@joint mission conference #worship#hillsong#brockuniversity

"And I'll stand with arms high and hearts abandoned, in awe of the One who gave it all..." 
                                                                                                      [The Stand, Hillsong]

           Every time I worship God, I don't always feel his presence but the worship tonight, I was sure that I felt God here at Brock University's Joint Mission Conference. As I was singing with the rest of the English Congregation this song 'above', people in front and behind me raised their hands showing that they are submitting to God. I couldn't help but join them in worship the Lord Almighty. At that moment, I was sure that God was present, it was beautiful. The drums weren't the best, the singing wasn't the best, but the presence of God was truly, truly beautiful. 
            As a person that is always scared about how I look in front of others. I saw a teen about the same age as me and he was truly worshiping God. When I looked at him, I had confidence to worship and lifted my heart and arms to worship my Lord in actions.
            It is a true blessing to be at this retreat because it was definitely a chance to see how other people worship the Lord. As I move forward, may the worship of God be sounding around the entire world before He comes again. This is all because God is the one whom we should all worship with our soul, our mind, our heart and our strength...

Psalm 95: 1-2 Come let us sing for joy to the Lord. Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

failure

failure. The way I feel about myself today...I did a horrible job and my head is filled with regret. I want to go back and do it all over again but that's simply impossible. Bible study yesterday was a big mess! I felt like I was speaking about the bible but not being productive about it. My group deserved a better bible study leader and a better bible study. I apologize to my group that they had to sit through that. I apologize to my pre-study leaders for butchering their prestudy like that...but most of all, I owe an apology to God. I'm sorry that bible study turned out like that. It's been hard to recover from this regret but I guess... As God continues to mold me into a better leader and prune me to bear better and stronger fruit...I will listen and dedicate my life to hear what He has instored for me! ~c.h.

slice of life: hospital playlist review

Image
        As a long-time asian drama viewer, my friends, family members and I always critique television shows for depicting unrealistic lifestyles and showcasing illogical love stories. Hospital Playlist is a clear exception, as it illustrates the life of five long-time friends who meet in medical school. They eventually wind up working as surgeons in Yulje Hospital. As they deal with the emotional roller coaster that comes with being a doctor, Professor Song-hwa, Ik-Joon, Jun-wan, Seok-Hyung and Jeong-Won also tackle normal life as a 40 year old. Just like ordinary humans, we often forget that doctors are also succumb to sickness, familial problems and career changes. The "slice of life" drama does not shy away from illustrating the two-fold life of a doctor- both as society's superheroes and ordinary individuals. Amidst their fast-paced work environment, viewers get a peek into doctors' lives, as they work tirelessly to maintain a sense of humanity in a highly stress

real faces and happy endings: it's okay to not be okay review

Image
       As an Asian-Canadian, I sincerely thank the producers, actors and writers of "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" for creating a drama that sheds light on mental illnesses and childhood trauma. While illustrating a beautiful love story, they have opened the door for viewers to discuss and reflect on our mental health and emotional burdens. By breaking the stigma around mental health issues, "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" is a healing television series that explores the life of an eccentric fairytale author (Moon-young) and psychiatric hospital nurse (Gang-tae). As we learn about their childhood hardships, viewers embark on a journey where both characters learn to unleash their shackles and live for themselves. We also meet Sang-tae, Gang-tae's autistic brother who struggles with being independent and post-traumatic stress. At the psychiatric hospital, viewers are also introduced to a group of patients who are battling their own demons- from alcoholism, depressi
