9 Years This Day

Today, Eunkyung and I celebrate our 9 year wedding anniversary.  I know for most people in my congregation, that’s like nothing!  It’s still baby years!  But for Eunkyung and I it means everything!

I feel like we have accomplished so much in 9 years and that we still have the motivation and excitement to see what God has planned for us!  Since we got married, we traveled to Palau, Malaysia, Vietnam, and all over the USA and South Korea.  We still have plans in wanting to travel in Europe, so maybe God will plan that for us some time later.  Together, we have two beautiful children and couldn’t be happier with what God has blessed us with.  Eunkyung became a citizen, earned a BSN and got a job working as a registered nurse!  So proud of her!  Meanwhile since I have been with her, I was a youth pastor, then associate pastor, then senior pastor.  I must say, we did pretty well!  Not too shabby!

Eunkyung and I had our share of hurdles and growing pains, but through resilience, faith, and encouragement, we overcame with God’s help.  I know that in our lives together ahead there will be more challenges, but I know that we will be ready for them! 

I cannot wait to see what the future lies ahead!  I can’t wait to see how she grows, how I grow, and how we grow together.  I can’t wait to see what Norah and Ben will look like as they grow older, what will their character be like, and just see them growing up! 

What is God’s plans for us in the future?  Will we be ready?  Will we continue to live joyfully, regardless of the bumps in the road?  What does God see that we cannot see yet?  The anticipation is killing me!  But I am excited to share more and more years with Eunkyung! Many more years and countless of blessing to come!
