Deborah Lee, a woman who so clearly ran after the heart and will of God, died on Thursday at Biola University.
Her roommate Sharon Kim said she had been struggling with too big of a heart (haha) for the past couple of months which led to her death at 10:45am. This has been a constant battle for Lee and was finally given to God.
Lee grew up in San Jose, CA and lived in the same house her entire life. She grew up with one older brother and both her parents. In high school, she found Christ and moved on to make a huge, drastic change in liker. She applied to Biola University; a private, small, Christian University in Southern California. Throughout the 2 years she attended, she found her calling into ministry through her passion of photojournalism.
A woman, who served in many ministries, was passionate about serving God and his people. She was involved with children's ministry at The Church of Southland and was training to be a leader in her college ministry. She truly enjoyed the presence of people and was always amazed by the creation of each person's personality. She constantly talked about the ways God had revealed himself to her in life and continued until her death to minister to others.
A passion that Lee pursued as her career was photojournalism. She wanted to be able to tell a story behind her photos that others can relate to. She wanted her photos to pierce deep into a wounded or hardened heart. Emotions were how she captured people with her photos. A photo Mentor of hers, Hudson Lim and her photo class were really what taught her everything about photojournalism. An up and coming photojournalist longing to convey a message was also so grounded in her faith. There was an obvious sense of joy when Lee took a photo that captured God's great creation.
