The LORD is my shepherd.

Life is never easy and I am powerless.
This psalm reminds me,
the LORD is with me, he takes care for me all the time.

Psalm 23

1. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2. He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

3. He restores my soul.

he guides me in paths of righteousness for his name`s sake.

4. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me;

your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5. You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

6. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

``They are not different!!``

1. I like our thursday night meeting at mission possible.
Because I can see or hear how God transforms peoples lives although it is long process but God never give up his loving children. I also can experience peoples` honesties even though it is shame or guilt or pain people share it with others.
I really feel blessed by these.

Last night meeiting was like that and it confirmed me this my thought again.
WE were talking about `commitment`
People shared with us their struggles of this topic or others said they are learning it now,
yet how difficult it is.
When I heard all of these stories I could think this again
`These people are not different from ordinary people which means when society sees these people who are addict or homeless they are not ordinary and they are lower member of society ` but to me of course not. Those people who have drug or alcohol problems or street people, yes, probably their life styles are different but their problems can not change their value and dignity.
When I got this thought I was so pleased and gave thanks to God for he has put me in this ministry and changed my point of views like God sees people.
It is big big blessing for me.

Thanks God I praise you and honor you.

2.Last night at the meeting I asked my friend who came from UGM about one guy he was in UGM program. As I remember he would graduate in this month but my friend said to me `he left before oneday his graduation.`
When I heard it I truly felt very sorry for him and I could guess why? because about one month ago when we had thursday night meeting at our house he told me his fear of what next step will be after his graduation, at that time I told him someone`s story and encouraged him to share his worry with others not to hold in himself and I said I would prayed for him. Actually I prayed for him several times however he left there.
Of course, It gave me a discouragement but I know also this is a process of recovery and I believe that he knows God, although he is now own his way, and yet God is with him and God never let his children go far away from him.
Tonight before go to bed I will pray for him.

It is growing!!

This morning I was helping breakfast at the drop-in on 16th fraiser st.
One guy came to me first and warmly said `Hi MunHee`
When I heard this I was very pleased and gave thanks to God.
Because it showed me my relationship with people whom I have met at the drop-in has been growing up and there was more openness I felt.
In this case I have known him and his girl friend only few month but lately whenever she sees me she hugs me first and she calls my name and tells me what her feeling or life condition is.
He has seen that and then he probably started to think I am their friend.
So today he showed this feeling toward me.
I am so thankful to God this and praise Him

Thanks my friend.

I have a friend.
He is a nice man and cares people, he has a girl friend however his girl friend has a drug and mental problems.
He loves her so much although it is tough but he always cares for her.

After morning church on the way to our house he saw his girl friend was walking on the hastings street she seemed to be on drug and look for something. When my friend saw this I could see he was in pain and wanted to get off the van to ran to her but he didn`t do it.
After lunch, at 3 :30 pm usually we give people a ride to down town, at that time my friend was in the car he was going to see his girl friend and help, when I saw this I called him and told
`It is not good for you and you can not rescue her you will be more hurt instead. Stay here and go to church ask God for help.`
He agreeded what I said and knew he couldn`t help but he cared so just wanted to see she was okay. I knew that how much he loves and cares for her yet he can not do anything for her at all.
Tankfully he listend to me and didn`t go to down town and then he came to afternoon church with me.

When I was in Partners in Hope ministry first time I was like him I wanted to help and rescue people so I phoned many time to my friends make sure they were okay because I cared for them a lot. Later when I was in a different ministry I learned and knew it was not right and I couldn`t help them.
Therefore, today how could I say it to my friend? The reason is I`ve been there and I knew what it was.

This is one of my experiences today and I give thank to God and my friend who didn`t refuse my advice.

God bless you whoever reads this.^_^

down town experience.

Today when I was walking along the street on east hastings I saw a man he was passing by me.
He looked like a homeless and no hope on his face.
When I knew this I was sad and felt sorry for him and I questioned to myself.
`Who want to be a homeless! who wants no hope? when people were born did they want to have these kind of lives? No!.` but as a human being we have a tendency we often ignore those people, honestly I was...(maybe not ignored them but I didn`t think they are the same human being like normal ordinary people.) however since I `ve been in this ministy I have learned people we are equal before God it doesn`t matter what we`ve done God looks at us as his lovely children he wants us to know the truth and his heart is more close to broken hearts.
I had briefly this thought and prayed for him in silence.
This is today`s my one of experiences at down town.
