Day 27 – Joan So

1. What do you do for a living? (occupation/field of study)

I work with my mom at her early childhood daycare.

2. How do you like to spend your free time?

I watch a lot of TV shows and movies. These days I’ve been trying to listen to more music (if you have any recommendations or are passionate about sharing, I'd love to take a listen!).

3. Share one interesting fact about you that most people don’t know!

I tend to have phases in collecting random items. I’ve collected coins, postcards, and old technology devices. At the moment I’m interested in vinyl records.

4. Do you have a favorite book in the Bible? If you do, which one is it and why?

I don’t have a favorite but one book I tend to go back to is the book of Psalms. It’s a book I turn to in any season of my life.

5. Is there a verse/passage in the Bible that has significantly impacted your life? If so, which is it and why?

Psalm 34:4 - This was my bible verse of last year. I have a lot of fears and it is hard to give all of my worries and anxieties to God. But this verse continues to challenge me to have faith that He has already delivered me from my fears.

6. Is there a prayer request that has been on your heart recently? If so, please share with us.

Please pray I will continue to trust God in every circumstance, for obedience in how the Spirit leads, and to block out the lies of the enemy every single day.

7. Tell us about how you met Christ? (feel free to share a brief testimony)

I met Christ at my first Kingdom Series Conference. At the time I was struggling with my faith and reached a point of burn out along with internal battles that made me insecure and anxious. I felt very hopeless and believed there was no way out, but God opened the door for this conference to happen right at the perfect time.

I didn’t have many expectations coming into the conference but a desire to meet God. God literally changed me. I came into the conference believing I didn’t deserve life because of my terrible faith, my failures and struggles with insecurities, anxiety, worthlessness. But I left the conference changed and reminded me of my true identity as a child of God. That I am loved and accepted by the Father and nothing can separate the love of God.
