Korean Bathhouse, anyone (except the noisy ones please)?

So, a friend and I last weekend took our second trip to a Korean Bathhouse in Dallas off of Royal Lane. I had loved it the first time around back in August, so we decided to go again!

I was so utterly excited about this because I just loved the freedom and soothing/quiet atmosphere it provided. Here are some photos:

Entrance

Women's spa room

Awesome theater, mainly people relax here and take naps in the spacious seating. That night they played Unknown and Morning Glory.

I love the aroma room your breathing literally opens up with you step into this space.

The food court. They have a lot space for you to sit chat and relax and of course EAT! They do carry a selection of Korean favorites and an array of fruit juices and fruit smoothies. I'm sure next time we will try and actually eat some of the traditional cuisine.

Overall impression the first time around five stars. The second time around I was almost completely turned off with the experience. I was excited to be pampered and relax but instead I was disturbed with loud noise from disrespectful newcomers, who clearly had no sense to realize that it is a place to come and relax and to allow others to do he same.

The first time I came the ethnic culture was mainly Asian families and a few Mexican families. The next time it was full of Americans (I am an American myself), which is fine I understand the place is trying to appeal to the masses but seriously, majority of them ruined it for me.

I was sad to see that the freedom of the spa room was inhibited by people who were way too conservative (not wanting to be naked in front of other women). Which I understand, however, this is the environment of the public bathhouse, you will be naked along with other women who go there. It then created an atmosphere of women being self conscious of their bodies (even the Asian women). It is understood you are not there to look at each other and size one another up. But to relax and be free! It was very annoying and took away from the overall experience. Both times I have gone on a Friday night. I'm sure I will have to go one more time to see how it matches up with the first two. Since, the price is going up ($20 to $25) I really hope I am not disappointed because then I will for sure not come back.

Things to be aware of if you've never gone before and what to expect:

1. You will be naked in front of other random women/men depending on what spa room you go into.

2. Please be mindful of other people in this space. They come to relax and pamper themselves. They aren't there to ruin it for you so don't ruin it for them!

Good, mate!

So, a little while ago, I posted something about finding the right person and understanding how God sees relationships.

This morning, I'm not sure exactly what I was doing at the time. But a scripture popped into my head about a man not looking for a wife (1 Corinthians 7:27). So, I googled it and it came up with several webpages with similar things. I opened this page up, I figured it would be something good to take a second look at. I did read it all and found myself comparing what scriptures say in essence, about a good mate and how I felt I measured up to the scriptures and then desperately prayed to the Lord that he is creating in me a good woman that will be a crown to her hubby.

Anyway, enjoy *_*

MI Papi!

My earthly father has been my dad for 26 years. My heavenly Father has been my dad since the foundations of the earth, in Christ.

God's Best

So, for the past few months I have been completely in love and infatuated with Korean Dramas!

^-^

I can't seem to get enough. Anyway, currently I am watching this one called Boys Before Flowers.

Besides the point, one of the character said, " It doesn't matter the route as long as the heart finds the right destination." Ok, I added the heart part.

Then the Lord helped me to see:

THANK YOU, LORD! That he is giving me an opportunity to have his best whether he is or not. Thank you Lord for letting me see that it is still a choice to trust you and receive your best.

I TRUST YOU, LORD! It's like even though we aren't even together...I still was choosing to be stuck and captive in that choice or idea to wait for him and accept him EVEN if he isn't Father's best for me. God you are so faithful and good to me! I love you Lord.

It's like especially with relationships, the worldly mindset is to take what's in front of you and not wait for the perfect will of God.

You worry and worry about if he is the one or if he is not. You don't really think about being content in your singleness until Mr. God's Will comes along. We get cheated out of time and energy, that can be better spent serving the Lord. If you're like me you've spent a good portion of your life wondering and thinking, praying...hoping the person you are with or are not with is the one.

Enough is enough, we should be anxious for nothing but bring everything to the Lord with prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. Because honestly, if he gave us this desire for intimacy he really is faithful to fulfill it without need to afflict ourselves with disquieted longings.

I don't want to be engrossed furthermore in wasting more time and energy in my pursuit of Mr. Right, but instead really focus on becoming the person that Mr. God's Will, will need when we do find each other.

Meanwhile, I will enjoy deep relationships with family and friends; while serving the Lord with what he wills.

I don't have to date around to get married.
