"Faith does not make things easy... It makes them possible."- Paraphrased Luke 1:37
I remember when I was three we had this church in the back of the our pastor's house. It was a trailer with 20 seats in it. Very old school. We were trying to get enough money to get a bigger church and all. (That good ol' building fund) The daycare was his house. We tore that place up. LOL. He didn't mind. He asked us to go ahead and clean it up when we are through. Our parents worked diligently to make the church better. And amazing it was. We moved from the country back woods to the middle of the city. The journey was needed as the church grew bigger. Our pastor, Pastor Jin, knew we needed more stability so that we could reach out to our church members better. There in lays our start of our Korean International Baptist Church. They were pushed to make a way for them to head towards God's path. Now, 28 years later, it seems like a funny imagination. So what was happening at that time? My mom was a 36-ish year old Korean Lady who had lived in the US for about 9 years. She was a former believer in Buddhism, but found God. I in turn grew up in a christian home and so has our generations to come.
We created a christian heritage in our family from there. Always blessed even in our worse hours. We've seen joy. We've seen pain. All in all, we've been through something. Now that we paved the road, what's next? Refer to 2 Kings Chapter 2 & 5. Also Psalm 127. It's not an easy road, but we still have to keep moving on. Let us never forget where we came from. We came from His image and love.
1 Thessalonians 5:11-Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
