imperfect.

I am in awe. it has been 6 days and i already have 24 followers. Not that it is a significant number but just the fact that when i decided that i was going to blog, i had no idea that soo many people would be inspired by my words and decide to start one or post about it. This really makes me happpy because i realize that i have been Gods tool these past 6 days. Being able to inspire others to start blogging and in turn, they influence others, i feel like God has used my hands to influence many people. Not only that, the things that these people write are also so powerful and so encouraging that i cannot help but want to run around screaming in joy about His love.

However, as much as i am grateful my words inspired others, i must admit, it was not me but rather God that wrote through me. I am imperfect and so unworthy of His grace yet He loves me nonetheless. I am not going to lie, i am really passionate about my Savior but I also am not anyone to tell you how to live your life. I am no greater than the next person as I too sin. I truly believe one of the only ways to change your life is to confront the sin in your life. it exists in everyones life, mine, yours, the JDSN, everyone. Having those that can keep you accountable can make the difference.

Before i used to cuss alot as perhaps those that knew me before can attest to that. In these past couple of months, i have avoided cussing at all costs; i have often caught myself from saying the words as the words were so used to easily coming out. for these past couple of weeks i am proud to say that not once did i cuss but that ended today. Through my growing frustration with calculus i let out a couple of F bombs and you know it really shocks me that i did it. thankfully yoseph was there to talk to me and i felt like i needed to confess this to all my brothers and sisters out there. We all sin, its inevitable, but we cannot live a life where we sin, pray for forgiveness, and go right back and sin again. in order to permanently change, we need support and prayer and accountability is a major role in every christians life.

I feel like we all have our sins, some that are more unknown and secret, but my challenge to everyone is to CONFRONT this sin this week and do not be afraid to seek help from your family in Christ and above all, pray for strength from God himself.

Grace

im really sorry i dont know what im writing about. these things were just on my mind and i felt i should just blog instead of doing the Scarlet Letter essay.

IT is 2:05 and i only have 1 page done of my essay however i feel as if this is more important to get off my chest. in these past weeks, the amount of growth towards God that i have felt is amazing. not only that, ive drawn closer to SO many people this year and in just these past days, ive been having some deep meaningful conversations about life with my fellow brothers and sisters and i realize that God allowed me to meet each and every one of these people for a reason. That reason was for them to keep me on the path with you Lord, to show me the way and prevent me from straying. ALSO, i realize that i cannot always rely on them as they too are human and they will struggle. I truly believe god has placed me in their life to help them in their times of struggle and to also strengthen my relationship with God.

FOR EXAMPLE: i met jacob kang and ray kim and all the wpca kids at borders but why? they dont go to my church and im not especially close with alll of them but they were there and i met them and just recently, reading their blogs has been very encouraging to read. Those like Terry, Lauryn, ERKA, they just keep my fire burning, they prevent my candle from being extinguished. other new people God placed in my life are yoseph yoo (graceway) and my ENTIRE PBC FAMILY!

No matter the fact that we all go to different churches, we are all still brothers and sisters in CHRIST. like really when i look at the difference in my life from this year and last year, im struck with awe at how much BETTER MY LIFE IS. these people were placed in my life FOR A REASON! I now have a reason to get up in the morning, something to look forward to and that is to see my family at school, to grow closer to god, TO CONTINUE ON MY WALK WITH GOD HAND IN HAND WITH FELLOW BROTHERS AND SISTERS. to be there to pick them up when they stumble, to give them strength when they falter.

THIS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANY ESSAY

I ALSO REALIZED, sometimes the things you say can exactly be what you need to hear. AT my friend UB's blog "So watever you're going through, we can all go through it together, by keeping each other updated, praying for each other, etc, because living a Christian life is not easy, I was stupid to think it was. So hang in there guys, depend on God, be reminded of the cross, of His grace and mercy, because that is just one crazy love given to us right there, so why not give some love back? His love is the best gift anyone can get." His words greatly encouraged me.


WOW JUST READING THIS QUOTE AGAIN i realized something new.
"His love is the best gift anyone can get". SO OFTEN christmas is about materialistic things that dont last very long. however HIS love is eternal, instead of focusing on gifts, we should be THANKFUL for HIS gift, his eternal love. HE has given us jesus christ who lives in our HEARTS.

The Same power that conquered the grave lives in me,
The Same power that rescued the Earth lives in me.

Amen.

My letter

dear a close friend,
its 1:11 and my parents are probably going to kill me because i promised them id sleep by 12 but i feel that i really need to put this up to support someone. when i first met you, i was still very far away from God but during these past couple of months ive grown closer to Him and alot of it was because of Him working through you that really affected me and made me want to be closer to God. when i received word that you were struggling and have been for a while, that made me determined that i would help you through this time of weakness as you have done the same for me and i know you would do the same for me. I too have been through the phases of ups and downs yet it is always through my other brothers and sisters in christ that i am able to draw close with Him again. I want to be that person with you, to be there by your side through it all, to be your lifejacket as you have been mine, saving my life from hell. I owe you my life and am eternally grateful that our paths crossed. This isnt me trying to be cute, this is real and how i feel about you is real too. you are closer than blood with me, we are related through Christ and that is the strongest bond anyone can ever form. I just want you to know that no matter how many times you feel down, or feel like you have no one to talk to, that I'm here. any day, any time. I will support you, i will be a better friend, i will be a better brother. no longer will i have to be the one leaning on you for support but rather, we lean on EACH OTHER because that is what brothers are for, to help each other through the tough times. "Many people will walk in and out of you life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart." you have left an everlasting footprint on my heart and for that i will be forever grateful. people like you are hard to find and i never want to let you stray too far from your walk with Him and that is why I just want to let you know that i am here for you. i love you very much so and will continue to pray for our friendship to grow and also for us to grow closer to God TOGETHER! I love you alot and i will be there with you to get through every obstacle, hand in hand.

best wishes from your brother and friend,
peter chiu

My strength

Haha so im just chillin at mikes house, exhausted after some intense DDR playing which i got owned by UB...but yeah me and cheryne and sarah were here and i noticed cheryne and alex and justin yoo all made blogs about those that have helped them throughout life and so that inspired me to write this.

1. God. im not going to even try to describe him as there are no words to do his greatness justice.

Guys

1.MIKE AHN- those of you that know me know how much i love mike. he is my complement, my other half. We have had soo many cute things with each other its kind of ridiculous. the funny thing is, i met him only 2 and a half months ago and we instantly hit it off. i now believe in love at the first sight because thats what it was with me and him. it doesnt hurt that he is ridiculously good looking. just the mention or thought of his name brings a big smile to my face and he seriously brightens up my day just getting cute texts from him and other stuff thats too gay to be put on the internet. I will say that i look forward to seeing him everyday and that when im in his arms, theres nowhere else id rather be. he is amazing and is more than just a husband, hes my brother and my best friend.

2.YOSEPH YOO- i became close with him only this year. His compassion and understanding is amazing. we can just be with each other and not need anyone else. he is my study buddy and keeps me on track in school and in life and in my walk with christ. I really love him and wouldnt trade what we have for anything. he is someone i know i can go to with anything. that song "we all need somebody to leannn on". hes that person for me. i'm most comfortable talking with him about anything and am grateful for his existence.

3.Ohta/Mophead/Keith/Nick/Dj - my other close friends that i was reallly close with them but have drifted alot. i still love them and will always be there for them when they need me.

4. Jay Park- wow ive known him for SO long. he went to all the same schools as i but only in this year have i talked to him and really gotten to know him. he is my hyung, someone i really respect and look up to. no joke hes my brother and i can only hope to pass on the kindness he has shown me to the younger kids.

5. justin yoo- man ive known him for soooooo long. so long. and only recently have we drawn close but man are we bros now. he knows im here for him and he will always be there for me. we have had soo many fun times just messing around and him farting. he is reallllly caring and has one of the biggest hearts i know.

SORRY IM RUNNING OUT OF TIME!!

6. dcho- one of the funniest guys i know many many fun times. we always laugh with each other and i will never forget that one day at borders on the way back from subway. laughed for like 20 minutes nonstop wow hahahaha.

7. rest of the church bros- i really wish i had time for all of you individually but im pressed for time because i gotta get off the comp soon. you all know you are in my heart, i care alot about each and every one of you and cannot wait to grow closer to christ with you all. <3

Girls

1. Tori- this girl has been a pretty good friend to me ever since i met her freshman year but it was this year that we reallly drew close. i love her and will always be here for her to help her through her struggles.

2. ERKA- so ive known this girl for a long time but i never really got to know her. i admit im guilty of judging her without reallyy getting to know her but i truly regret that because she is someone i really care about and love. ive seen her entire transformation from 6th grade until now and the change that God instilled in her amazes me. She really does make me want to be a better person and im so glad shes in my life. ive only recently grown close with her but man she is so fun to be with and im glad i can just talk to her and be open about my life. i know that we can only grow closer and closer with God together.

3. cat/cat/sarah/wendy/jinju/lauryn/lauren/lena/cindy- if i honestly had time and if it wasnt 2am, i would write about each and everyone of these great girls! but what do they all have in common?...i met most of them this year or became close to them this year. they are all great people and really do brighten up my day. i care about each and every one of them and they can all turn to me whenever they need someone to talk to. <3

4. cheryne- my dongseng. only recently...like in the past week hahaha have i gotten to know her and wow we have such a connection. (well i think i hit it off pretty well with alot of people but yeah anyways) she is a great great girl and she is so like bubbly that you cant but help to like her. GT anywhere. anytime. <3

SIGH - everyone i missed. due to time issues and me getting tired ima sleep in mikes bed soon. just want to say you know im here and theres no issue that i wont help you with or atleast try to help you with. i am extremely extroverted :] so feel free to talk to me about anything and i promise i will listen. Thanks to EVERYONE who has made my life better and i truly am glad to have friends like you guys.

Realize

Today on the ride home after PBC's benefit concert, Cheryne made a comment to me that was pretty earthshaking. "I think its cute how all the freshmen look up to you & mike." i was kinda surprised because i dont see myself as a role model but after talking with cheryne, i realized i am. So me and mike were being cute and flirting and wrestling and after we did it for a while, the freshmen pbc boys begin to do it as well. cheryne pointed out to me that they are always watching me and often imitate me. The realization of the fact that I am what they aspire to be made me smile like :D because its nice to be looked up to but i also realize that i have now shouldered a large responsibility.

How i live my life can affect them, either in a good way or a bad way. It can either be since its ok for peter to _____ then so can i. OR it can be wow peter lives a life i want to live. I personally have been affected by role models negatively. As a freshman and sophmore i had many many older friends and even though i really liked them, the choices they made werent great and i ended up doing things just to be like them.

I really like this blogging thing cuz one thing can lead to another. Now that i think about it, i am my little brother's largest influence in life. Everything i do, he wants to do and at first it was annoying as heck but now i realize it is because he looks up to me and this makes me want to live a life that i am able to be proud of. I place myself in andrew's (my bro) shoes and think :if i had an older brother, how would i want him to be like?

I've finally come to realize the choices i make in life affect a multitude of people and i hope that i can leave a lasting positive impact on your life.

Korean Pride

So I was on aim like always and me and lauryn decided to make blogs. Ok before i go any further about how this blog started, i just want to say that it is freaking cold and im having a hard time typing because my fingers are freezing...i need mike because hes SO hot :]. ok anyways, i feel that i always have alot of things to say and so this blog is my chance to do it. my goal is just to make this blog enjoyable for you to read and something to look forward to when you come home :]].

This brings me to the main point of my entry. Recently I looked in the mirror and was like DAYUM whose that cutie?!?! haha im just kidding im not mike ahn but anyways i did look in the mirror and i realized how korean i look and when i truly think about it..i AM korean. I can speak korean, understand like 10 words, look korean, eat korean, even dress korean as i now own ONE hollister jacket..aigoooo... oh yeah i can probably sing haru haru better than most koreans too :].

oh this was totally unexpected because i was just gonna blog about being korean but idk i felt moved to continue on with my writing. so yeah i changed from being whitewashed to now being full korean and this made me think more about how ive changed and i was absolutely stunned because just wow. im pretty amazed right now. haha i'll explain why. so ive always been a "christian" went to church on sundays (only because i was forced to and ended up sleeping every sunday) and during the week i would go out and party and drink and cuss because i thought i was pretty cool you know? but the person i am today is totally not that. GOD has finally revealed himself truly to me and i am now a C..i am a C H..i am a C H R I S T I A N..(I A N)!! and proud of it!! this year i have completely changed for the better and now i know what living REALLY means. jesus is the only thing worth living for and he truly has completed me. :]]]



keep checking this page will be updated ALOT because i have ALOT to say! :]]] (haha forgive me its 1:48 am and i cannot think of a better word to use other than alot)
