Year-End Recap 2010: May - part 2

So far most of the photos in my Year-End Recap series have come from the same folder, entitled "Phone Pictures till May 2010." From here on out, it's going to be quite a bit more difficult to find photos to illustrate my posts. This may mean quite a delay (not to mention the fact that we're currently burning the candle at both ends trying to balance work and purging our possessions before we vacate our apartment and move to Korea!)... but before I go, I'd like to share one of the very last photos in this album:

This was taken in the hidden area behind my apartment complex, right across the dirt path from the railroad Daniel walks across to get to work every day. I just love the spiritual application this photo presents; mankind can realize great potential (building the wall) but usually makes a stupid choice here and there (tagging the wall). God (represented here by nature, His creation) was there when they built the wall and messed it up. Right now He's making it better, and He will continue to do so as long as we accept His grace. He doesn't remove the blemish, but in His kindness, He is faithful to cover it - in essence, to make it new. We still have the choice to tear down these vines, to refuse His offer of redemption, and if we do, the consequences of the stupid choice will still be there. We could try to paint over it, but the wall will never truly be the same, no matter how close a shade we find to paint it with!



Well, I'm waxing talkative, and all I really wanted was to say: God is good.



And with this, I bid you adieu. (Or as we say in Korean: An-nyeong!)
