Pastor Jisun relates a humorous story about trusting her GPS too much and landing up at a Turkish restaurant instead of a retail store because of a mistyped address. Pastor Jisun declares that our destination is the Kingdom of God. She explains Jesus' parable that the Kingdom of God is like a pearl of great price sought by a merchant, who when he finds it, sells all he has in order to obtain it.
Pastor Jisun weaves in her own experiences with career paths to illustrate the challenge of coming up with the correct destination in life. After graduating with a computer science degree and working as a programmer and then as a web marketing creator and product manager, she found that she was dissatisfied with her career. She enrolled in a seminary in order to discern whether she was cut out to be a pastor. She began serving as a children's pastor and experienced a deep joy that confirmed her vocation. Thus after several changes in direction she got on to the correct route to the Kingdom of Heaven.
