Walking a mile in another woman's shoes.

So, for the 8+ years that Su Jin and I have been married she has been so supportive of my ministry. I hadn't realized it until now. I have been taking her for granted in so many ways. Ok, for the past few weeks since my resignation I have been trying to take care of the house, the girls, and dinner. For all you mothers out there reading this I acknowledge that what you do is TOUGH! Su Jin, I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!!

I will experience yet another aspect of what it means to support a minister of the gospel. The shoe is on the proverbial other foot today. We will be heading down to San Diego so that Su Jin could speak for a women's seminar. I'll be watching our kids while Su Jin is speaking. I'll be waiting around while Su Jin is meeting and talking with people. Su Jin has been doing this ever since Phoebe was born. When we go to church, Su Jin always had her attention on our kids. When one of the acted up she was the one to address them and correct them. If you are a husband/father reading this, let me encourage you to not leave this responsibility up to your wife. Hope I can be a good supportive hubby.

On a different technical note, I've turned on our RSS feed for this blog. I recently found out that I don't have to save all the blogs I read onto my bookmarks and go to each page manually. I can just subscribe to the RSS feed and click on favorites to see who has updated. For those of you who are using the RSS thank you!

New and improved...

So here's a picture of me with my new and improved hair cut. Actually this was me at the beginning of April. Now, it looks a little over grown. I'll go in for a little trim tomorrow. I was the only one in our family that liked my shaved head. Chloe cried (literally)! Phoebe was polite but it was obvious that she did not like it. Su Jin was... um displeased. Oh, well just a couple of more weeks and I'm sure it will be back to its full form.

I secretly wish I could shave it all off again!

On a different note: It seems like random Philly people come back into my life. Guess who came for a visit? Woosik Lim, aka: Woo Tang Clan (I think that had something to do with his email back in the day). He was one of the college students when I was a jundo in PHL. He's visiting some friends in LA and then off to a bachelor party in Las Vegas. So apparently Jason Paik is finally tying the knot. We had a nice chat reminiscing over carne asada burritos. Mmmm...

Church Plant
I'll be travelling again May 4 to preach in Edmonton. I also plan to go back again May 18th. They are planning a retreat for that weekend. I am planning to stop in PHL to visit my parents on May 21st and then off to NY for our denominations General Assembly. I would really appreciate all your prayers!

Our house situation
Lord, help us with this decision. As you may know, the housing boom in Southern California has finally plateaued (some were expecting the bubble to pop). It's a difficult situation for us b/c we have only been in the house for 17 months. What you may not know is that Edmonton has just started their housing boom. OK, then to summarize our current housing situation: buyer's market in So. Cal and seller's market in Edmonton. We're considering refinancing. Pray for us to make a wise decision.
