God is Good

Hi fellas, just want to say that i am pretty beat up today.. I got so much to do for this week and it's hard for me to sleep these days. I need at least 1 hour to sleep. =.=". but i'm so relieved too. Finally i can "breath" normally. Just finished up my big paper for my major class and seriously, without Him i don't even know i can submit it today. All praise to Him. =) I also had my NT exam today and it was great, i think. =D. Well, thanks to those two big tasks, time can pass faster. 4 weeks more and i'm done. I'm gonna be home soon.

This is the time, well, i miss my home so much. I miss my parents and siblings. I miss my bed. I miss my mom's cooking. I miss my hometown's food. I guess, if  i never study abroad, i will not start to appreciate what i had in the past. Thanking God for this wonderful opportunity that I had. *winkwink*

If life is never tough, i will not sense what it means to be free from problems. Life will be very dull. See... what if i don't encounter abundant and frustrating things in my life? i think i will never enjoy my life. hmm...  God is good. All the time. His grace is sufficient and His love is never ending. =)

Ah! almost forget to tell you a good news. My next dorm will be HOPE! Finally... >.<.  my last semester wish came true. =DD. i'm going to post what will my room look like next semester. promise. ;D

Looking forward to summer break.. counting days =DDDDD

going to be nerd for the rest of the weeks =p

=)

thanking God that i can still smile =)

Identity in Christ

Yellow, it's Friday and that means SPRING BREAK is almost OVERRRR! =.=" . I think it is a so so break to me because it is not really fun, but it is not really dull at all. I learn a lot even though during holiday. Anyway, gonna tell you a more thrilling story after my last post.

Yesterday, i went to the Seal Beach. guess what. We did not go by car, but but butttt, by BICYCLE. >.< . That was the most exciting thing i ever done so far. 50 km! The contentment i got after i have ridden the bike this far... so so indescribable.. Feeling tired, yes, but i felt so energized after that. I love it and i want to do this again. the only problem is... my butt is a little bit hurt.. =.='.

Anyway, i did not go anywhere today. The rain poured down heavily today and i stayed in my room for the whole time, doing my homework. So many.. hope can finish them soon. I went for a dinner with my friends though and had a little chit-chat. You know what? i learn something. This is it.
Don't let others define WHO YOU ARE. remember, your IDENTITY is in CHRIST. Don't be a victim of social life. when you are fighting, or you have troubles with others, don't let all these things haunted you for the whole life. When you feel like you are nothing or not popular, just remember who you are in Christ.
I was sort of relief after having this conversation because i know all this time, i always let others define me. Well, who wants to be insignificant? i tried so hard to be recognized by everyone. but, for what? come to this conclusion, i know that God is enough for me. although i'm nothing to others, i'm something to Him. He is my Savior and He is sovereign over my life. That's it. Period.
This is the lesson of the day. =). hope can be helpful. ;). posting some photosss...

With Melia cc and Sharon @Bolsa Chica for field trip report 

Visit the park for tree project.. isn't it nice? =D

This is called cones.. i thought this is called chestnut :p

Pictures of us having KFC...! ohohohohohoho.. note: rice is rare here. =p

Seal Beach with my name ;p. My friend helped me to write my name in Korean =D

Isn't it pretty? =) God's creation. 

Matthew 6: 28-34
 ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

P.S: I have started my humility training. please pray for me cause it is not easy. Thanks =)

Happen for Reasons

Some things happened lately and i'm gonna write it down so that i will not forget what happen. I'm having spring break now and yes, no school for a week. Before, me and my friends have plans for this break. Going San Diego and Hollywood. But, unexpected things occurred and i really have no idea about those things.
9th April 2012 will be the day that i will not forget for the rest of my live. The fact that i'm still posting blog today is a miracle... Last Monday, we had a car collision short after our dinner. It just happened so quickly and i did not what to say. but one thing i am sure that, i'm glad that i still have the chance to live. Luckily, everyone was allright. Really, God protected us. Even until now, i still cannot forget what happen that day.
I'm just really glad... Because of this, i grew closer to God and i really treasured my life starting from that night. I believe that everything happened for reason. Lesson that i learned these days is that try to be grateful. When you are thinking of dying, remember that there are thousand of people out there are trying to live.
The sad part is that Oliv probably won't be at Biola next semester. Otoke? :(. I hope God can let her continue here. *sigh. Bad news kept coming besides that and i don't know what should i say about this spring break... I felt so tired with all these stuffs. Somebody passed away, earthquake in my hometown, that "accident", tons of paper are waiting for me, and some "other" stuffs. I think this is the time i miss my family the most. I really need them. ='(

Hope God can give me strength to carry on... What i need now is peace.. I just can't stand this anymore.. what i feel right now is so overwhelming.

NANA

Stay with Me

I think the more i am depressed, the more i will post something.. although i have nothing to talk about. well, actually, i'm thinking of changing my major. here we go againnnn... This thought always comes to my mind for more than hundred times since i chose this path.. T^T.

I wish God can answer my doubt directly.. *sigh* need to wait and depend on Him..

I'm bored... =p

Fighter

Oh well.. Again, I am so lazy and "busy" to update my blog. Anyway, after studying for music test for tomorrow, i'm so bored. SO, i try to post some things so that i can start to read and study again.. hmm..
Getting so busy these days because of midterms. Exams are getting harder and papers are piling up. Oh well, i got one research paper for my major class and it's frustrating although i haven't started it yet. *sigh. That paper is pretty important for my graduation. Zzzzzz.... Hope i can get it done during spring break.

Some significant things happened lately. From my previous post, forgive me for that devastated and childish pictures of me. That time i was so depressed and i became a victim of my own mind. Luckily, i had a friend that helped me getting out from my own thought. Thanks :*. So happy that finally God granted my wish; to have a friend that i can share with especially spiritually. And what I am glad about these days is that i can finally cry in front of them. Thanks to ISA retreat. I feel so relieved and i have this sort of accomplishment. I throw my pride away! I don't have to keep things by myself anymore. God is so gracious to me and i am thankful for that. =).

And here is another thought that came across to my mind these past weeks,
I believe, events of my life refine me. Comparing myself to the past, i feel so much better although i'm still far from perfection. God leads me here and He wants me to learn, learn until the day He came. I knew that in the past i was so like Pharisees, judging others and feeling righteous. But here, i know i'm no different from people who kill or steal. I'm the same, in fact, might be worst. Thank God, I learned. I learned that not  Law that grant me eternal life because I can't do the Law perfectly. It is God.

This semester, i can see that reading bible, going to church, or doing righteous things don't show that i can go to heaven. No. It is my relationship to God. That's all that matter. I hope during my studies for 4 years in Biola, can open my eyes of who God is. I just want to know more about Him. That's what i want.

Btw, nobody celebrates April's Fool day. =.=". Sort of relieved but i miss the jokes i had during high school year, tricking friends ;p. BUT, people celebrate Palm's Sunday. Kinda new for me, but I think it's gonna be reminder for me, that Good Friday is coming. Remembrance of Jesus' crucifixion, a Lamb that was slain, to redeem us. Prepare the heart, folks. =)

Have a great weekday! =D
