Decision making is about right or left.

Life starts with B and ends with D. What is there between B and D? The answer is C.
B means Birth, D Death, C Choice.

Life is a consistent decision making procedure.
How many decisions did I make?
Have I always been satisfied with my decisions? Definately No.

I've always been not sure of the decisions I made through my life. I'm even thinking what would have happened if I had made a different choice especially about my career. I like to do my work and I love to see the result of my work and I can only stay up whole nights doing my work, but I'm always unsure of what my real passion is and continuously asking myself whether it was right or wrong choice..

Today's sermon was about the decision making. The pastor said that the decision making is not about right or wrong, but about right or left. We could make mistakes, feel frustrated with our decisions, but along with the process God can eventually lead us to His path. To make decisions God wants us to make, we should seek His kingdom first. We should pray to Him, read the Bible and above all we should trust in Him. Even though we fail with the decisions, God has always been faithful and He is in control.

I believe God will lead me to His way through all the paths I took. Along with the path, even though I feel astray heading to nowhere, I will eventually find my way in God and He will use me to glolify Him and to reveal His grace.

Snowing in Seattle


people said that it was so unusual to have this much snow in seattle.
a lady next to me in the airplane said, "it's more like minnesotta."
yeah.. it's all white. 7 or 8 inch-thick snow piled up in the roofs and top of the cars..

this may be my 5th trip to seattle. i always like this nurdy looking city a lot.
well developed, but still with reminiscence..
classy together with kitchy..
sophosticated, but austere..

i liked the double-sided feature of this city..
what would it be like for me to resemble this city..
nurdy and femmefatale ??

The author tells us about her extraordinary success as a banker in New York.
I was not interested in her job field, but I was really curious about the paths she took to accomplish her dream.

She never stops pursuing her dream.
She is never afraid of confronting challenges.
She never underestimates her ability.

She presents useful 7 habits to realize your Dream.
1. Set the Life Goal.
2. Plan the time.
3. Practice, Practice, and Practice.
4. Be a mania!
5. Find Mentors.
6. Discipline yourself in English. **
7. Remember your Dream when you went astray.

** The author was born and raised in Korea until her late 20s.

Where am I heading to??

I was so frustrated and full of complaints about everything..
and I even felt myself trivial and useless...

However, I heard a sermon today and realized that my life is what God has created and planned.

Pastor Michael Lee said that Worship is not an event with a certain time slot, instead it is a Life Style of responding to who God is and what he has done.

I decided to simply trust in the promise of God..
