Moons POV

I lay peacefully in my bed, sleeping.

That was untill I heard one of the most annoying sounds of all time.

My alarm.

Don't get me wrong, I love the song Euphoria but I wish I didn't have to wake up right now.

I turn my head to the noice and pick up my phone so I can turn of the sound of my alarm playing.

I check my phone on social media and I check my mails aswell.

I look at the time, it's 8:35 am.

Way to early for my liking but I don't really have a choice. I've got plenty of things to do today. I'll probably have to go grocery shopping too. I don't think Mimi is going to be in the right state of mind to do it today.

With a sigh I get out of my bed and walk to the kitchen.

Just like I  had suspected, nobody else is awake yet. They're probably going to be sleeping till noon.

I walk to the fridge and take out some banana milk, cheese and eggs. I'll probably make an omelette with some cheese, drink some banana milk and call it breakfast.

After preparing my meal and eating it it's already 09:48 am.

That's not as late as I thought it would be.

I have to be in the studio around noon, so I've got plenty of time to get ready.

I clean my dishes and decide I'll take a shower to clean myself. Something that is definitely needed because my hair smells like liquor.

I walk back to my bedroom and grab a black jeans and a grey hoodie. I also take some fresh underwear and head to the bathroom.

There is one positive about waking up before everyone else and that is,

The bathroom is not occupied.

I undress, step in the shower and start washing my hair.

I'm not really a morning person, I like to sleep in and I probably would never leave my bed if that was an option. Sadly it's not. I'm also normally not a person who showers in the morning. Normally I shower before I go to sleep. I like it better that way. That way my hair can dry naturally at night and I'll feel fresh in the morning. Obviously I had no time for a shower yesterday night. I was way to tired to do anything else but sleep.

I'm curious if the others remember anything about last night. I have a feeling Mimi probably doesn't. She never does.

Jae, that's debatable. She normally remembers everything, but she normally isn't that drunk so I guess we shall see.

For some reason Yun will probably remember everything, even tho that girl can get so drunk she almost dies, she'll always remember everything. It's kinda scary really.

Jae and Mimi, mostly Mimi, complain that she doesn't remember anything and that Yun should be happy she could remember.

Yun always responds with "It's more of a curse then a blessing, sometimes I wish I didn't remember."

I think I understand what she means, in that perspective I'm the same as Yun.

I can drink as much as I want, I'll remember everything. But I don't drink much so it's never a problem.

Ones I'm done showering I change in my clothes and head back to my room.

My hair is still wet so I decide to wear a beanie.

I look at the clock and see it's 10:27 am.

There is still no sign that my friends are waking up anytime soon.

I put on my boots and take my jacket. I take my keys and my bag and leave for the car.

I guess it's time for me to go grocery shopping.

Ones in the grocery I buy whatever I think we'll be needing. I'm normally not the one to do it, but it needs to be done.

Ones I'm back home I see that Jae is awake.

"Good morning." I say while unpacking the groceries.

"Hey Moon. Do you know where the painkillers are?" Jae asks me in a quiet voice.

She's definitely hungover.

"I think in the cabinet next to instant noodles." I exclam while still unpacking.

I hear her open the cabinet and take a painkiller.

"I found them, thanks." She says after taking a painkiller.

"You seem pretty hungover Jae." I state to her.

"I AM pretty hungover. This fucking sucks." She huffes.

"You shouldn't have drunk as much as you did. Then you wouldn't be in this position." I claim.

"Shut up will you. I know I shouldn't have but you know how it goes..." She argues back.

Honestly, I don't know. I'm pretty good at holding my liquor so it's never really been a problem for me.

"Whatever floats your boat Jae." I chuckle.

"How long have you been awake?" She asked me while she goes to sit down.

I look at the clock and see it's 11:36 am.

"About three hours now. I'm guessing you just woke up." I reply.

"Why the fuck would you wake up that early?" Jae exclames

"Because unlike some people I actually have things to do today and wanted to get it done." I articulate.

Jae just rolls with her eyes.

"I made y'all some breakfast btw, it's more like brunch right now but whatever. It's in the fridge." I announce to Jae.

I get up from the table to walk to my room but I get interrupted by Jae.

"You made us breakfast? That's a first." She interjects.

"It's not a first you bitch, I always make y'all breakfast when you're hungover." I remark.

Without waiting for her to respond I walk to my room.

I grab my bag and put all my work in it.

I walk back to the kitchen to see Jae eat the food I made for her.

She's watching her kdrama while eating.

I go to the cabinet and grab a pot of instant noodles and a banana milk out the fridge. I put them both in my bag and walk to the front door of the apartment.

"Where are you going?" I hear Jae ask me before I could leave.

"To the studio." I answer without looking up.

"It's not even school today." She nags.

"That doesn't mean I can't work for school. Besides, now I'm behind on schedule because of yesterday." I persist.

"Are you leaving already?" I hear a different voice say.

I turn around and look at both Yun and Jae.

"I have to get my work done guys." I sigh.

It's not like it's fun for me to leave them alone all the time. They're my friends and I care about them. But I also care about my future.

"Can't you go to the studio around 1 pm?"

Yun begs me.

I take a deep breath.

I guess I can do that.

I sigh but place my bag on the floor and walk back to the table and sit down.

"I'll stay till 12:30 pm alright." I confirm.

Yun smiles at me.

"Good to hear." She smiles.

"So how are you?" I ask after a short silence.

"I'm oke. I guess." She mumbles while stuffing her face with bacon.

"I honestly don't remember much." Jae confesses.

I'm not surprised about that.

"I fucking wish I didn't remember anything. It was so embarrassing." Yun grumbles.

"I only remember that Mimi started puking and that you were grinding against some guy." Jae laughs.

"Euw, Don't remind me of Mimi puking. You know I hate puke." She recalls disgusted.

"Who was the guy?" I hint in a joking matter.

"Just some guy I made out with, he wasn't my soulmate." She whines.

I just shake my head an laugh a little.

This is typical behavior for her. Same goes for Mimi. Always going around and have one night stands with random guys from clubs. The only rule we have is to not go to his home. Luckily that didn't happen yesterday.

"I really hoped I would have found my soulmate." Jae whimpers.

"Same here, I'll probably just die alone." Yun dramatically states.

"I actually enjoyed myself for and hour are so." I suddenly confess to them.

The both turn their heads to me at the same time and just stare at me.

"Can you both stop staring at me please, it's unsettling." I accuse.

"You enjoyed yourself? At a party? Do I even know you?" Yun jokes while she punches my arm.

"Then what did you do? Because I didn't see you dance even ones." Jae questions.

"I talked to a someone. Her name was Areum. She was very nice. She also helped me find Soo-Yun." I inform them.

"I'm glad you actually enjoyed yourself. Maybe you'll come with us again." Yun smiles at me.

She trying to hint me to go with them again. Oh hell nah.

"I don't think so, but good try." I laugh and pet her on the shoulder.

"But I'm leaving now." I inform them.

I get up and walk to the front door.

"Don't come home to late!" Jae yells.

I pick my bag from the ground and open the door.

"I won't, tell Mi-Hi that her food is in the fridge!" I yell before I close the door.

I decided that I'll go on foot. The studio isn't so far from our apartment it's only a 20 minute walk. I plug in my headphones and start blasting Dimple from BTS.

God I love that song.

Ones I get to the studio I start looking for my ID to show them I have promision to use the studio.

When I look in my wallet for my ID I found an familiar looking card.

It's the card that Ari unnie gave me.

I put it in my pocket and walk in the building.

I show them my ID and walk to my studio.

I poof myself in my seat and pull the card out of my pocket.

Coffee shop Blooming.

It look aesthetically pleasing.

I'll definitely go there this week. I would really like to talk to Ari unnie again. She was very nice.

I put it back in the pocket of my jeans and start to work on my final project of this semester.

I have alot to catching up to do. Definitely now that I'm leaving in a few weeks to Busan for Hanas birthday.

I can't afford to waist time.

I sigh one last time before I take of my headphones and plug them in my computer. I'm in work mode ones again.

This is going to be a long day.

God Called Me A Pineapple.

Today, I’m going to share something God has been teaching me. If you don’t know, I went back to school last year, and I’m working towards my Master’s degree in teaching international languages. I know it sounds fancy but you see, I never wanted to go back to school. I’ve been (mostly) happy working from home as a web designer these past seven years. Who would have thought I would want to change careers? I never saw it coming, to suddenly have such a strong desire to go back to school and become an English teacher. Well, God is full of surprises. So, here I am, finding a way to roll through this season.

While registering for classes this semester, I said, “God, how am I going to do this?” Princesses, on top of school, I also have three jobs. I know that following Christ into the unknown takes a lot of faith, but it’s hard work too. My heart kept saying, “Lord, I know this is your will, but how can I do this, all these things you’ve asked of me?”

A few days after registration, God showed me a vision.

I saw a pineapple trying to roll along steep, rocky hills. It couldn’t get over them. The pineapple was too spiky, and the path was not easy. Then I saw a huge double-edged sword horizontally laying in the ground, half of it above ground and half of it under. Then I saw the pineapple begin to roll on this sword. As it rolled, the part of the sword that was sticking up above ground began to cut off the rough edges of the pineapple and make it smooth. Once this pineapple was spike-free and completely polished, it rolled off the sword and onto level ground and was able to roll forward, with ease and agility.

He said to me, “Daughter, you are this pineapple.“

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. – Proverbs 3:5-6

“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” -Hebrews 4:12-13

First, let’s focus on the fact that God just called me a pineapple. (What happened to “princess”?) Second, on a deeper note, He began to speak to me and said if I gave Him the first part of my day, honor His Sabbath, and watch no TV all semester (this was Him cutting off all the edges of my pineapple life), He would help me do everything I need to do. He said through this process, He would make the rough paths smooth for me. He would give me favor, where I lack He would provide, and what was once challenging and difficult to understand would become easy. His request was that I would, in exchange, give Him the first moments of my day, spend one day per week without doing school work or working, and let go of watching TV. In other words, if I give Him my time before anything else, He would give me everything else.

Abide Rhymes With Hide

He is teaching me that the only way I can do what He’s called me to do is through abiding in Him.

Note: Actually, He's taught me this plenty of times before. I'm just a silly little human that forgets, begins to think I'm strong and have it all together, until I realize I don't and need God. Again. :) Same lesson, new season. Also, I think it's cool that "abide" rhymes with "hide", because that's what abiding means - hiding/surrounding yourself with God.

Everything that God calls us to do is absolutely impossible on our own — that’s why it seems scary and daunting — but at the same time, it’s absolutely possible when we do it with God. He wants us to be one with Him. There’s no substitution or excuse that we can use to hide from Him, because He’ll pursue us until we are hidden in Him, and until then, we can do nothing.

“Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.” – John 15:4-11

This semester, I decided to try this out, like an “experiment”. I would do what God asked and see what would happen. I let Him adjust my life, cut away what He wanted, while I rolled along His sword, molding me into who He wants me to be. Princesses, He is faithful. I’ve been more joyful this semester; I feel at peace. There’s no resemblance of my stressed, almost-pulling-out-my-hair, self from last semester. Although, I must say the temptation to disobey is strong. I’ll say to God, “It’s been a long day, can I just watch one show?” (No.) Then when I know my homework is due Monday, but I promised God Sunday I would take to rest, to take out my book and start reading is so tempting. Though, you know what surprises me? Every time I refuse the enemy’s voice and say, “Lord, I don’t know how, but I believe you’ll make a way if I obey,” He absolutely comes through in the most insane ways.

A few weeks, my professor told us we needed to observe and co-tutor with someone in the writing center and write about our experience. Well, for two weeks, every time I went in there were no students. Then last Monday, my professor said he wanted us to have our observation notes ready by Wednesday to discuss what we had learned. I begged God to send a student to the center. Tuesday – no students. Wednesday, I went to the center a few hours before class, desperate. I heard God tell me to ask my friend if I could co-tutor with her if anyone came in. I did and then waited for two hours. ONE hour before my class, this girl walks in with an assignment. Someone else from my class jumped up and asked to tutor with my friend, but she said she already promised me I could sit with her. THANK YOU, JESUS! We had the best session, and sure I barely made it to class, but I made it and had all my notes ready for the discussion. God did it!

I don’t know what to say. I’m surprised by the love of God.

Who am I that God should care? I’m just some girl in the world, one in seven billion, studying to be an English teacher. There’s nothing that extraordinary about me, I’m average, a pineapple. Then, He comes and says He wants more time with me, to help me write my papers, to do my classes with me, to be the shoulder I can lean on. He wants to make me a better person. He wants to create with me. He wants me to rest in His arms. What kind of God is this that He would love us so intimately, so beautifully and patiently? I’m in awe. He loves us so much.

What Is God Saying to You?

Wherever you are, however your day looks, take a moment to stop and listen. God has something to say to you, and it’s probably not what you think. Be still. What is He is saying?

Are you tired, friend? Do you feel far from God? Have you been stressed and anxious these days? Do you need rest and peace? Come to the Father. Give Him your time, and He will give you what you need. Letting Him have the beginning of my day was His request of me, what is He requesting of you?

Father, I thank you for being good, for giving me this grace to grow with you. Thank you for asking for my time, for disciplining me, because I know that the fruit of this process will be worth the sacrifice. Nothing is more important than you. I say this with my mouth, but I want to show you with my actions. Father, bless these girls to walk in righteousness, to walk in a deeper understanding of your love for them. I thank you for creating each of them, precious and royal, formed in your hands. I ask that you continue to mold us, Lord. Help us to be more like you, Jesus. Take away anything that would hinder us from being near to you. Speak your truth to these princesses, and may they hear you with such absolute clarity. May we go into this world, shining bright, because we have first chosen to abide in You. We love you, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.

With all my love, The Pineapple Princess

Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?…. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 3But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. -Matthew 6:26, 30-33
