Last Friday Night

Hey guys! Grace here. First of all I want to say how much I have loved being here in Korea. God has shown me so many things about Himself and His love for us. He has taught me how to love people in new ways and how to see people through His eyes. It is truly beautiful. 

I wanted to write and share with you about last Friday night. After leaving Hanyang University, we went to Sung Young Kim and his wife Eun Young's house for dinner. We were actually their very first guests in their new home! (They were very proud that they could say their first guests were Americans.) They were incredibly hospitable to our excited group and welcomed us with food and sweet company. It was such a good time to be together, laughing and telling stories. We were able to talk about the piece Sung Yong choreographed for us, "Help". We told him some of our favorite moments of the dance and he shared his with us also. It was very inspiring to hear him talk about his motivation and intent behind the movement. 

There were a few moments while we were there, that the Lord gave me a glimpse of His heart for this lovely couple. I was blown away by the glorious light beaming from them. With every word that was said, whether it being about the Lord or not, I could tell that they both were intently listening and wanting to hear more. We were there for hours, but could have stayed for longer. They kept saying "be comfortable" and "be at home here". Their love was radiant. I actually didn't want to leave. We finished our yummy food and then exchanged gifts. Before we left, we prayed for Sung Yong and Eun Young and were able to leave our blessings in their beautiful home. The love of God was pouring out as we sat around them on their living room floor. I know He has such an amazing plan for them. They are strong leaders and through their passion for movement and creating, the Lord will open so many doors for them, in Jesus' name. 

We were so thankful for the time we got to spend with our dear friends. In the words of Uncle Kim, "to have an honest dance, there cannot be any lies in it." He has taught us how to move honestly and with utmost abandon. He has taught us what it means to help- to help is to be patient, to help is to see others, to help is to listen and love with all you have.
