More than Enough

It's March, folks! I think my last post is one month ago. I know.. I'm so lazy to update nowadays. Anyway, one month has passed! How's your February? =). I think i had a really great time studying here. This semester is really different than the last. Although this semester is way too arduous, I can see how God works in my life. Taking 18 credits (full credits) is not easy. I will not get through this one month if not God is the one that help me. His grace is just more than enough. =)

Anyway, i just finished my week of exams. This week is extremely busy to me. Three exams, four papers. I will have two exam again next week and 3 papers? *sigh* I just don't have enough time to rest for a while. Everything is in rush. =|. But I'm glad that God is there for me. I don't know what will happen if I don't surrender everything in Him. Maybe i will get kicked out? Failed? Terrible.. =.="

Well, i'm still thankful though that i can rest for a while =DDD. so happpyy! Wait a second. I got some tips  on how to enjoy your studies!
1. Studying = glorifying God
You are using your mind to think. That means you have done God's purpose to create you! Try encourage yourself that it can bring joy to Daddy's heart.
2. Studying doesn't mean you must achieve A
Well, try to enjoy your studies by not striving to have an excellent grade. Come on.. If you got an A, but in the end you don't learn anything, what's the point? studying means learning things that bring benefit into your life! It's important for your future. It is not about getting an A. Try your best to do everything. BUT it does not mean that you can sit back and slack off. Remember that studying is glorifying God. Slacking off means you are not doing what God wants you to do. Oops.. too long for this NEXT!
3. You can do it because God gives you the wisdom
Remember that whenever you understand and do well on the test, it is God's grace! Ask God when you have trouble understanding. God will help you. Trust Him. ;)

The last thing i can say is that don't forget to thank God that you can study. Notice that studying is a grace, too. There are many people who don't have the chance to do what you do. So, don't take it for granted. enjoy while it lasts! =D.

Those tips are from my experiences anyway.. Hope it helps =).

Maccabees

Holaaa... random post random time. I'm back here.. Again.. =.=". Classes started one week again and today is my second week. One week seems like a year to me. As i landed here, i wanted to go home. Well, i guess i can't get over it. Lol. I just love to be where my family are. I think everyone desires that! Well, anyway, it is only for 4 months. I just need to be patient.

Here is the brief summary about the classes. I want to share a lil bit what is it look like to have classes in BIOLA. ;). I just LoooooOOOOVveeee love love love them so much. I took:
1. Foundations of Christian Thought
2. Intro to New Testament
3. Child Development
4. Biology - Lecture
5. Biology - Lab.
6. Music Appreciation
7. Tennis
The first three classes should be the hardest. They are going to be big OBSTACLE to me this spring. But, they all are interesting! Fun, but not easy. One interesting fact i found recently is in my title. There is an additional book besides Old Testament and that's the name! =DDD. It is soo intriguing.
Well, i really need to work hard and at the same time have fun! ;)

This past week, i read this verse several time, coincidentally..
John 14: 27
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.


I was really frustrated these days.. not only because of assignments, but also because of my struggling, friends, and my health. I just can't feel peace at all. I really need someone whom i can talk to here. So hard to tell anybody. Therefore, this verse helped a lot, and i thank God for comforting me with it. 


Have a great day ahead, folks! =)

Officially 1 week

Howday! Time to post something today. Honestly, i'm kinda lazy to do it =.=', but i am so bored. Medan. You know why. I arrived here 2 weeks ago. I was so happy to meet everyone! =DD. I missed them so much and now i got to see them. furthermore, i can see my rabbits.. They are so lovely. My Kuro has babies again and they all are so cute. i always spend time with those kits and i can stop by and see them for more than half an hour. I treated them like my child now. =D. I'm going to upload their photos later. not now.

So, Chinese New Year is coming. Im so so so so excited. Going to meet everyone and of course..hihihihi... you know what i mean. I have bought 3 dresses for this time and i think it is enough. Although i want to buy more, but you know.. i'm getting fat. So, I will buy more when i am slimmer. *ehem*. i spend my holiday doing yoga and jogging. I try to control myself to eat what is healthy as my resolution for this year is having a healthy life. =D. Hope i can accomplish it.

Anyway, i'm going home next week. Half excited and half sad, but i know i am going there only for study. four months only. With God who will always there for me, i fear not. I'm going to survive! I'm going to bear and endure this! Go Go GOOOOOO!

I think that's all. =D. Sayonara..
Have a wonderful Chinese New Year, guyS!! Gong xi Gong Xiii ;D

Easy to Say, Hard to Change

Hi guys, holiday is going to end soon. I am so sad.. :(. Anyway, i'm glad that i can spend 3 weeks holiday with my family. lalalala~ So, how are you guys doing? Happy New Year anyway! =DD

Lately, I was so sad because i still see myself as a child. I never grow up. When i saw my friends' picture, they are all growing up. Me? I'm still a baby. :(. It is so hard to be mature. To dress elegantly, walk gracefully, eat slowly, stop laughing loudly... *sigh. everything's so complicated. that is so not me, but i should change...

what should i doooo???? :"(

Anyway, few photos from me.. finish my road trip finally.. =DDD.  So, this is just a few photos from me.. gotta upload them later.. =DD

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
