Memories

I've had quite the 4-day weekend. Did I study once? Nope. God has just blessed me with such sweet and precious moments with friends. After the Lord and salvation, there is nothing more valuable than human relationships. What treasure could surpass a good laugh and memories?

If I could change one thing, I wish I took more pictures with my camera to capture some of these sweet moments. Here are some highlights of the times I did have my camera (I har had it second semester):

1. Brooke's birthday was last night, and it was so good to see everyone and celebrate!
2. Pledge retreat was a blast, and who knew that Carmen and Caroline and I were going to be in the same sorority?! Not this girl.
3. Painting up for the Mississippi State game was so exciting!
4. Daniel BURRITO driving us to the Braves game last Friday! I made so many friends and really enjoyed everyone's company.
5. Farmhouse rodeo was one of the first of many events the pledge class got together.
6. Maddy and I became best friends last fall. How? I'm not really sure, maybe because I came home so much.
7. Fall formal was great, and Marco was such a gentleman. Spring formal was fun as well, and I loved every minute of it (even though we had to leave early). Just hanging out in the Azeala Room was enough for me.
8. Christineyyy and I became BEST friends during this football game. Our best friend name is SUESTINE. Somehow we got separated from all of our friends, and then we ended up sharing testimonies and our hearts and fell in love!
9. Lauren Carter, what a doll. My first friend in Chi O, and we walked to the chapter room together after we got our bids! Now we are best friends!

This summer, I will be taking more pictures! There are so many other great great memories. I don't have any pictures with my new BFFs from FBCO. I want to have pictures of my own so I can print them out and stare at them. I have an issue with downloading pictures from Facebook because they are such low quality. Much better to have your hands on the original, you know?

"I make room in my heart, God"

Not too many people read this, but if you do, you have seen I have went through different name changes for this blog. [If you don't normally read this and you read this, I have grown up a lot in my faith and some of the posts I've written in the past years is not complete biblical truth so don't read them..] It was lovingabba, and I tried to make it something biblical and cool. The problem is is that everything is taken. One thing that is definitely not taken is my name, Myung Sue. If you don't know me then well you obviously didn't know that my first name is Myung, but I go by my middle name Sue. It's less ethnic and easy. But more recently I've been embracing my first name Myung, and my friends love calling me that. What's really fun is to say Myung Sue Kang all at once in a crazy accent of your choice.

Tonight was a really sweet night with the Lord. I went to dorm ministry bible study tonight, and hearing what God is doing on campus is so powerful, I can't even explain it. He is pointing people to salvation through some ordinary college kids. But these aren't ordinary college kids. The body of Christ here at Auburn has amazed me everyday!

School is basically almost over for me, I am two exams and a pizza party away from being a sophomore in college. WEIRD... But basically a huge part of my testimony for my freshman year experience at Auburn is experiencing the fullness of God through community and true biblical fellowship. Sounds like it should be on a brochure or something, but I'm being completely for real and serious. By the grace of God, I've been surrounded by Christians who are completely after Christ's heart. They don't just claim to know Christ and bring a few rando friends to church on Sunday, but these guys are taking it to the next level.

The body that I've been surrounded with has the love of Christ just oozing out of them like I've never seen. They love Christ so they do the things that the Bible says that seem just strange and unordinary. But Christians aren't called to be ordinary, and Jesus has chosen us to be set apart from the world (John 15:19). It's a classic Auburn thing to be not doing what the Bible says, but living it. What I've learned a lot of and still continue to be reminded of is that, it's not about doing all these things that Jesus told us to do in a checklist, but to pursue Jesus and seek Jesus and ultimately follow him in order that we might live our life according to truth and everything else will fall into place. Because these people are pursuing Jesus so much, they are witnessing to so many people each day, and not only that but serving in such a humble way that it can only point to the cross. I've met some great people in this world and some "altruistic" people, but this is incredible. [On a side note, I don't think anyone is truly altruistic except God and a minority amount of Christians. Every single human does something to receive something for their  actions.]

Joe talked about keeping a prayer journal. Then Zach talked about how God has answered, 700 prayers in 2 months. George Mueller had like 50,000+. How amazing. Really amazing. Not like "this froyo is amazing" but like God is powerful and faithful amazing. So I want to be posting and just praising God for his answered prayers whether he said yes or no and just giving him the glory! He does so much in our lives, and we just gotta embrace as much of it as we are able to!

Our soul waits for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield. 
For our heart is glad in him,
    because we trust in his holy name. 
Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,
    even as we hope in you.
{Psalm 33:20-22}
