Happy Easter!

By faith and hope, we are able to meet Jesus and rise with him. We are grateful for everything, everything that brought us to him. Today, we are reconciled in joy with our entire lives.

God has sent His Son to die and rise for our salvation. His victory saves us from the power of sin! Aaah!

Ephesians 2:4-6
"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions - is it by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms of Christ Jesus."

Why does He love us so much?! I don't get it! 

It's Easter already-
I have failed my lent giveups this year :(
& I feel as though I haven't prepared myself for it. I did not allow myself to grow more connected with Jesus Christ. Although I feel as though I have failed, I actually haven't.
Because it's starting again.

We have life because we have Jesus Christ in us.
Through Him, I can do anything!
Give me strength!
What have I been doing with myself here @Dartmouth?! the WORST EVAAaa

anyway-happy easterrr :)

love,
jules

Dear Juliana,

Could you stop pretending like your life sucks? Because it really doesn't,

Could you get up, do some work, get some college education, do your laundry, find your key, stop wasting time on facebook and dailycute.net, stop daydreaming about nonsense, stop whining to the world, start reading the bible more, have more faith, become motivated, be a better friend/sister/daughter, and then appreciate life a little more?
Remember of how blessed you are.
What is your problem and why is that your problem? Why are you being a little baby? Even though people call you a baby, it's not real! age-19. This is "prime time" of life! Stop wasting it!! Stop being lazy pls @now!!

Why are you hating so much? Why can't you love more? Why have you pretended like you don't need anyone? Why are you so mean to your friends? You're the worst! Stop making people feel bad!

You know what you have to do.
Here are your two immediate goals: get good grades/college degree + lose weight. 
You can't do anything without effort! Why do you need yourself to encourage and remind yourself?!
Why are you blogging to yourself? You're ridiculous!

Juliana Park- do something. You have to change yourself before you can change the world.
하느님이 사랑하는 선유야 -화이팅! ^^*

Love,
Juliana-

The Purpose of Life

is to LOVE

to love God, family, friends, others and yourself.

so hard to do
cus understanding love is hard
actually everything is hard
life is hard! -you agree?

We watch movies, read books, sing about love. I think that we feel loved sometimes, but that's only a part. Love is so big, expansive and we are only experiencing little by little in our journey.
Love is so much sacrifice, so little of yourself.

To me, the Bible is Love. It's not a way to justify life. It's not a means to evaluate people's actions.
I don't think God is asking us to worship him or wanting us to fulfill certain duties. 
Our God is too good for that.

God is simply asking us to love Him and to share that love. (& through that love, WE are the ones who want to worship Him. WE are the ones who want to live in His glory, because WE want to. because of the love we received- we want to give something to him) Sharing something from the Bible is sharing love.
That is why he wants us to spread the Word. He doesn't mean to spread specific verses or historical knowledge about what someone has done in the past. He isn't asking us to be missionaries or to read everyday.

The thing is -He's not asking for anything!
except to live by love.

Consuming Fire

that song has been in my head forever! 
Consuming fire fan into flame,
A passion for Your Name,
Spirit of God would You fall in this place,
Lord have Your way,
Lord have Your way with us
 
If I were truly able to trust in His way, then I wouldn't even need to ask for anything. 
None of us would, right? 
Yet I am always asking. Through prayer, through personal efforts -
I am trying to construct my own life and simply asking for God's blessing.
Although I know I have so much, I don't feel it.
Sure, I can say the the treasures in heaven are the only thing that matters.
Yet, what about success on earth? Should that be neglected?
I feel like it's always people who have succeeded so much, 
who have done amazing things already, 
who have aced their life, 
who have become an admired figure 
who tell me this. 
Those who have less will have more in eternity.
Well, then what about those who have a lot?
What about those who know God so well, who give so much to God
AND are blessed with all these talents, wisdom, beauty, and ridiculous success.
What happens to them? 
They have treasures in heaven, but also on earth -right? 
Wow, they just have so much treasure everywhere. 
Treasure treasure treasure. 
Oh and then they are telling me that I only need treasure in heaven.
 
Hmm...
