Summer is a
season when we get out of closed spaces to a widely open world. We enjoy
catching up with our neighbors and friends and making new friends during the
summer. Busy school and church schedules get more relaxed and we can take a
deep breath until Fall.
Around the
time you are reading this article, I will be in Korea with my family. There’s a
Korean proverb, that says, “The time of a decade can change even the shape of
mountains and rivers.” I want to check how much sense this saying makes while
in Korea.
When we
reflect on our past, our own attitude and perspective determines whether we
feel happy or sorry for our lives. In my case, I feel satisfied with my life so
far. Of course, I have made many mistakes, and there have been some moments
that I want to go back and fix if possible. However, in both happy and
challenging times, God has been present. Therefore, I feel that my life has
moved in the best direction and will be going in the same way as long as I
fully rely on God’s will.
During this
summer I hope to see God’s power and his faithfulness in the sky, on the land,
and between people. Being out of routine life is the ideal chance for us to
look and feel the things around us in a different way. And I hope I will
experience God’s blessings and message through this summer without ceasing.
Happy summer
to all of you!
