Love Wins Once Again

Mom came down to SD to surprise me! <3

"I'll be there in one hour!"

I gasped. oh shhh my room! no not really. I was happy. =] She came in with lots of food and chips and made lunch (bulgogi!) for me and my apartment and then did a major facelift for our nasty kitchen. It was like I was the one visiting and mom was doing her thing and telling me to clean this, wipe that, get her trash bags and paper towels, and get out. heh.

"umma you don't have to"

"Didn't you say you have morning prayer everyday at your house? You should at least be keeping your house clean for those who come."

Woosh. Prayer is serious business. It hit me how callous I've become to prayer in general. And just like that I am reminded and convicted of godly things quicker than a whole quarter of studying and memorizing those same godly things. Actions speak louder than words. (Now couple that with the Word and you got yourself a killer combination) She's always teaching me humility. She's always correcting me and building me up. She's always praying. She's always pointing to Scripture. She's always loving Jesus. She's always thinking 'Kingdom purposes'.

Afterwards, I took her to the cliffs to see the sunsetting ocean. She liked it a lot. We waved hi to a paragliding man who was so close to us that I could have probably jumped and gave him a high five. Before saying bye and leaving for LA she gave me this small mp3 player looking thing that contains a Korean audio bible (and only a Korean audio bible). She was saying how I need to practice my Korean because I'm going to need it in the future. I knew exactly what she meant, but none of us actually says it. It's so obvious that it's become an unspoken passion, that is, if the Lord is willing. God's timing is beautiful. God is so good. All praise to God!

Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.

1 John 3:18

To the best umma in the world! I love you! <3
