Produktbeschreibung

if we can defend and accommodate each other

Isaiah 1:18-20 :

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

20 But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

I started school in elementary school and moved three times between first and second grade. I had a hard time adapting because I kept moving around with my dad, whose job and housing were inconsistent. My parents fought more and more as they moved, and my stepmother often took her children to her sister's house in Daegu and never came back, leaving me and my brother unattended. My brother is two years older than me, so he would go from place to place by himself, and there were many days when I was alone.

​

When I changed schools, my teacher once asked me to stand up in class and read a book. When he heard me reading, he said, "Who's chasing you? Why are you reading so fast?" This feeling of impatience and anxiety that someone is chasing me has been with me ever since I was young.

​

Because this mindset was formed and repeated from a young age, I did not realize my full potential and graduated passively with barely enough credits. Because I was so repressed, I couldn't speak well in front of people, and my tendency to bury myself in other people's opinions was unknowingly expressed. When I was entrusted with a task, I was expected to judge, organize, and report the results, but looking back, I was constantly asking my boss for answers and approval.

Fantasies and fears of being chased by someone with a knife dominated my life, and I never really established myself at work. What happened at home was confusingly repeated at work. The way my stepmother treated me was strangely repeated by female bosses and female subordinates.

​

My biggest skill in the workplace is the ability to communicate, but I'm emotionally ill, so my communication skills are not well expressed, and my metacognition is low, so I'm not measured in that area. I was always trying to prove myself, and I would end up raising my hand because people would turn their backs and the room would get small.

​

God says to the sin-stained Israelites, "Let us plead our case with one another. He says, "Reach out and talk to each other, and though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. God is in charge of the relationship and promises to take care of the sin if we confess it to each other. We just need to trust God and move forward.

Autorenporträt

After 13 years of a painful work life, I came close to being utterly miserable. Now, I'm living as a freelancer.

I dislike anyone's interference and prefer pursuing my own authority, so I find freelancing to be an excellent fit. I am content with this lifestyle.

I write, translate, and read numerous books.

It took me a long time to break free from constraints, but I finally managed it.

A liberated daily life sets my mind free.

I'm grateful to God for granting me this kind of lifestyle.
