So me and my dad were talking during dinner and we ended up in a conversation about Jewish people during World War 2. Dad said that the reason why so many Jews died during the Holocaust might have been a punishment from God because they crucified Jesus. But Jesus died for us, to save us and give us eternal life. Was there another meaning behind Jesus' crucifixion and the Holocaust? Anyway, and then we started talking about Jesus' second coming. Jews believe that the Messiah will fulfill the messianic prophecies of the Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel. But haven't Jesus already done all that? When Jesus returns to this earth for the second time, He is going to descend looking like God. Glorious and magnificent. So, isn't this the way that Jewish people believe that the true Messiah will descend? So when judgment day arrives, will they all look to Jesus and say "There's the Messiah we've been waiting for!?" Of course if they believe that Jesus is the true Son of God at that moment, they will be saved but that's just kind of stupid that they acknowledge Him now by the way He looked but not before. Because of God's love for us, Jesus died on the cross for our sins and therefore we get eternal life. Maybe God's love is so so big that when Jesus arrives, it will cause everyone to believe at that moment and everyone will end up being a child of God. If this happened, it will be the best thing God can ever do for human beings. Yesterday was Easter and I got to know Jesus a lot better and have been blessed all over again. It's amazing how far He will go just to save you simply for the fact that He loves you. His love is amazing and life can't get better after you met Jesus Christ. For now, I'm just waiting till the end comes, very soon now, so I can be with the One I love most in this world forever.

Good Friday
So today is Good Friday and the end of Lent is coming. This year I didn't even give up anything for Lent because I couldn't think of anything good to give up for God. A lot of people just do Lent for church or just because they're "Christian" and they think they should participate in Lent but when I see what they're giving up, it's just what they want to give up. Lent is giving up something for 40 days to pray to God instead of doing the thing you would be doing. If you gave up using the internet for entertainment purposes, you should pray during they times you would be online. When I saw what other people gave up, I think they just gave it up for just "fun" or just because they simply had to pick something. Of course this is just my thoughts but the meaning of Lent kinda disappeared. You know? Like last year I gave up part of my sleeping time to go to morning service at my church and by the end of Lent I felt really proud that I gave up sleeping time for my Savior and to be closer to Him. So maybe next year I could influence more people to not just give up something for a thing called Lent but give it up for Jesus our Savior. After all, Good Friday is the day that He died for us so we can have eternal life, so why not give something up for Him?

3.28
Two years ago today I met God. These two years have been the best times of my life so I want to share the story of how I came to know my Father.
So ever since I was little, I always went to church. I went to church because my mom and dad went every Sunday. So ever since I was young, I knew stuff about God and Jesus and how He came down to earth to save us. I'm not sure if I understood all that when I was young but there was a time when I was about 8 or 9 that I saw my first vision. We were at a retreat for church in Korea and I was taking a nap, but then I heard my friend fighting with his brother about something. Then I saw something, and this could have been just my imagination, but I saw a picture of good and evil fighting with each other. So I was thinking that the good way is that I stop them from fighting and the evil would be if I just let them fight and hurt each other. I picked the good way. Yeah this sounds kind of ridiculous but I was young and thought I did well. Then I was in 4th grade when I was at my first retreat in Chicago. It was the last night or so and we were all praying. All of a sudden I got this feeling that Jesus is my Savior and He did die to save my life. I remember crying and crying until someone came and prayed with me. I guess I've been having Spiritual moments from a young age, but I still didn't know if I have gotten salvation. After many years passed, I was in 8th grade. At church we have just gotten a new pastor for youth group and they've been telling us about God and Jesus and how salvation is very important for us and we had to understand God's love. Every time I heard their sermon, I got depressed because I knew I didn't have it yet and I wanted it really bad. On March 28th 2008, Friday, they were telling us about how demons try to get us farther away from God and His great love and that demons will knock us down and persuade us with worldly things. Then it hit me, that demons have been trying to pry me away from getting to know God and that God really loves and wants me to love Him back and I knew I had gotten my eternal life.
Now I still love God more than ever and think of that one day and think about what if I hadn't realized that God loves me and called me to be His daughter. It's a terrible thought. That's why I added this date in my phone calendar so I can always be thankful for what my Father has done for me. Sure I still go through difficult times but I know now that He will always be there for me no matter what and even if I do something bad, He will forgive me because He loves me. It's a wonderful feeling. No words can describe how much I love Him.
I will never let go of that salvation He has given to me.

First Times
There's a first time for everthing. Like this blog i made today. I also tried to make this thing called "Cyworld." It's like a Facebook for Koreans. But it was really a pain in the butt because they said I had to give them my Korean social security number (which I don't even know) or if I live somewhere else, my phone number. So i gave it to them. It was pretty much a bad decision because why would someone even do that in the first place and the "special code" didn't come anyways. So yeah. I only did it so I can keep in contact with my cousins in Korea, but it was just a waste of time and information.
First time things like: starting a new school or trying a new food can be a bother at times and annoying but as everyone says, "try it before you say anything." Right? Like this blog I just made, I'm going to be happy that I have somewhere I can share things with other people (even if not many people will be reading this) and share my life stories, thoughts, and feelings.
