Today one of the ladies from church invited me to come along with her to NJ to go shopping at Han Ah Reum, a Korean grocery store. I had been wanting to buy kimchi, so it was perfect. But being in a Korean store, surrounded by other Korean people made me really miss my mom, so I called her while I was there, to see if she could offer some advice on which kimchi was the best kind to buy. Turns out she had just read my blog and found it really encouraging (which I was happy to hear). She told me how comforting God's sovereignty has been for her as she has watched me grow up and leave home to move to the Bronx. At first she had been really upset about my moving to New York, especially since this area of the Bronx isn't exactly known for being safe. "But", she said cheerfully, "I realized something. If it is God's will for you to be killed...then you are going to be killed no matter WHERE you go!"
There you have it. I couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks, Mom :)
Haha, I loved reading this, even though you already told me about it! Your mom is great.
