| i can't help but be happy and feel ubber special to be His.
ubber ubber.
i'm thankful to God the most, who has always loved me and blessed me so much over these long long years.
as i'm just a few hours away from my 21st birthday and reflect on all these long years that i've lived,
i can say that though i've not been faithful to Him, He always has.
i'm His!
everything that has been happening this semester at my school and in my life has been unexpected and what i like to believe as supernatural. only by God's power and for His glory can these changes occur.
we finally got a wednesday evening prayer meeting going,
with 2 smithies who join us to help us get it running.
they have been such a blessing to my life.
when i asked for God for prayer warriors to help me with prayer meetings, He provided.
saturday morning meetings started again last week, too.
both prayer meetings are small in size, but big in faith. it's the only thing that is keeping us going.
God is calling us to repent and to love him more and more through these prayer meetings.
also to pray for this campus and the Valley, for our churches and community.
i was planning to go to korea next fall, after not being able to go next semester.
...but i don't think that's going to happen. haha. failx2 to study abroad in korea.
God's been teaching me which way is not His way.
the more and more i pray for this campus, i realize how much God loves Mount Holyoke. ...
it wasn't by accident i ended up at this school.
from start to end, i believe He will do amazing works on this campus.
and i want to be here to witness as much as i can in the short time i have left.
완전하신 나의 주 의의 길로 날인도 하소서
행하신 모든 일 주님의 영광 다 경배 합니다
예배 합니다
찬양합니다
주님만 날 다스리소서
예배 합니다
찬양합니다
주님 홀로 높임 받으소서! | | |
| there have been better days......
i went into the chapel... don't think i've ever really ran to the chapel like the way i did yesterday. out of fear, out of stress, out of worry. it's a scary place without the lights on. i've seen law and order-ish episodes where people get attacked in dark, isolated places, though those episodes haven't influenced me enough to make me carry a swiss knife or a taser. i was on my way to the gym, to run off the stress, and what i considered to be annoyance to not knowing why i was feeling the way i was. it's grown to be one of those places where i can freely go in and pray. i never went in there before this year.... i wish i had started going earlier. i asked God for peace, understanding of what i do not know, and hope for what i do not know is to come.
to someone who means so much to you, it's hard to sense that hardship will come their way. i thought, not to him. ... i don't know what's going to happen. if anything is going to happen. but i'm now at peace, knowing that God has a purpose to mature him.
working wonders, that's my God.

| the problem i have...
i don't like following other people's schedule once my schedule is set...
and i usually set up my schedule at the beginning of the week.
in my planner i write down at what hour and how long i will be doing something.
this is a problem.
i feel like this is the right time.
right time for recovery.
for me.
though i've struggled to understand the timing before,
i know now.
i can definitely sense my introvert-ed-ness getting in the way.
i don't feel like socializing a lot of the times, sometimes to the point where i get a headache.
i hope that i don't give the impression that i don't like some people...
as i'm making steps to forgive others and to ask forgiveness from those i've sinned against,
i find that i have done wrong to so many people.
that many of my relationships can be mended and built stronger. | | |
| i just finished writing a letter. i guess it can be considered a bit personal.
i love receiving letters. electronically written letters are nice, but handwritten ones are the best.
handwritings have a sentimental value, especially in letters.
many people have told me recently that a guy should always be the first to pursue the gal.
alright, alright.
but a gal can crush on, can't she?
religion classes. oi.
taking up the religion major, i knew that i would face a lot of controversial issues relating to Christianity,
such as how nonbelievers view the Bible, Jesus, and the Church.
that's just a millionth of a speck of the problem.
i'm slowly finding myself becoming extremely upset and offended by some of the ways professors and fellow students converse about Christianity. at the same time, i can see how we, as humans, can be easily blinded by the thinkings of this world.
i'm earning less than 25 dollars a week, unless i pick up another job.
maybe this is for me to study a bit more this semester.
or to survive barely.
how did i get "the most likely to pee in a swimming pool"?
it's my 3rd year at mount holyoke.
the school that i still wish could change its name to a more attractive one.
it's been less than a week, and i'm wanting to go back home.
i get homesick more and more every year.

| God proves me wrong. Again.
as I make my own claims about this world, about people, and even about myself.
like a dog buries its head into the ground when she is caught with a mistake,
i do just the same.
My brother and his high school ego.
he thinks his body is so fab.
hahhh.
i heard that all guys check out their bodies in the mirror everyday.
it's not like they can transform their bodies into one that's a bit more muscular.
but then women stare at their faces for long periods of time, and they don't get prettier.
so i guess men and women are both pathetic to some degree.
(following excerpt from homiletic commentary: daniel)
the happiness of faithful believers. Trusting to God's promised protection and seeking conscientiously to do His will, believers are the subjects of a peace to which the world is a stranger; and are kept in peace amid dangers and troubles, while unbelievers are in anxiety and distress, even when surrounded with all earthly comforts. Marked contrast between the peace of Daniel in the lions' den, and the misery and disquiet of the king in his palace. "What a night was that when Darius was sleepless in his palace, and Daniel tranquil, perhaps joyful, in his dungeon! Who would not pity the miserable monarch, and who would not envy the happy martyr? Fear, restlessness, self-reproach, were the demons that haunted the couch of earthly greatness; joy and peace in believing like spirits of light, beamed on the ground where helpless piety reposed." -Cox.
i pray that i will become a faithful believer like daniel and for everyone else out there to become like daniel.
may we be able to place our complete trust in God and know that He is sufficient for us. | | |
