Power of Thankfulness.
A grateful heart protects you from negative thinking. Thankfulness enables you to see the abundance I shower upon you daily. Your prayers and petitions are winged into heaven’s throne room when they are permeated with thanksgiving. In everything give thanks, for this is My will for you. (Jesus Calling)
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1...

Baylor ruined our eyes...
Me: How did the college tours for Jenny [my sister] go?
Dad: It was...
Mom: It was bad.
Me: All the five school you guys visited were bad?
Mom: After seeing your school nothing looks good enough.
Dad: Yeah, the campus, buildings, residential hall, programs, etc... no school seems good enough anymore.
Mom: Baylor ruined our eyes.

Why is...
following God so hard sometimes?
Deny yourself. Die to yourself. Give up on your life to find it. Take up your cross and follow me.
Some days are great because Jesus is the best friend you can ever ask for, and you know and feel that he is so dear, gracious, and good!
…But there are also days you just want to cry all day because of things you have to give up or let go in this world to...
“Ah, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am only a child.” But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD. Jeremiah 1:6-8

My friend sent me a lovely yet spontaneous video while I’m at work. It made me smile. (:
hahaha.. this is me just being me, bored. :) I’m a weirdo :P
Wrestling With God
“And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day” (Gen. 32:24).
God is wrestling with Jacob more than Jacob is wrestling with God. It was the Son of man, the Angel of the Covenant. It was God in human form pressing down and pressing out the old Jacob life; and ere the morning broke, God had prevailed and Jacob fell with...
Fasting preparation...?
Preparation for a week-long-fast starts today. That means… I’m not really fasting this week lol but will be next week and I’m trying my body to get adjust eating less. Emily came back to the campus late last night needing help carrying $100 worth of grocery food… And seeing and carrying her new food, I was like… You aren’t fasting next week? Lol. Emily freaked...
.. I’m really trying hard to find ways to not to stay home for long for the summer.
So far, no matter how hard I try, it seems like I’m home at least month and a half (or more).
sighhh
This was actually what I was thinking about last night before I went to sleep. It hit me right on as I was reading it.
Joined in God
“As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing” (2 Cor. 6:10).
Sorrow was beautiful, but her beauty was the beauty of the moonlight shining through the leafy branches of the trees in the wood, and making little pools of silver here and there on the soft green...
hurt.
Lord,
You are.. really shaking the world I have been trying to cling on to. People leaving hurts. Changes hurt. letting go hurts… Even not having enough faith to just say, you can have it all hurts. I know you are always working… and you call people to different works and places, it still hurts every time… things do change when I least expect them to happen. It hurts and sucks...
A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

http://www.change.org/petitions/save-north-korean-refugees-savemyfriend
PLEASE just take 30 seconds to sign this petition that can save 30 North Korean refugees who got caught in China. There are only 2 days left and they have only met 20% of the goal. Because Kim Jung Il’s recent death, the law was set that if the people tried to escape within 100 days, the refugees and 3 generations of...
Click and sign the petition, please! →

30 North Koreans are currently in China, having been arrested after making attempts to escape to South Korea at different points this month.
China is going to repatriate them to North Korea in TWO DAYS (February 20th), where they will be executed under Kim Jung-Un’s new regime, but if you sign this petition, we have a better chance of convincing them to let them go...
This ring by spring culture at Baylor is very real. I don’t really know what to say about it sometimes. It seems like all the seniors have been getting engaged past few months (and still going on). I’m happy for them, but… it also scares me.
hm..
Alone
“Alone” (Deut. 32:12).
“The hill was steep, but cheered along the way By converse sweet, I mounted on the thought That so it might be till the height was reached; But suddenly a narrow winding path Appeared, and then the Master said, ‘My child, Here thou wilt safest walk with Me alone.’
“I trembled, yet my heart’s deep trust replied, ‘So be...
I am the risen one who shines upon you always. You worship a living Deity, not some idolatrous, man-made image. Your relationship with Me is meant to be vibrant and challenging, as I invade more and more areas of your life. Do not fear change, for I am making you a new creation, with old things passing away and new things continually on the horizon. When you cling to old ways and sameness, you...
Such a tiny offering, compared to Calvary, nevertheless we lay it at your feet…
Ordering the Stops
“In waiting, I waited, for the Lord” (Ps. 40:1, margin).
Waiting is much more difficult than walking. Waiting requires patience, and patience is a rare virtue. It is fine to know that God builds hedges around His people—when the hedge is looked at from the viewpoint of protection. But when the hedge is kept around one until it grows so high that he cannot...
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
There is no sin that is bigger than blood of Jesus...
A romantic(?) moment with Emily.
So I went to Emily’s room to thank her for the rose and give her valentine’s day cookies I made for her. I left my door open because I didn’t wanted to take my ID card, and my dorm is really safe. When I got to Emily’s room (the other side of the hall), I found that her door was open, but no one was in her room. I was like.. this is weird. Her computer was still on and I...
today...
I actually had a decent/good Valentine’s Day. The morning started off so slow and I had fever this morning. Waking up so… icky, I spent an hour doing devotional feeling light headed… still went to work. and then class. Nothing seemed anything special to me. I actually wished the day would fast forward and valentine day to be over. Nothing against it.. just I kinda hated people...
Lord, You are faithful.
Even when I don’t see it or feel it.

Spring Break
It’s about a month away. I have few options.. But I still… really don’t know.
Go on Civil Rights Tour
Human trafficking Awareness trip (??? - not too sure if this is still happening)
Help out a week long Kids Camp at Acts Church
Go home-… most not likely. I really don’t have enough courage/energy to go back home with all these… different things I am still...
