficult time.

My joy comes from LORD JESUS~ ^U^

수고하고 무거운 짐진 자들아 ! 다 내게로 오라 내가 너희를 쉬게 하리라 (Matthew 11:28)

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28 KJV) ^__________^ :3












Let It Snow~ Aw!!

It is snowing again^^ I know it is not good for others who don't like it but I would like to thank Jesus for letting me see and feel it. Walking on the snow is fantastic^^

Quite slippery but it really nice. Hope I could do snow tubing one day is GOD would allow and give me a chance. Yey!! (Am a kid again)

Let it snow~ Let it snow :)

Scripture listening:

Corinthians 6:14--7:1

• Unequal Yoking with Unbelievers •

Paul next issues a command:
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers (v. 14). Actually the command is even more pointed: "Stop yoking yourselves to unbelievers." Use of the present imperative shows that Paul is not merely warning the Corinthians about a potential danger ("do not start") but instructing them to stop an action already in progress.

The command appears to come out of the clear blue. Has Paul not been lobbying strenuously for the Corinthians' affection? Has he not just asked them, as his children, to open wide their hearts to him? Moreover, he resumes his lobbying efforts at 7:2: "Make room for us in your hearts," he repeats. What then are we to make of 6:14--7:1?

















FAITH



As we’re in the same time, I see you smile
Now only you are in my eyes
Just like fate, each day gets filled with you
It already feels like
a thousand years has passed
I only feel you
Against my white skin
Your breath softly touches me
I dream every day
Truly, like a lie
You came to me without a word

The moment you started to breathe
You became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you
I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On

In the same space, I am falling for you
Now only you can feel my heart
You keep pacing through my heart
If I extend my hand, it seems like I can touch you

I only feel you
Against my white skin
Your breath softly touches me
I dream every day
Truly, like a lie
You came to me without a word

The moment you started to breathe
You became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you
I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
Carry On Carry On
Carry On Carry On

Carry On- Carry On-
Carry On- Carry On-wo-eoeo eo-

I love you
You became my heart
I want to dream with you and love you
I want to live my days in your precious arms
I love you, you are my destiny
I love you, I love you

Yoo Eun Soo (Kim Hee Sun) is a 33-year old plastic surgeon in the year 2012. She was originally a general surgeon, but quickly found that it was an overworked, under-paid profession and jumped ship to plastic surgery. Her dream is to someday open her own practice. But one day, Choi Young (Lee Min Ho) kidnaps her and takes her back to the Goryeo era because needing her medical skills. Their love story spans centuries but also warring beliefs. He gave up on love to be an unflinching warrior.

[Quote 'en Quote]
This drama could have been set in any era, it would have had the same impact. I’m enjoying it more than I've expected because it has the power to keep you on you toes waiting to see what is going to happen next.

If you just explain the plot, you have one doctor turning back in time, one general who does not wish to serve his king any more but since it is his duty, he would die for him; then you have those who wish to overpower the king who just returned as ruler of his country after being in exile for ten years. With a Yuna wife. 

We have actually two couples - the king and queen and the general and the doctor. I am not naming the actors because I would like to give the story a chance. So there you have it - just add some superpowers and you might think: been there, done that. However, as it often is the case with Korean dramas, you get to be surprised and you feel yourself entangled in the story. This is how I feel and this is why I am giving it such a high rating. It has the merit of taking you in and sometimes taking you over. I said I wouldn't name the actors but I would like to say, I am pleased with the acting and the whole plot. And with the fighting scenes. And with the realism you get to see, through all the magical happenings in this drama - by realism I mean the actions and reactions of the characters.

So, this drama to watch, I recommend. Yoda style :) who has already watched some of it, will fully get my drift.

.. not done yet ^___^ not a fan of Korean dramas, not a die-hard follower of K-Pop groups either, I am TOTALLY against plastic surgery, I am not a fan of Lee Min Ho, but overall.. and so far, this is nice though^.^.. because I like science and history. ^___^ :3


Sanctify My Heart, LORD!

He doesn't want me to take care of him and I think I cannot take care of him because I am not a nurse or a doctor. Maybe, he needs one like that or he needs to marry a nurse or someone practicing medicine. What does that mean that we love each other but we are not close to each other? We're just playing and talking nonsense. Pity you again poor Debbie. You are deceived by the man you love. If he really want to talk, language barrier is not an obstacle. I wanted to have someone I can take care and someone who will take care of me but I am afraid, no one will come. I do not understand why he keeps uttering he loves me but he is not doing anything? Love is not a game!! 그만하세요..

It really hurts me to hear him saying that loving him is not good. It is like a REJECTION and it is really saddening.

LORD JESUS! I know there is a reason why you are not allowing me to be close with that man. Maybe, he won't be able to protect me or help me in life. He might not be the one who's going to guide me to You, LORD. He might be just thinking about himself and someone else. I know he is in love with someone else and taking all his time with whoever that is. BUT it is really a relief if he is serving you diligently, MY LORD.. Giving all his time doing his duty as follower of Christ Jesus and not only lies. I do not know him much, thus I cannot trust him. Please LORD JESUS, make a way that I won't be able to communicate with his man anymore. I will follow Your decree even if that involves getting hurt over and over again. It is so sad that he is just playing a game on me. I am done with it. He did not help me with anything and he doesn't even care about me. He is busy getting rich, so workaholic. :( Riches won't bring us to heaven especially if on the other side of things, we are continuously commiting chronic sins.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. (Matthew 5:28 KJV)

나는 너희에게 이르노니 여자를 보고 음욕을 품는 자마다 마음에 이미 간음하였느니라 (Matthew 5:28)

Thank you that I can live and move on. It is better to be alone, live a pure life with JESUS than fall into SINS by having a bf. Dreaming of someone who will protect me and my only one. Dreaming of someone who will bring me and my family closer to Jesus so he must be a real mature Christian man. A partner in Christ, a bestfriend, a real man.

I thank you LORD for other concerned friends who somehow can give their time and are helping me out but this man I love did not help me even a single instance. Just nothing~ He is not the one!! That is for sure. Annyeong!!

Physical pain is much bearable than emotional one especially if the person who's incurring it is the one you dearly and honestly love. ㅠㅠ

"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience." Luke 8:11-15

"... in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

In the world -- sharing His Truth and love - but not part of it!

"As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” John 20:21

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?" 2 Corinthians 2:14-16

Those who refuse to love the world face hostility. "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me." John 15:18-21]
[세상이 너희를 미워하면 너희보다 먼저 나를 미워한 줄을 알라. 너희가 세상에 속하였으면 세상이 자기의 것을 사랑할 터이나 너희는 세상에 속한 자가 아니요 도리어 세상에서 나의 택함을 입은 자인고로 세상이 너희를 미워하느니라. 내가 너희더러 종이 주인보다 더 크지 못하다 한 말을 기억하라 사람들이 나를 핍박하였은즉 너희도 핍박할 터이요 내 말을 지켰은즉 너희 말도 지킬 터이라 그러나 사람들이 내 이름을 인하여 이 모든 일을 너희에게 하리니 이는 나 보내신 이를 알지 못함이니라 (John 15:18-21)]

"I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world." John 17:14-18
[내가 아버지의 말씀을 저희에게 주었사오매 세상이 저희를 미워하였사오니 이는 내가 세상에 속하지 아니함같이 저희도 세상에 속하지 아니함을 인함이니이다 내가 비옵는 것은 저희를 세상에서 데려가시기를 위함이 아니요 오직 악에 빠지지 않게 보전하시기를 위함이니이다 내가 세상에 속하지 아니함 같이 저희도 세상에 속하지 아니하였삽나이다 저희를 진리로 거룩하게 하옵소서 ! 아버지의 말씀은 진리니이다 ! 아버지께서 나를 세상에 보내신 것같이 나도 저희를 세상에 보내었고. (John 17:14-18)]

"...the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me." John 16:2-3
[사람들이 너희를 출회 할 뿐 아니라 때가 이르면 무릇 너희를 죽이는 자가 생각하기를 이것이 하나님을 섬기는 예라 하리라 저희가 이런 일을 할 것은 아버지와 나를 알지 못함이라 (John 16:2-3)]

"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life." 2 Corinthians 2:14-16
[항상 우리를 그리스도 안에서 이기게 하시고 우리로 말미암아 각처에서 그리스도를 아는 냄새를 나타내시는 하나님께 감사하노라 우리는 구원 얻는 자들에게나 망하는 자들에게나 하나님 앞에서 그리스도의 향기니 이 사람에게는 사망으로 좇아 사망에 이르는 냄새요 저 사람에게는 생명으로 좇아 생명에 이르는 냄새라 누가 이것을 감당하리요 (2 Corinthians 2:14-16)]

"Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
So will I choose their delusions and bring their fears on them;
Because when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes
And chose that in which I do not delight."
Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His Word;
Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My name's sake, said,
'Let the Lord be glorified that we may see your joy,'
But they shall be ashamed." Isaiah 66:3-4
[소를 잡아 드리는 것은 살인함과 다름이 없고 어린 양으로 제사드리는 것은 개의 목을 꺾음과 다름이 없으며 드리는 예물은 돼지의 피와 다름이 없고 분향하는 것은 우상을 찬송함과 다름이 없이 하는 그들은 자기의 길을 택하며 그들의 마음은 가증한 것을 기뻐한즉. 나도 유혹을 그들에게 택하여 주며 그 무서워하는 것을 그들에게 임하게 하리니 이는 내가 불러도 대답하는 자 없으며 내가 말하여도 그들이 청종하지 않고 오직 나의 목전에 악을 행하며 나의 기뻐하지 아니하는 것을 택하였음이니라 하시니라. (Isaiah 66:3-4)]

Choose your position - whom will you follow?

"Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret....
"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit...." Ephesians 5:8-18
[너희가 전에는 어두움이더니 이제는 주 안에서 빛이라 빛의 자녀들처럼 행하라 빛의 열매는 모든 착함과, 의로움과, 진실함에 있느니라 주께 기쁘시게 할 것이 무엇인가 시험하여 보라너희는 열매 없는 어두움의 일에 참예하지 말고 도리어 책망하라 저희의 은밀히 행하는 것들은 말하기도 부끄러움이라 그러나 책망을 받는 모든 것이 빛으로 나타나나니 나타나지는 것마다 빛이니라

그러므로 이르시기를 잠 자는 자여 ! 깨어서 죽은 자들 가운데서 일어나라 그리스도께서 네게 비취시리라 하셨느니라

그런즉 너희가 어떻게 행할 것을 자세히 주의하여 지혜 없는 자같이 말고오직 지혜 있는 자같이 하여 세월을 아끼라 ! 때가 악하니라 ! 그러므로 어리석은 자가 되지 말고 오직 주의 뜻이 무엇인가 이해하라 술 취하지 말라 이는 방탕한 것이니 오직 성령의 충만을 받으라 (Ephesians 5:14-18)]

And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15
[만일 여호와를 섬기는 것이 너희에게 좋지 않게 보이거든 너희 열조가 강 저편에서 섬기던 신이든지 혹 너희의 거하는 땅 아모리 사람의 신이든지 너희 섬길 자를 오늘날 택하라 ! 오직 나와 내 집은 여호와를 섬기겠노라 !’ (Joshua 24:15)]

"For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body...." Philippians 3:20
