Forget the Past, Move Forward

It’s New Year’s Eve! I just can’t believe the fact that today is the end of the year. Time flies so fast! Many things have happened this year. Whether they were pleasant or not, I still wanted to thank God for what He has done for me through this year.

Looking back, I realized that I was such a disappointment to everybody and mostly to God. I did not do what I supposed to do. I rebelled. I took the wrong path. I abandoned God. I wasted time. I complained. I hated. I hold grudge. I cheated. This was me. I was shocked and I was embarrassed.

Things were very complicated until the mid-year of 2011. I was a mess. However, God is over abundantly being gracious to me. He walked me back to the right path. Before, I was lost and astray, but now I am found. When I came to Biola, everything changes. One thing I thank God the most for this year is studying at Biola because at there, I was transformed into a new person.

This year is another great year for me. God’s grace and mercy are still with me. I cannot and will never be able to count His blessings to me. This is my reflection. I hope it can bring blessings to you.

I hope you guys can start your new day in 2012 by recording what God has done in your life. List all your struggles and bible verses that strengthen and comfort you. It’s going to be wonderful to read back what God has done in your life if you read it after 20 years. =)

Have a wonderful NEW YEAR everyone! =). God bless you abundantly!

Tick Tock

3 days guys... they are coming in 3 days.. =D. I'm super duper happy..! Today is the start of my final week. I don't have heavy subject to study.. i only need to memorize some passages, and that's all. I'm thankful that i don't need to study much.. :).

We are going to do a road trip this december... kinda adventurous and i think i love it.. i'm so curious what will come out.. hohohoho.. how's your holiday guys? =D. i think you guys must be so excited ;).

i don't have many things to say honestly.. cause i watched k-drama all day long... i am currently watching "My Princess". At first, i was watching "The Musical". That drama was hilarious.. it was the story about a girl who is passionate about musical and she striving to play on the stage. Thumbs up for her. She never gives up. I hope i can have the spirit like her. =(. I love musical, too, but my desire is not as big as her.. sighhh... well, unfortunately, the subtitle is not very good after 5 or 6 episodes, and i stopped... so, i switched to My Princess. taraaa... <3 that  drama.. hhohoho

That's all i think =D. Planning to go to D-land with Sharon this week.. hope there is someone who can drop and pick us.. prayyyy...
Ganbatte for the ones who have final!!
and have a happy holiday ;).

13 days to Christmas!

Secret Santa

Hi guys... :). How are you? it is a tough week, isn't it? well, everyone is in the midst of final test. I hope you guys can do and pass the test pretty well. ;). Ganbatteeee... Always rely on Him, study well.. !!
These 2 weeks are my final week, and i'm pretty glad that finally i can end this semester. :). I am so grateful  for many things that God has taught me so far this fall. It's not only the knowledge i received, but also spiritual maturity. I now know that He is my God, who is sovereign. I am saved by grace, nothing else. Furthermore, what He has done for me is to glorify His name.
For one month I pondered about this thing. Well, here is the thing. We have been saved. Imagine what will happen if God did not save us. We certainly are dead. However, because of His abundant love, He saved us! Now, we are in Christ folks. That's one thing i always thank Him for.
Next, we have a new life. We should live not for our own desire, but we should live for Him. In this case, every time we read the Bible or pray to God, remember that it is not for our own sake. Asking God to heal us for instance. I don't say that we should not pray to God to heal us, but please pray that His will be done. We don't have right to ask God to fulfill our wish because, remember, we were dead if He did not save us. He owns our lives now by sacrificing His only Son to pay for our sin. Therefore, we should live according what God wants.
This is my thought and i have been thinking about this until now. Moreover, after i have done the paper and discovered so many unexpected things. I know my writing is not so good, but i'm trying to learn how to write note like this. :).

Well, i need to find or make present above 5 dollars. =.=". anyone has suggestion? i need to do it this week because my dorm plays "Secret Santa". I want to make a scarf, but i cannot knit. T.T . well2... hope i can find the perfect gift. Lol. Christmas is coming and i am terribly excited. My family is coming! *dance* miss them so much.. =)

Anyway, see you guys in the next post ;)
Christmas in 19 days =DDDD

Early Thanksgiving?

Howdy! it's Thursday already. Gosh! Thanksgiving holiday is in 5 days..! =D. Gonna have trip to SF with my friends. oohh ohh.. Superb.. can't wait ;).
Anyway, i have early thanksgiving dinner at the cafe today.. saw Dr. Barry Corey, Biola President and took pictures with him. He really looks like a celebrity. Hohoho. I stuffed myself with too much food today. Forgive me dear stomach. I just can't resist the temptation. hiks. i gained lots of weight since i came here and every day i am crying for that. *sigh. any suggestion friends? =.='. my face is getting rounder rounder rounder and round.. =_______________='.
As usual, i got SIM paper that is due tomorrow, and i am doing it now. Soooo frustrated. But it is the 12th SIM and i still got one more plus one hermeneutics paper and then i am done forever. yippieeeee... I am so glad that i can survive all of those. Thanking God for that. =D. He is such a lovely Father to me and you know what? He accompanies me every day, every time, especially when i felt so lonely. =). I'm so glad that I have Him in my life.

Try this: Every morning you wake up, think of 5 things you are thankful for and every night before you sleep, do the same! Thanks God every day even for the smallest thing you do, like walking, eating, sleeping, etc. Don't take things for granted because you will never know when you will have that chance again. =)

Happy early Thanksgiving, guys!

Still?

一閃一閃亮晶晶
留下歲月的痕跡
我的世界的中心
依然還是你

一年一年又一年
飛逝僅在一轉眼
唯一永遠不改變
是不停地改變

我不像從前的自己
你也有點不像你
但在我眼中你的笑
依然的美麗

日子只能往前走
一個方向順時鐘
不知道還有多久
所以要讓你懂我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到最後 一定會
依然愛你

我依然愛你 或許是 命中注定
多年之後 任何人都無法代替
那些時光是我這一輩子最美好的
那些回憶 依然無法忘記

我依然愛你 就是 唯一的退路
我依然珍惜 時時刻刻的幸福
你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到最後 一定會
依然愛你

你每個呼吸 每一個動作 每個表情
到永遠 一定會
依然愛你

love this song so much.. =D

Hidden Dream

oh yeah.. i actually have a deep-buried dream in my life. People who were in the same class with me will notice that. Honestly, i wanted to be a vet. I want to work at the zoo, with animals. Learn about them, train them, take care of them... but God did not allow me to do that. I also knew the risks and consequences i will get if I become a vet. Yah... =(.
Anyway, God always has beautiful plan for us... so, i was not discouraged and i will not blame anyone.. besides, it was only a dream..

Got A DREAM?

Hi, guys.. It's Thursday.. honestly the most frustrated day for the whole week because on Friday i need to submit my SIM paper. Amazingly, God helped me a lot today.. =). I was able to finish it up before 9, and it was pretty fast.. I never thought that i could finish it up. I guessed my writing has improved? =). Hope that i can write better.

So, we got block party tonight. Pretty sudden though, but luckily Sydney is really smart. She arranged it so well that people enjoyed it. =D. So, she shared some stories about the book, "OCEAN STAR" by Christina deMari and then we started to do something... something that is called our dream.. well..
Everyone creates their own thing.. cutting magazine and sticking it to paper to show their dream.. =)

Do you have dream? Try to do this.. It is fun and stress-releasing. I love it so much.. =D

Pumpkin Month

It's october guys! Exactly 2 months left til christmas. I'm so excited >.<
Anyway, busy week =(. Got a speech this thursday, SIM this Friday, but i will SURVIVE! with God's help of course. I just surrender everything to Him and i cannot do all of these stuffs with my own strength. =). I wish i can have this kind of spirit everyday. This morning i felt so gloomy honestly. Morning class + rain. however, i just tried to be grateful and thankful for everything. It was by His grace that i am still here. So, things got better after that. It makes me love Him more and more.

?????

I don't have title for this post.. Kinda random to write a blog after dinner. I don't know why but i just want to post something. Well, tomorrow i'm going to have TWO exam. Psych and Math. thanks God that math is not really hard because it's elementary level math. The problem is psych. Gosh.. i have studied for 2 days, and today i'm gonna review it.
Another thing is that i start to work on my SIM paper for the bible class. it is getting harder. =.='. i need to read all the commentaries on Joshua 1 and then write the meaning of the passage. not easy to do, but i found some discoveries and this can make me understand the bible more, which is benefiting me. =D. Hope that i can do well on this paper. =)

I think that's all for today. God really blesses my abundantly today. Yesterday's problem vanished and i felt great today. =)
Anyway,
Good luck for everyone who is going to have tests tomorrow!! =)

Maybe i shouldn't be too happy

Had a bad dream yesterday and awake for the whole night, terrified..
I did not have a good feeling today... no mood at all and i felt like crying.
It's too much.. too much for me. I can't stand it any longer...
I just can rely on Him.. It's hard though, to surrender everything to him.. but as i walked back to dorm with all that stupid stuff in my mind, i saw someone wearing sweatshirt with the word "pray".
Pray... yes, that's what i need.. =(


Pain.. anxious... disappointment...

please erase that all God...
