"Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. for the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him." - Isaiah 30:18This weekend has been surreal. Too many things happened, and I feel like it has been all a dream (partially because I've been taking a lot of naps). Three crazy things happened this weekend. But I'll keep it concise and share about two of them.
#1. Jubilee Project Fellowship
I applied for a film internship/volunteer position with Jubilee Project. If you haven't heard of them, I recommend that you check them out on YouTube! (https://www.youtube.com/user/jubileeProject) It's a non-profit organization that makes short films and documentaries about social injustice/awareness topics.
At first, I wasn't going to apply because the application requires a 4-6 page script. I've never written a script, so I didn't want to embarrass myself. However, an idea sparked into my head a week before the deadline. I wrote it, and sent it in (Shout out to John Ki, Jooch Kim, and Joseph Hur for proofreading and providing feedback). And as of Friday, I have been accepted into the Fellowship! All honor and glory to God.
I don't know what to expect. All I know is that it's a two week camp to film a short, learn, and meet people! I still haven't processed this amazing opportunity that I've been given.
#2. A-Team
This past Friday, I was announced to be one of four administration leaders for my college fellowship. I have to say that it is such a blessing to have an opportunity to serve the church in this capacity. And of course, I'm very excited to work with my other 3 team members: Lisa, Jennifer, and Yeachan.

I want this post to encourage you all. I'm not here to brag. Honestly, I don't deserve any of these blessings that I've received. I continue to find fault and flaws in my life. But I want to testify that God blesses those who wait upon Him.
God wants the best for us. What Father doesn't want the best for His children? However, I believe that it's important to wait on His schedule and His time. If we truly believe that He knows WHAT is best for us, then we should also know that He knows WHEN is the best time for us. Let me go back to the two things I shared.
#1. This past school year, I've had a desire to try filming. I had so many ideas I wanted to create. But school kept me busy. I became frustrated because I didn't have an opportunity to try my interests. Throughout each semester, I found myself complaining. I even began to question my major. But God answered my prayer and gave me an opportunity.
#2. Ever since my freshman year, I wanted to serve on A-Team. But they were for the wrong reasons. Business always tells you, "it's a good resume builder". That was my reason. It's a stupid reason.
Side note: If you're doing something just to put it on your resume, then your priorities are messed up. But that's a rant for another time.I had all the wrong reasons to want to be on A-Team. Eventually, I didn't think much about A-Team. I didn't see it as something that I needed, but rather as something that I would gladly accept if I was called to serve. I was at peace with whatever happens.
So there you have it. God taught me to be patient. To wait on His time and to be at peace with whatever happens and whenever it happens. So I hope you pray and ask for patience. I hope you can pray to wait upon the Lord. He'll bless you at the right moment.
