here are  movies & classes in my life that's really burning in my heart right now.
* must see movies:
The Mission (1983)
Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Invisible Children (2006) - www.invisiblechildren.com
* sweet classes:
International Relations Politics
History of Christian Tradition
General Psychology

so what is this randomness?  many of you know that i've never really watched television since 9th grade, cuz i didn't have tv in my apt during highschool period.  moreover, i couldn't see the point in keeping up with news, cuz most of the time it talks about something unhappy -  i thought news pouted & complained too much when there is so much beauty in the world! >_<! eeek!  but now i know how awesome media is, cuz we get to pray for everyone*

this semester, i finally decided to learn about international politics.  i always had huge problem with malnutrition & unfair health care & such around the world, and i wanted to at least learn about what people's excuses are on this issue.  international relations so crazy complicated cuz it pretty much doesn't have any strongly enforced rule, everyone saying one thing & doing another, agreeing & disagreeing at the same time, cooperating but not, kindda looking out for each other but not really, and.. waaaaah! just horribly tangled up mumble jumble i must say.   i'm just super thankful that i am able to be informed about issues of the world through resources around me.  i know i'm the least educated person in the world about politics, but i truly respect those of you who have genuine passion for politics, cuz you guys are dews from heaven, changing the world for the body of Christ, in front of God's eyes! ;)

on the other hand, crystal hyunjung lee is a person who's just confused most of the time & all ? haha  politics and law gives me brain freeze for life hahaha  my unchanging vision is to go hug my brothers & sisters who need eternally burning love of Christ!  and classes that i'm taking are really opening my eyes to a lot of things.  i can't explain everything on here, so i'm not really gonna try, i hope God'll spill the secret of my heart to yall for me when you pray ;) haha my eye lids are all heavy & i'm so brain dead right now hahaha  all i can say here is that i have to be in the place where my heart is at. =*)  & i'm so thankful that God places pieces of my life puzzle whenever i need them to be found.. 

my dazzling china lovers, keep on dreaming big & silly & happy!  i love you all..  i want to be in the same place where my dearest lovers are at, but i know we are in the same place at heart..  man i wanted to be super cheezy/corny but i think i'll save that for my personalized kisses ;)  just... find me in the place where my big Daddy leads me!  ooooo so romantic* haha  

 LOVE YOOOOMUAH*

my babies... i'm alwyas praying for you..... jjjjjok*

SPRING BREAK 2006! i'm going to New Orleans to help out w/ Katrina relief with 16 people from my church.  man, i'm SOOOOO excited for my third week of march!  i KNOW God's gonna touch precious hearts in New Orleans, as He has been already doing right now!  we got a lot of things to prepare for, which means we need infinite amount of prayers from all of you!  & if you'd like to help out financially, do contact me 919-923-2762 or send checks to 407 Winston Hall, Chapel Hill, NC, 27514 =) 

above all, PLEASE PRAY FOR US!
>> we're driving 22 hours with two vans - please pray for our safety. 
>> i hear it's still quite unsanitary over there, and we are going to go do some major clean ups - please pray for our health.
>> we're going to have Bible studies & worhip & praises - please pray for us & people we will be meeting in New Orleans: we all may be fully open so that God may freely do His work in our hearts as much as He pleases to do ;)
>> please keep people who are having hard times in your prayer, brothers & sisters close by & far away who are dear to our & God's heart. =)

& THANK YOU so much for all of your prayers, i'm doing really GOOD! i also really want to thank my dear sisters & brothers who prayed for our mission team as we went to China missions past summer.  summer 2005 was my best summer EVER! you know, even when i was on the airplane heading to China, i thought i was going to share beautiful unconditional love of Christ, but throughout missions God taught me so much unexpected / unimaginable love from others... yo how am i going to explain my experience in China... i always said i want to be a missionary, but being in the mission field definately confirmed my lovely vision!  i can't wait to go back on the mission field, and i'm really trying hard everyday to remind myself that wherever i am right now is my mission field... and that's an amazing happiness right there!!!!!!  when i was in highschool, my favorite sunday school teacher 'na young unni' told me how exciting the college life can be when i focus on God's plan.  ever since, i've been wondering what kind of excitement she was talking about, even after i got into college..... and for me, being in the mission field is the most excitement in my life.   i'm just so thankful to God for loving me & you & eveyone in the world soooooooooo MUCH!!!!!!!!! =D 

i've been dropping immense amount of tears, because i am unable to go to China again this summer.  my parents are really worried about me all the time, they get upset whenever i go out of Chapel Hill  (even when i go over to Durham, which is 16 minutes away, they get really worried) haha =P   & they said my last summer missions was the first & last missions i'll be attending till i get MARRIED!!!!!! somebody please marry me right NOW! =P hahaha jk ;)  so yea.  they were strongly against on me going on New Oreans too, but hey, God wants me to go, cuz they finally gave me permission hehehhehehehehhe =)  however, they really don't want me to go to China during summer.  but i'm happy, cuz i'm know that means God will open doors for some other missons in Korea! AMEN AMEN! yayaaah~ =) haha

hey, if you have any prayer topics, DO let me know & be certain that i'll be praying for you & believe that God always answers every single prayers! =) love, MUAH! ;)

China mission : july 12 - 29, 2005.

this summer'll be my very first tangible step toward my dream..
the dream that seemed unreachable,
the dream that i could never ever have dreamt by myself.

i believe He is dreaming with me as He always have been. ^v^*

i'm so thankful, because..
even before my parents knew each other,
God chose my daddy & mommy among zillions of people to be my parents,
& He dreamt about me, allowing me to be His dream come true.. ;)

i'm dreaming, because He is able.
able to make me dream,
able to make my dream come true.

i remember..
that birthday present my one & only sister gave me few years ago..
   a lil mouse reaching for the star on the moon w/ a message 'reach for the star!'
that card  my cuttest mom gave me during my SAT week
   circlish pink post card with happy girls & a big star w/ a message 'you're my star!'
that voicemail my gel mut jin dad left me during my final exam week
   his own goofy melodies w/ a message 'you're my happiness!'
sa rang hae yoing~ woo ri unni, umma, appa~~

&.. honestly i can't name you all,
but all of you who encouraged me & made me smile even when i was crying..
tho i wish all those people who became my past memories to be with me forever,
i'm truly thankful that He sent all of you to me by my side when i needed you the most. =)
& i'm so overwhelmed by all of you who are with me right now, making new days together,
because i can't do anything alone & He knows i need you all the most right now =D
((...of course i need Him mucho lotz above all but.. you know what i mean haha))

please remember me in your prayers as i prepare for the mission this summer,
i truly hope to dream the dream that He has given me.. ^-^..

but most importantly,
would you dream with me??? hehe.. oh wowowow this sounds mawkishly sentimental hahahahaha =P

thank you for the encouragements, tears, laughs, prayers, & loves,
you all are truly the angels' best..
boy, i'm so happy~~
we have been heaven blessed! 
i can't believe what God has done,
through us He's been blessing one another!
aren't ya'll so lovely, full of love~~~

~*~*~*~*~*bgs::: stevie wonder + isn't she lovely

i try so hard to stay strong, knowing all is just a process & will turn out beautiful in the end.

but sometimes i need to break down & cry in a long prayer,

and tonight was one of them. ^v^..

my voice quieted down as i prayed, and soon i found myself speechless

for a smile was only word that was left.

thank You for Your love that's so.. much more than enough..

thank You for overwhelming blessings when i really deserve none..

there really is no greater love than His. =*)

for all those tears & laughs,

for the warm & cold breezes outside,

for all rain & sunshine in my life,

for those stars on the sky,

for the friendships,

for my family,

for the truth, love, & life

for Him always being with me..

^^ enough, more than enough..

for all the worst & all the best,

i am so.. blessed.. ^________________^
