Hello everyone!
The weather here is amazing! yesterday I sat outside while I worked on my assignments, on a picnic bench under an apple tree by the the cow pasture (i kid you not). It was divine. nad today the funniest thing happened.
As I stood with my friends waiting to get on the ferry i was contemplating out loud about standing on one o f wooden poles that the dock is attached to and doing a karate kid kick when i decided to imitate it. little did i realize that it probably wasn't wise since i was wearinfg loose ballet flats and as my foot flew up my shoe flew off did several flips in the air above my head before landing with a definite plunk in the ocean behind me.
=( (sorry mommy).
well that's the story this week ttfn.
Welcome!
You may wonder at the title of my blog. And originally it was a title that was very insignificant (see first post). I have often had the desire to change my blog's name or even to start a new one as the address is also soo do or pseudo. But this last year at bible school I had an assignment on generosity based on two chapters from the Bible (Leviticus 25 and Deuteronomy 15) that changed my perspective a bit. In Deuteronomy God tells the Israelites "...you shall not harden your hearts, nor close your hand from your brother, but you shall freely open your hand to him and generously lend him sufficient for his need, whatever he lacks." (Deut. 15:7-8).
Soo do means open hand in Korean, or at least that is what I have been told in my karate classes, and after remembering this and working through my generosity assignment, I wondered to myself: Am I a soo do (open hand) christian or a psuedo christian? This question continues to challenge me. I often keep my time, money, and encouragements to myself and don't give generously. But God calls us to give all we have, for our security lies not in our weatlh, or health, or time, or place, but ultimately in Him.
This blog is for me to share my thoughts and my days, things I love and places I go, my struggles and His victories, and ultimately His work in and through me will hopefully make me a soo do christian.
