0 00:00:01.175 --> 00:00:03.425 It’s called a church retreat, right? 1 00:00:03.425 --> 00:00:06.225 I used to do comedy skits when I went there 2 00:00:06.225 --> 00:00:07.824 3-minute, 5-minute skits 3 00:00:07.824 --> 00:00:09.624 I wrote them all... 4 00:00:09.624 --> 00:00:11.924 I would also act and even received awards 5 00:00:11.924 --> 00:00:13.174 God was the one who.. 6 00:00:13.174 --> 00:00:16.374 Planned it all like that 7 00:00:16.724 --> 00:00:20.424 The story of how comedian Park Mi-sun met God 8 00:00:20.824 --> 00:00:22.324 Shall we 9 00:00:22.974 --> 00:00:25.173 Shall We Listen? 10 00:00:25.173 --> 00:00:27.873 If you ask me what life was like before I believed in Jesus 11 00:00:27.873 --> 00:00:29.373 I don't remember it 12 00:00:29.373 --> 00:00:31.123 The time Jesus came into my life 13 00:00:31.123 --> 00:00:33.573 Was before the elementary school 14 00:00:33.573 --> 00:00:36.473 It's such a long time ago 15 00:00:36.473 --> 00:00:40.272 It's been almost 50 years and to remember that 16 00:00:40.272 --> 00:00:41.872 I was just a kid 17 00:00:41.872 --> 00:00:45.722 I went to church like it was the neighborhood playground 18 00:00:45.722 --> 00:00:50.172 It wasn't a time of abundance or wealth 19 00:00:50.172 --> 00:00:53.022 When I went to church, they gave out school supplies during summer Bible school 20 00:00:53.022 --> 00:00:56.621 They also gave out snacks and played with us, it was so much fun 21 00:00:56.621 --> 00:00:58.671 We went like it was the playground 22 00:00:58.671 --> 00:01:00.871 So to tell you something funny 23 00:01:00.871 --> 00:01:04.371 There was also a Jehovah's Witness next door 24 00:01:04.371 --> 00:01:08.521 So, in some years, we also went to play at the Jehovah's Witnesses place 25 00:01:08.521 --> 00:01:09.371 In some years 26 00:01:09.371 --> 00:01:11.920 I'm from Itaewon 27 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:13.870 There was an Islamic place 28 00:01:13.870 --> 00:01:15.920 So I also went there to play 29 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.070 It wasn't something 30 00:01:19.070 --> 00:01:20.220 faithful 31 00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:22.120 At first, I went to church 32 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.170 Just like a playground but it was the most fun 33 00:01:25.170 --> 00:01:27.469 In middle and high school, I was sent to mission school 34 00:01:27.469 --> 00:01:29.469 I graduated from Boseong Girls' Middle and High School 35 00:01:29.469 --> 00:01:31.419 Because I liked to be outspoken and take the lead 36 00:01:31.419 --> 00:01:33.819 They made me the head of the religious group 37 00:01:33.819 --> 00:01:35.769 So while being the head of the religious group.. 38 00:01:35.769 --> 00:01:39.769 But actually, that's usually when puberty hits 39 00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:41.169 That was when 40 00:01:41.169 --> 00:01:44.818 I experienced my first love with God 41 00:01:44.818 --> 00:01:46.618 At the retreat, I really 42 00:01:46.618 --> 00:01:48.618 Prayed fervently 43 00:01:48.618 --> 00:01:51.818 I prayed with all my heart, with tears streaming down my face 44 00:01:51.818 --> 00:01:55.018 There was a time like that 45 00:01:55.018 --> 00:01:59.167 To be honest, I'm not particularly 46 00:01:59.167 --> 00:02:01.667 Someone whose life has had a lot of ups and downs 47 00:02:01.667 --> 00:02:03.617 I think my faith has been the same 48 00:02:03.617 --> 00:02:08.017 Until now, God has not let go of me 49 00:02:08.017 --> 00:02:11.917 And continuously hold onto me so that I wouldn't leave 50 00:02:11.917 --> 00:02:13.516 For such a long time 51 00:02:13.516 --> 00:02:15.816 It's possible to practice faith habitually 52 00:02:15.816 --> 00:02:18.416 But during it, God would challenge me 53 00:02:18.416 --> 00:02:21.216 For me to realize and to pray 54 00:02:21.216 --> 00:02:23.216 So that I can maintain my faith well 55 00:02:23.216 --> 00:02:24.916 Even now 56 00:02:24.916 --> 00:02:26.066 when I open my eyes in the morning 57 00:02:26.066 --> 00:02:28.865 ‘Thank you, father for letting me open my eyes today’ 58 00:02:28.865 --> 00:02:31.965 I start my day with a prayer 59 00:02:31.965 --> 00:02:34.165 By the grace of God's permission 60 00:02:34.165 --> 00:02:38.715 If I think about it, I’m so thankful for it 61 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:41.215 Our school was a Christian school 62 00:02:41.215 --> 00:02:44.814 so we had service once a week in the auditorium 63 00:02:44.814 --> 00:02:47.214 As I said I was the head of the religion group 64 00:02:47.214 --> 00:02:49.014 So during that time 65 00:02:49.014 --> 00:02:51.214 I did the roll call 66 00:02:51.214 --> 00:02:53.614 and there was a Bible class 67 00:02:53.614 --> 00:02:57.714 I attended church while learning theories there 68 00:02:57.714 --> 00:03:01.813 God allowed me to unfold 69 00:03:01.813 --> 00:03:03.313 All my dreams 70 00:03:03.313 --> 00:03:06.563 And hobbies at the church 71 00:03:06.563 --> 00:03:09.213 I couldn’t afford private education 72 00:03:09.213 --> 00:03:12.663 I couldn’t afford any type of education 73 00:03:12.663 --> 00:03:15.862 But the church taught me everything 74 00:03:15.862 --> 00:03:17.162 I could have a dream 75 00:03:17.162 --> 00:03:19.612 We did things like “Literary Night” 76 00:03:19.612 --> 00:03:23.312 Writing things, or hosing an event 77 00:03:23.312 --> 00:03:26.762 God has been nurturing my talents since then 78 00:03:26.762 --> 00:03:30.411 If I hadn’t gone to church 79 00:03:30.411 --> 00:03:33.261 Of course the God I met 80 00:03:33.261 --> 00:03:35.761 Is absolutely meticulous 81 00:03:35.761 --> 00:03:38.061 And planned every 82 00:03:38.061 --> 00:03:40.161 Little details of my life 83 00:03:40.161 --> 00:03:41.161 According to those plans... 84 00:03:41.161 --> 00:03:43.361 God did not answer any of my prayers 85 00:03:43.361 --> 00:03:46.160 Nothing went the way I wanted it to be 86 00:03:46.160 --> 00:03:47.160 I was being led 87 00:03:47.160 --> 00:03:50.110 According to God’s will 88 00:03:50.110 --> 00:03:53.260 God led me to church 89 00:03:53.260 --> 00:03:55.410 “Spread your wings here” 90 00:03:55.410 --> 00:03:56.660 “Learn” 91 00:03:56.660 --> 00:03:58.760 And I started to build my dream 92 00:03:58.760 --> 00:04:01.909 I’ve never thought of majoring Theater before 93 00:04:01.909 --> 00:04:04.209 It’s called a church retreat, right? 94 00:04:04.209 --> 00:04:05.559 During middle and high school? 95 00:04:05.559 --> 00:04:08.759 I used to do comedy skits when I went there 96 00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:09.959 3-minute, 5-minute skits 97 00:04:09.959 --> 00:04:11.809 I wrote them all... 98 00:04:11.809 --> 00:04:14.209 I would also act and even received awards 99 00:04:14.209 --> 00:04:18.258 I hosted events like Literature Nights and those lucky draws 100 00:04:18.258 --> 00:04:20.108 In the old days, there were many things like that 101 00:04:20.108 --> 00:04:21.758 We did things like a poetry recitation 102 00:04:21.758 --> 00:04:24.008 Hahaha 103 00:04:24.008 --> 00:04:26.308 I also worked in the editing department at the church 104 00:04:26.308 --> 00:04:27.858 Really 105 00:04:27.858 --> 00:04:29.908 It gave me so many opportunities 106 00:04:29.908 --> 00:04:33.157 To lead the way in so many ways 107 00:04:33.157 --> 00:04:37.557 As I said earlier, God is meticulous 108 00:04:37.557 --> 00:04:41.557 Even in my own life where I don't realize it 109 00:04:41.557 --> 00:04:42.607 God has… 110 00:04:42.607 --> 00:04:45.707 Been planning my life all along 111 00:04:45.707 --> 00:04:48.007 When I think about it, it's really 112 00:04:48.007 --> 00:04:49.456 Don't move 113 00:04:49.456 --> 00:04:52.156 I can’t go anywhere 114 00:04:52.156 --> 00:04:55.356 Shall We Listen?
