hello hello everyone:)
how's everyone doing?
i'm really excited because
my grandmother will be coming america next thursday :)
i can't wait to see her! i miss her so much ..
but something worries me is that my grandmother is not saved.
she goes to catholic church with her friend, i think..
and i think God is giving me an opportunity to evangelize :)
i hope my grandmother can be saved :)

i read 1 peter chapter 1 to remind me retreat at christian academy,
and i read James chapter 5 verse 13 to 20, the page right before 1 peter.
it really touched me, so i'd like to share James 5:13-20 today :)

Are any of you in trouble? Then you should pray.
Are any of you happy? Then sing a song of praise.
Are any of you sick? Then send for the elders of the church to pray over you.
Ask them to anoint you with oil in the name of the Lord.
The prayer offered by thoes who have faith will make you well.
The Lord will heal you. If you have sinned, you will be forgiven.
So admit to one another that you have sinned.
Pray for one another so that you might be healed.
The prayer of a godly person is powerful.
It makes things happen.
Elijah was just like us. He prayed hard that it wouldn't rain.
And it didn't rain on the land for three and a half years.
Then he prayed again.
That time it rained. And the earth produced its crops.
My brothers and sisters, suppose one of you wanders away from the truth
and someone brings you back. Then here is what I want everyone to remeber.
Anyone who truns a sinner from going down the wrong path will save him from death.
God will erase many sins by forgiving him.
wow... it is long :) but it is really good,
i think the reason why it touched me so much is that
my grandmother is not saved, my cousins in korea are having hard time,
and i am having hard time with applying colleges...
these verses encouraged me to pray for them and
it is certain that He is listening to me:)
i'm very relieved and happy right now :D
have a good evening:)
i will see you all tomorrow!

Cause that's been like my feelings within just the span of a day. I guess there's really no bad time to involve God in some sort of way

See ya tomorrow
