A Korean needs prayer

I recieved this from a friend of mine from church and it explains where she came from and such.. but Please read the following and I hope this touched your heart as much as it did my friend and pray for the gentleman and his family.
Thanks guys!

Greetings Friends and Family,

I just returned from a fantastic and wonderfully-blessed week at
Hartland Campmeeting in Virginia. It was an AWESOME and awe-inspiring week
with very
timely messages for these urgent times in which we live. Time is
short, Brothers and Sisters, and we haven't a moment to lose to
prepare our own hearts for the second coming and we cannot waste ONE
MOMENT in getting this message of the Gospel spread to the precious
souls around the world who are so in need of a loving Savior.

I wanted to ask you and your friends and church families to have
special prayer for a Korean young man at the college. He has been a
student there for several years. We ate Sabbath lunch with Dr. Standish and
his
family and this young man was there also. They told us that he was
leaving the school this week to go back to Korea. Apparently all
Korean men are required to serve at least 2 yrs in the military and
his time has apparently come. But because of his faith, he will
refuse to serve. Their military is not like it was here in the US
when we had the draft, where Conscientious Objectors could select to
be medics when they were drafted. You don't get a choice over there
in Korea. So he is being sent back to his country to be sent
immediately to prison for about 2 yrs because he refuses to serve.

The young man doesn't speak englisch very good, but he was amazingly
calm and peaceful about it and managed to say to us....."it's not so
bad now. People tell me they don't beat you any more at least."
(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Prison there is NOT like prison HERE~!!!!

We were so struck and immediately chastised in our hearts. We
immediately said to each other that we would NEVER complain about
anything again after we saw what this young man was facing~!!!!!!!
Our hearts just went out for him. We had special prayer for him and
assured him that we would continue to pray for him during this
horrible time for him. He will send an address to the college once
he knows where he will be sent, so we are going to try to send him
letters of encouragement and care packages as often as we can, if
they don't confiscate it from him. If you like, I will send you his
address once we have it, so you can share it with your own church
family and friends, if they would like to be involved in sending
encouragement and prayers of support to this young man. Just
absolutely amazing and heart-wrenching.

This just reminded me of what we will ALL be called to face sometime
in our lives to stand firm for our faith at all costs. A very harsh
and stark reminder of our high calling. PLEASE pray for this
precious young man and his family, who are likely to be extremely
worried about him. And pray that he will be a mighty witness and
minister for his faith to his fellow prisoners.

Blessings and Love to All and Be Strong in the Faith, =)

Hershey park!

ok first of all.. mom didn't go where i thought she did.. she went somewhere else.. i just dont remember where.. so anyway.. here's a few to start with..

First assumption

My first assumption of my mom's disappearance is this.. she has gone "out". I do have reasoning though.. There are certain cylinder pieces of aluminum in the trashcan and she was up way early this morning on the phone and being WAY too loud.. Which in the end woke me up early..


But on the flip side.. I got the best midnight phonecall in a LONG time.. if not my first midnight phonecall.. He called to let me know he was there for me and he wish he could have called earlier.. and i really like him... Mindy and Emily G. know who i'm talking about.. But he's gonna try to call at lunch so i will need to be available. but thats beside the point.. the point is, he called me and we talked for a little while until James said it was time to go to Sheetz. And it meant a lot, so thanks to you! It helped me think a little ;)

ok i give up it had to go up!! i can't contain it any longer!! ;) :P 

Kelsey, sabrina and Jeremy!  

whahahahahaha!! Kyla like whoa!!!  

yea yea its katie! muah!!! 

my breakfast one day.. someone told me that this might be one of doll's favs..  

MOOO!! 

Darebase! 

For you dolly.. the Lake.. The lake for you 

Emily Yancer took this when she came to visit.. i just love it.. an intense staring contest while giving eskimo kisses! :))  

Mindy, me, Sabrina, Ellie and Chuck in the back! Mindy thats how much i love you! ;) 

Sabrina and Bridget- my girls!  

ok guys.. take a DEEP breath!! This is Jeremy's shirt i'm wearing right here! he took it off for me!! yea i know right?!?! ;) :)))) I was estatic the rest of the day!! it was just the best.. but sadly i had to give it back.. and get my own..:(( :'( he had nothing to wear.. and we wouldn't want him to go shirtless all day now would we?!  

I love this!!! isn't it great?!?! yea tell me it is! ;) you know it!! 

this and.. i have soo many BEAUTIFUL pictures of Katie this year.. its.. its.. beautiful! 

James.. i love you soo much, be strong, take courage, dont be intimidated! don't give them a second thought because God, your god, is striding ahead of you, he is right there with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you! yea, i see that smile.. i just love this picture soo much!

what to say.. just sigh.. 

dude i love this guy too!! this is Drake everyone!! he is just amazing.. Gina b. understands 

Dolly's hot bro!! Dolly look!! 

My last piece of sanity has been knocked out of place

There is this piece in my violin, just a small round pole like thing that is inside my violin that keeps my violin sounding as it does. And I feel sorta like this violin of mine and this little piece is the last bit of sanity I own(ed). Without this piece in tact, my violin does not sound full but hollow. How may I have discovered this tad bit of information you may ask? Well, you see, this little yet very valuable piece of wood has been knocked out of its place some how in the last 20 minutes or so as I have just done the same myself emotionally. The losing of this little piece of unpolished wood has been knocked out of place at the exact same time my violin became useless and IT was my last thing keeping ME sane and together-my violin that is. Because there is no Katie and no Dolly… but mostly Katie right now I am in a state of … well some kind of depression I guess… I’ve slept almost all day since I got home and the only person I WANT to hear the voice of is Katie or Emily C. Dolly is no where to be found and I have learned to live without her for time being. Well Actually I’d be lying if I said I couldn’t find her because I know where she is, she is in Greece.

So back to this little piece of wood… Because it is not in tact anymore I can not play my violin and I cannot play it until I get it back from my violin shop in Boiling springs and I can not get it there until possibly tomorrow and THEN I must wait for it to be repaired. By that time I will be deprived of the specific sound that the vibrations create when my bow glides across the four strings I so gladly pride and treasure which are on the only violin I own. And also, until then I don’t think I will be even a little sane again… unless by some miracle Katie, Dolly or Emily pop up no my porch step to save me and give me the love, comfort and security that can only be fulfilled by them. Well besides God… but I have been in my bible and in the book of Mark since yesterday night- when I am awake that is. I have finished four chapters in the revolve study guide that Katie gave to me and I think I have sucked up every piece of information I read. So until then, I think I will remain insane. Sadly, I was NOT ready to leave camp so soon and leave Katie, Emily, Emily, Denise and everyone else… including Anthony, Drake, Abby, Peter and lots of the other guy staff… whom are amazing I might add..

Oh and... My mom asked if I could make my dad’s pamphlets for his memorial service thing... I said no... I don’t think I could do it... For anyone else maybe... But not my own parents- it’s impossible.

Mom turned on some music. I still have that.. ahh… music… Tyler.. Abby... thanks..

ugh! i love him!!!  

the greatest close up of me ever!
