being 'material girl'

    While leading summer camp last week at camp, my campers and I played 'Just Dance 3' on the Wii. It was amazing to dance and sing along to some popular tunes. I was singin' 'Price Tag' by Jessie J. and the lyrics seem to stick to me that entire day...it was the first line of the song, for those who don't remember. Seems like everybody's got a price. And that is exactly how I feel all the time when I hang around people that make brand name seem like EVERYTHING!
     Shopping with them is super uncomfortable sometimes because I feel like their priorities are really, really, really materialistic! Here are MY thoughts: We are created unique and aren't judged by the clothes we choose to wear. The price that is on your clothing will be lost one day when God takes you back to heaven. Then, everything from Prada to Coach to Burberry will be G-O-N-E.
      So many people believe that we can spend money on upgrading ourselves through our clothes and accessories, but why can't we reach out to help those who can't afford having a t-shirt to wear. It's not about the money, money, money!

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

The last song that Rachel Berry sang on Glee was a Celine Dion song called To Love You More . This song means a little more to everyone today because a wonderful actor left for heaven yesterday. i just want to share some of the [amazing] lyrics to you "I'll be waiting for you  Here inside my heart  I'm the one who wants to love you more  You will see I can give you  Everything you need  Let me be the one to love you more"  God Bless, ch
