Self-Discovery: a time of healing and restoration pt. 1
“What brought you to Korea?” is a question I am often asked, and saying why I am here is hard for me to explain at times. It feels normal. It’s where God opened doors. It’s a place where I feel safe to grow. And it wasn’t until recently after some conversations and self-reflection that I realized one of the reasons why I’m here. I had a lot of pressure back home.

don’t let fear control you
When did you first become afraid? Fear is something that controls us in life as we get older. A child doesn’t understand the concept of fear right away.
