Mindful of Us All

Hello Blogging Family! It’s now been just about a month since Grace and I returned from our trip to Australia and Indonesia. I’m still so thankful that God allowed us to travel together, since in the early days of Grace’s accident I would’ve absolutely ruled out international travel. It’s good to be proven wrong by God.

The picture above is from Newport Beach in Sydney. June is winter in Australia, so the temperature was in the 60’s when we visited this beach, pleasantly cool and not too hot at all! We were among the only people there that afternoon. I was struck by the wide expanse of the sky meeting the curving horizon in the distance. The view was bounded by towering rock cliffs on either side of the beach, creating a picturesque cove.

Living in the middle of a busy, tech-saturated city, it’s easy for me to forget the grandeur of the natural world God created. As impressive as man’s creations have been, they pale in comparison to the works of the Creator Himself–including ourselves.

Psalm 100:2 reminds us: “Know that the Lord, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.”

And David, in Psalm 8, famously said:

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him? O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8:3-4, 9

How majestic is the name of the Lord, in Australia, Indonesia, California, and across the whole world! God, in His wisdom and grace, has made you and me “a little lower than the heavenly beings” (Ps 8:5). As human beings we bear the image of God Himself. What an incredible privilege!

Yet may we also never forget that we were never meant to be the center of the universe–either the actual physical universe, or the private ones each of us inhabit in our hearts and minds. Yesterday, our pastor was preaching on the topic of missions, and he pointed out that perhaps many of us have yet to experience the “Copernican revolution” of replacing a man-centered view of the reality with a God-centered view.

A God-centered view of reality was what prompted David to cry out, “What is man that you are mindful of him?” Is that how we view ourselves today?

Sometimes, even when I’m not fully aware of it, I act as if God owes me something. When I don’t get what I want, or get what I don’t want, the frustration or bitterness that ensues proves that, in that moment, I’m not viewing Him as my Lord but rather as my benefactor.

But Jesus’ rightful title has always been and will always be, “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” (Rev 19:16). The ultimate joy and blessing of this life and the next is to personally know and be known by the God who created the world, and us–to worship and enjoy our Savior and King forever. Be encouraged today that, in His grace, He is mindful of us.

A Passage to Indo Part III: Trip Recap!

Happy Tuesday, Blogging Family! We recently got back from our much-anticipated trip to Australia and Indonesia and are slowly adjusting to being back on this side of the dateline 🙂 Thank you so much for your prayers! It was a truly blessed trip, and I’m excited to share some highlights. If you’re new to this series, you can catch up on previous posts here.

While the overarching purpose of our trip was for us to spend time with Ivan’s extended family and for me to experience Indonesia for the first time, the flight paths also provided a wonderful opportunity to schedule a “long layover” on Sydney and spend time with a friend from my time studying violin in New York who’s been instrumental in helping me relearn violin (over Zoom), and has also prayed for and encouraged us over the years. It was very sweet spending time together in person for the first time in over a decade, worshiping together in church on Sunday, and also exploring a beautiful city and marveling at amazing aspects of God’s creation that apparently are “normal” down under but exotic to us Americans. The photos of the wallaby and cockatiels were not taken at a zoo!

After Sydney, we flew another 8 hours to Surabaya, where Ivan did most of middle school. It was educational for me to tour his school, Intan Permata Hati (IPH). Particularly interesting was the fact that the school has certain zones marked “English only” and the teacher giving the tour noted how hard it is to enforce the English-speaking zones. Those of us who’ve met Ivan as an adult probably have a hard time imagining him as anything other than what I like to call “EFL” (English-First-Language), but visiting IPH reminded me that English is in fact his second language. I’m very grateful that Ivan’s parents were intentional about investing in an education that would foster English fluency, and that even as a young teenager he was committed to practice while living in Indo!

Most significantly, it was such a sweet blessing to meet so many of Ivan’s relatives who are still living in the Surabaya area. I was overwhelmed by their kindness, generosity, and hospitality. They went out of their way to make me feel welcome and included in the family gatherings, and waited very patiently while Ivan translated what they said! My Indo language skills are sub-par at best. I could understand quite a bit of what was said, but by the time I thought of a reply, the moment was LONG gone. This meant that 98% of the time I only smiled and nodded, or answered in English. Given this dynamic, I was extremely grateful for everyone’s kindness and patience. I also think that this dynamic is a marked difference between entering a family of believers vs. entering a family of unbelievers. Although there is some sense of obligation to be courteous in many families, I think the knowledge that we were also brothers and sisters in Christ and shared a common spiritual bond was an undeniable, additional motivator in overcoming differences from language and culture.

After Surabaya we flew to Jakarta, where we met even more relatives. Once again, I continued to be so blessed by everyone’s welcoming attitude and desire to connect and build relationships right away! We also got the amazing opportunity to explore Sepa Island, which is about a 90 min. ferry ride away in the Java Sea. As you can see from the photo, we passed a lot of interesting ships and fishing boats on our way to and from the island. I’d never been to a tropical beach before, so after we got there I was amazed that we could literally see tropical fish swimming in the water around us! The island also had an area where we could observe a lot of small sharks. This was fascinating for me, although I’m not sure it held quite the same allure for Ivan. 😉

Overall, we were also both very grateful for good health until the ferry ride back to Jakarta from Sepa Island. I may have already been getting sick because, although I got motion sick on the boat ride, I never completely recovered. Let’s just say that the flights back to San Francisco through Singapore were quite long indeed and certain symptoms still have not worn off.

Nevertheless, given our rigorous travel and activity schedule, the fact that we (especially me) made it that far unscathed is a HUGE praise and testimony to God’s faithfulness and protection. When we first started traveling internationally a couple of years ago, a trip with this level of back-to-back activity, plus lengthy flights, would have seemed impossible. We are so grateful for everything that God has done and continues to do in both of our lives to make this trip possible specifically for the purpose of building and strengthening relationships.

Thank you again so much for your prayers! We are excited to see what He will do the rest of the summer!

A Passage to Indo Part II: Counting Down to Takeoff!

This is the best of several attempts to depict our flight path using ChatGPT. It has us taking off in Nevada and landing in the Indian Ocean 😉

Happy Wednesday, Blogging Family! We can’t believe that our long-awaited trip to Australia and Indonesia is just seven days away. As I shared in my first post in this series, although we’ve been blessed to travel internationally several times in recent years through VCS, our plan to visit Ivan’s family shortly after our wedding has been delayed almost a decade. This was originally due to my health and then subsequently to other factors like cost and Ivan’s travel schedule at work. We are so grateful to see God answering our prayers and opening doors to finally make our dream a reality after so much waiting!

One lesson we have learned – and I’m sure will continue learning – from our previous international trips is the importance of preparing our minds and hearts ahead of time. No matter how alluring the destination or exciting the itinerary, the truth is that jet lag, unexpected changes in plans, and (often) trying to navigate in a foreign language bring out our selfish tendencies and unreasonable expectations. Not to mention herding teenagers. We are blessed to be traveling without a group (for only the second time in a decade of marriage!), and at least one of us in a native speaker in both countries we’re visiting. What’s even more exciting is that this trip is purely relational, and has no work obligations.

Nevertheless, we’re both aware that although the circumstances surrounding our journey to Australia and Indo are different, the temptations we usually face will still be active. Since we bought our tickets a few months ago, we’ve been praying that God would help us to view this trip as an opportunity to seek to bless and encourage everyone we’re visiting. We’re praying that He would continue reminding us that this is an opportunity to serve His kingdom and is not a vacation meant to gratify our own desires, and guard us from disappointment if things don’t turn out exactly like we hope. One passage God has been bringing to mind recently is the opening to Colossians 3:

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.  For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.  When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”

Col. 3:1-4

Setting my mind on earthly hopes is a giant temptation for me with this trip, given that we’ve been praying for an opportunity to take it for many years and don’t know if or when we’ll be able to do it again. I’m also praying that, in addition to helping us focus on Kingdom priorities, God will help us to view each other with extra grace and compassion, and believe the best about each other in difficult situations (1 Cor. 13:7). When things don’t go as planned, it’s tempting to blame the person closest to you, whether or not that is the loving, biblical response.

Thank you so much for your prayers and walking with us, and I look forward to sharing more when we get back!

My First “Grown Up” Bible + How I Became a Christian

Happy Monday, Blogging Family! At this point, many of you know that my dad will be retiring from full-time ministry near the end of the year. Needless to say, this is a bittersweet transition for our family. It has already provided opportunities to reflect on how the Lord has provided for, sustained, and blessed my parents’ lives and ministry over the years. I’m sure we will continue grow in gratitude (and also sadness as their season of vocational ministry concludes) as Fall approaches. 

An unexpected blessing I’ve received during this time is rediscovering some “artifacts” my dad preserved in his office over the decades – and several cross- country moves. One of these was my first “grown up” Bible. Although I admit that I had forgotten about it in recent years, when Dad returned it to me last week, it brought back many childhood memories. 

As you can see from the picture, it’s a relatively standard NASB leather Bible. As an eight- or nine-year-old, I remember being very impressed with the “grown up” black leather Bibles my parents carried to church, and wishing I could have one that looked like theirs. This was before I became a Christian, so looking back I am also sure that I was most motivated by the appearance of carrying a “grown up” Bible and looking like an “obedient” child – especially to adults. Nevertheless, my parents must have paid attention to what I was asking, because my dad presented me with my very own “grown up” Bible, and also explained to me that the NASB was the “best” modern translation. As you might imagine, this really boosted my assumption that others would view me as “grown up” and “good.” I do remember being very proud of carrying my new Bible to church, but I don’t remember how often I read it if no one was watching. Looking back on this turn of events as an adult, I am grateful that my parents were willing to bless me with a real leather Bible at such a young age, especially since my dad would have still been in seminary!

Later that year, or possibly the next year, I remember hearing a sermon that helped me understand that no matter how hard I tried – or even succeeded – at appearing “good” to other people, God could see all the evil thoughts of my heart. This made my outward “obedience” like filthy rags in His sight. I was not a good little girl at all, no matter what kind of Bible I had. The only thing that could help me have a right relationship with Him was trusting that Jesus had died for my sin and conquered sin and death by rising again. This also included admitting that I sinned against God whether or not other people saw it, and asking God’s mercy and forgiveness. Since I was born into a Christian home, and my dad went to seminary when I was 5, I can’t remember a time when I could not recite the gospel. But for me, just like anyone else, “knowing” the gospel was not enough. I still needed the Holy Spirit to open my eyes in a specific, personal way to my own spiritual deadness, as well as the hope of salvation and eternal life that is available through Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection.

After that moment, the “grown up” Bible that I had originally wanted for appearance’s sake suddenly became intrinsically valuable. I remember wanting to spend time reading it, whether or not anyone saw me, and also wanting to go to church. Although I was still a relatively young child, the Holy Spirit had taken up residence in my heart and I understood these previously boring activities were ways to learn more about God.

In 2026 many of us are probably using the ESV or something similar rather than the NASB (this story takes place around the turn of the millennium 😊), but it’s a testimony to God’s Spirit working through His Word that in elementary school I wanted to spend time reading a translation that we now consider a bit unwieldy. As I’ve had time to flip through its pages over the past week, I’ve been pleasantly surprised to find many passages in the New Testament circled and underlined and marked in a child’s handwriting as “favorite,” several of which I still often use in personal prayer or counseling. One of them is the Apostle Paul’s famous prayer:

And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

Phil. 1:9-11

I also remember being very excited when the ESV was released sometime during high school, and as I’ve had time to do a side-by-side this week I can see why many of us made the switch. However, I will always be so grateful for how God used my parents and my first “grown up” Bible to begin His good work in my life, and I’m so thankful to be reunited with it after many years. I also plan to continue using it as a physical reminder of God’s faithfulness, provision, and protection throughout all our lives.

Whatever season you may find yourself in, I pray that God will open your eyes to reminders of His faithful, shepherding hand, and His sure promise to work all things to produce His fruit in your life and shape you more and more into the image of His Son, which is always our ultimate good.

CCAN Conference: The Wisdom of Abigail

Good afternoon, Blogging Family! Last weekend, I was grateful to be one of the guest speakers at a women’s conference in Pacheco, CA, co-hosted by Foothill Baptist Church and Christ Church of All Nations (Ivan’s parents’ church). It was such a privilege to collaborate with the other speakers and meet women from other churches and backgrounds. It was also a growing experience for me, since the two areas that I am most comfortable with are counseling and prayer ministry (both one-on-one settings). Although I do love to teach music and writing and we have been blessed to share our accident story quite a bit in larger contexts, this was the first time that I prepared a message and spoke on a topic that was not related to our accident.

God was very faithful, and throughout the process I discovered that a lot of the skills I’ve developed in both teaching writing and preparing for counseling sessions were similar to what I needed to prepare a conference session. The similarities were studying what the biblical text said, consulting other passages from Scripture that shed more light on it, looking for relevant commentaries, and prayerfully discerning my own thoughts about the passage. Perhaps most important was praying that the Lord would use the passage to minister to (and convict!) my own heart during the preparation process, and also praying for the hearts of everyone who would attend. My conclusion after going through this process (although I admit that I am still very new to it), is that there is not a huge difference between preparing for a conference talk and counseling, except that I would say delivering a conference talk currently feels more disorienting to me.

In counseling, I can dialogue with the other person and try my best to sense by their tone of voice, facial expressions and verbal responses how they might be processing what I am sharing, or if they would benefit from a different approach. While this does not necessarily guarantee that every session goes well, and it is only God who does the transformation in a person’s heart, it does frequently provide a real time gauge to help me discern if the direction I am going is actually beneficial or if I need to change courses.

In contrast, delivering a conference talk does not allow this kind of real-time feedback and requires much more faith that God is the One who will work through (and in spite of) me, and that ultimately He has promised His Word never returns void, no matter how little I may know about each person in the room or how imperfectly I may communicate.

This past Saturday, I was grateful to speak on the life of Abigail. Meditating on how she wisely responded to a very complex situation (a foolish and ungodly husband and a future king who was sinfully angry) convicted me about 1) how much I take my own healthy marriage for granted and 2) how much I struggle to live out her example of honoring Nabal’s and David’s God-given positions. Far too often, I use other people’s sin as an excuse to justify my own. In Abigail’s case, God rewarded her willingness to submit to the position rather than fixating on the person who was not living up to his position. Her humility brought conviction to David’s heart, saved the lives of her male servants, and, after her husband’s death, gained her what we can guess was likely a better life as David’s wife.

Abigail could have sought to preserve her own life by running away when her servants brought her the news of David’s impending wrath, and perhaps she might have succeeded. However, by doing this she would have become implicit in the murder of Nabal’s servants, at least some of whom were not as wicked as Nabal himself (vv.14-17). By seeking to dissuade David from his murderous design, Abigail identified herself with Nabal’s guilt in order to intercede for him. This put her in danger since she did not know how David would respond. As Nabal’s wife, she was also aware that he did not deserve this intervention and she would not receive any personal benefit, except the benefit of honoring the Lord and the husband He had sovereignly allowed into her life, and potentially saving some innocent lives if she succeeded. It’s also worth noting that God’s justice in punishing Nabal was much more accurate than David’s sinful anger would have been. By eliminating Nabal through an adverse health event (perhaps a heart attack or stroke), God only punished the person who needed punishing. He also simultaneously freed Abigail and Nabal’s servants from their oppressive situation. David, however, was planning to wipe out “every male” belonging to Nabal, which would have included at least some innocent servants.

I’d like to close with this New Testament admonition and encouragement. It’s how I ended my conference talk Saturday I think it encapsulates the story of Abigail, Nabal, and David – and God’s intervention in all their lives so perfectly, I also hope it can encourage you all with whatever you may be facing this week!

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.  So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Gal. 6:7-10

Working Witness

Hello Blogging Family! Last Saturday Grace and I had the opportunity to attend Valley Christian School’s Warrior Celebration, where we honored our previous president’s 40 years of service to the school and looked ahead to the future. It’s hard to believe this is my ninth year working at VCS, and I’m thankful for how God has used this school to provide for me and Grace and allow us to live in the Bay Area.

My role at the school has changed over the years, and one of the more recent developments is overseeing the student Worship Team, which we call Warrior Worship (our school mascot is the Warriors). We have chapel once a week on Wednesdays, which normally start with a time of musical worship and then goes into a message. A team of high school students leads the music portion, and I’ve really appreciated getting to work with them as their teacher.

For the worship team class, our class periods involve rehearsing music, but my favorite part are the portions when we consider what it means to live with God and for God — in short, discipleship. We have discussions such as:

Q: “Why do we worship?”

A: “Because God is worthy of our worship.” (1 Chron 16:25; Ps 145:3)

Q: “Why is God worthy of our worship?”

A: “Because of who He is and what He has done.” (Rev 4:11; Ps 103:1-5)

Many of students who attend Valley are not from Christian backgrounds, so I’m proud of the students who serve on worship team, and all the other students who have chosen to actively represent Christ to their peers. I’m reminded each day too that all of my actions as a teacher directly or indirectly constitute a witness for Jesus. What kind of a witness am I? Am I being faithful to honor Him through my words and actions?

Whether we work in a secular or Christian context, may we always remember that God’s eternal purposes also include our professional lives; even if you are not working right now, you are still an ambassador for Christ to every person you interact with today. May God be glorified through us wherever we are.

A Passage to Indo Part 1: Of Visas and Vaccines

“Better late than never,” was one reaction we got to booking our honeymoon nine years after our wedding. To recap, we got married in 2015 right after I graduated undergrad and while Ivan was a full-time grad student. This meant we scheduled the wedding between Christmas and New Years to accommodate his classes and my work, and needed to delay our honeymoon until we had more financial means. Since my accident occurred less than a year later, our plans for a romantic getaway were put on an indefinite hold. God graciously provided an almost entirely free trip to Paris using travel points that coincided with our ninth anniversary at the end of 2024. Until that point, we’d wondered if the “delayed honeymoon” was an unfulfilled dream we needed to surrender to God.

Another piece of newlywed life that got put on an indefinite hold by my accident was meeting Ivan’s extended family. Although his parents and brothers live here, the rest of his family lives in Indonesia. When we were planning our wedding, we’d imagined that our “delayed honeymoon” might look like combining a romantic getaway with crossing the Pacific to meet everyone. However, when our lives turned upside down and I developed severe health problems, we crossed that possibility off our lists. But as my health improved over the years and I made successful trips to Europe and Japan, we realized that traveling to Indonesia was no longer an issue of ability or safety, but rather of finding the time and means to plan our own international trip.

In God’s providence, Ivan is not leading a summer trip for Valley Christian for the first time in three years, which allowed us to schedule our own trip to Indonesia this June. Since this has been a personal desire for both of us for many years, we’ve also been saving and planning for everything that it takes to coordinate our own trip (and realizing more and more how blessed we’ve been to enjoy travel as part of his job in previous years!)

Two parts of planning that have been new to me thus far are visa applications and travel vaccines. We are stopping in Australia for a weekend on the way to Surabaya, our first stop in Indonesia. Australia is the first country we’re visiting together that is not visa-on-arrival. We also applied for an Indonesian visa ahead of time to enter the country faster, which felt a bit strange for Ivan since he was originally an Indonesian citizen!

Conversely, getting travel vaccines felt much more concerning for me than it did for Ivan. About 5 years ago, I had somewhere between 15-19 seizures (we both lost track!) after getting my Tdap booster at Kaiser. We firmly believe I’ve been healed of the seizure disorder itself. However, given my dad’s vaccine injury in 2021, there is a chance that as a blood relative I could be prone to vaccine injuries. If this is true, my reaction at that time was not due as much to my seizure disorder but to a genetic sensitivity to vaccines. Since there is no way to know for sure why I had such a severe reaction, I haven’t taken any vaccines since then. Even for my recent finger incident, I was grateful that the Tdap fiasco meant my tetanus shot was still technically up-to-date and I didn’t need another vaccine.

However, as we prayerfully weighed the potential risks of traveling to Indonesia without getting any vaccines versus the benefits of taking the most essential ones (like typhoid), we decided that it was wisest to take some preventative measures and trust God with the outcome. 

We got our travel vaccines on Friday, and by God’s grace, I did not experience anything more severe than feeling very “out-of-it” for about a day. Although I definitely felt worse than Ivan did, that’s relatively explainable by the fact that, my body is generally weaker and more sensitive than the average person’s. 

We’ll probably never know the exact cause of my severe reaction to the Tdap booster five years ago. What we do know is that God has consistently showed Himself faithful and gracious in protecting me at that time, restoring my health beyond what we could have imagined since then, and in continuing to guide and protect us as we try to make wise decisions when we do not have all the information we’d like. We are so grateful for His goodness and mercy, and look forward to sharing more about this trip with you in the coming months!

P.S. For those of you who are more literary-minded, Ivan and his family refer to Indonesia as “Indo” for short. The title for this series combines that nickname with the title of the famous E. M. Forster novel, A Passage to India. I highly recommend checking it out if you’ve never read it. 🙂

Spring into Music & Poetry

Hello Blogging Family! Spring is upon us, and I’ve also been enjoying my spring break from Valley Christian. This week, Grace and I got to share about violin and piano to our local Classical Conversations homeschool community at Hillside Church. This was our second visit; we were very blessed to visit CC last year too. I was never homeschooled, but Grace was, from kindergarten all the way until she graduated high school!

This year, our topic was “How to listen to music.” Grace and I talked about how composers structure their pieces, how they create colors and moods using different scales, and how you can enhance your enjoyment of classical music by creating a narrative while listening. The kids were very attentive and asked great questions. Grace played Mendelssohn’s “Auf Flügeln des Gesanges (On Wings of Song),” and I played Bach’s Invention No. 4 in D minor and Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in G# minor, Op. 32 No. 12.

In addition to visiting the CC community, Grace also recently received an invitation from San Jose Public Library (SJPL) to host a poetry workshop at the main branch downtown! The librarian had seen Grace in the SJPL database from a fiction workshop Grace taught last year, and thought she would be a good fit for their “Spring into Poetry” initiative. So Grace got to work preparing a presentation suitable for kids and adults, and this past Monday we made our way to the MLK Jr. Library for the workshop (my role was moral support).

We’re so thankful for the chance to connect with the attendees over poetry, enjoying the God-given gift of creativity expressed through language. Fun fact: one poet Grace and I both love is W. S. Merwin – if you’ve never read him before, check him out!

So, so far it’s been a very arts-filled week! It’s amazing how much beauty and meaning can be captured and expressed through the arts; all this is ultimately a reflection of God’s beauty, since He is the one who created all things (including us, in His image!). As the Psalmist said:

The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Psalm 19:1

May we see glimpses of God’s beauty and goodness in the world around us today, even by reading a good poem or listening to a piece of music!
