BlackBerry Journey (1) // "Good Bye"

I write a lot on my BlackBerry when I'm walking to and from class or just have alone time. As I was reviewing them, I found some that I thought were very important to share in order to show how God has been working in my life and, hopefully, to encourage you.

"All we ever do is say goodbye and it's slowly getting harder each time. I hate having to let people go because that means that I am not going to be there watching over them and encouraging them and just being with them. I am letting them go and leaving it up to what I think is chance. But that's not true. In reality I am leaving them up to You and You can take much better care of people than I ever can. As much as I might love them and desire to be with them because of it, I know that You are love and Your love is perfect and exactly what they need. The words I say and write, the hugs I give and receive, they are all a simple part of your intricate and ultimate plan to keep defining what True Love really is and I am thankful to be part of that. Please help me remember that and always be grateful for the grace You've shown me in even blessing me with relationships to foster."

Thankfulness

This vid has been a good reminder to me to always be thankful for things I usually take for granted. I hope it can be a reminder for you as well



still a lot of summer left!

I am growing up and I am terrified of what is to come. It is strange because now when I listen to phrases like "A New Way To Be Human" and questions of "Why Georgia?" they seem to be a lot more relatable as I begin to ponder these thoughts for myself. Lately I've been really struggling with finding out who I am. The name Bryan Kang seems to be so undefined, or maybe misdefined, or maybe misinterpreted by me. I've been learning about what it means to be a son of God and discerning what His plans are from my own and realizing that they fail to coalesce most of the time. Satan has definitely placed his deadly pokes and prods at strategic points to break and torment me when I am most weak and have fallen into what feels like The Valley of the Shadow of Death. He's fed my pride and fueled my envy to the point where I have failed to love those around me especially my own self. But through it all God has guided and shepherded me and shown me a greater understanding of what it means to be forgiven and loved and grown me in the gospel message. I am still on this journey and ask for patience and encouragement because I find it hard to do that for myself
