Mundane Thoughts

My last post was from 2016! So I was almost gonna abandon this blog, because I haven't posted in so long and (mainly) because I still have all my college blog posts on this that are slightly embarrassing. As I started a new blog on wordpress, I realized I was too lazy to learn a whole new platform. When it comes down to it, blogger is so much simpler. Anyways... Today was MDO Tuesday, which is probably my favorite day in the week - I get 5 hours to myself! Introvert heaven. Usually on MDO days, I procrastinate on devotions, because I keep thinking to myself that I have so much time, then I end up having no time. Today, especially, I had so many things on my to-do list, I really wanted to post-pone Bible reading again. So as I was doing the mundane tasks of housework, I kept praying to God to give me the desire to dive into His Word. I had to   pray for a desire because the truth was, there wasn't a desire. I wanted to do housework more than to read the Bible. I wanted to hav

I have been praying for a mentor for over a year now. My mother has always played the role of a mentor in my life, but I've never had anyone "officially". When we came to MBBC, I continued praying for God to bring a mentor into my life. I thought it might be easier if I just signed up for something at church, but at the same time, I wanted something more personal. It wasn't until about two months ago, I finally took up the courage to approach Pastor Josh and ask him if Andrea would be available to mentor me. He immediately agreed that it would be a good idea and that he would ask her. I didn't hear from anyone for a while, I started to lose hope that this would work out, but I decided to ask her myself. We met today for lunch and got to know each other better. Grant it, we only scratched the surface of each other, but I'm really excited for this blooming relationship! I was really nervous and excited, but I truly believe this will be helpful in my walk wit

I really should be sleeping. We've gotta be at church at 8am tomorrow, which means we're gonna leave the house at 7, which means I've gotta wake at 6, which everyone knows is death for me. However, if I don't blog about this now, I never will. As cheesy and obvious as it is, the statement "Jesus is all you need" is the most true statement, ever. I just had a less than 10minute conversation with a friend from HS. We weren't particularly close in high school, well, that's not true. We were close in school, but we both had friends outside of school that were our "best friends". Last year, she was in Dallas for a conference, we met up and she shared with me that she has quite her high-paying lawyer job to be a missionary. I was shocked. She was the last person I would have imagined to be a missionary, but God's call came, and she obeyed. She became a missionary to a country in the Middle East, and has just returned recently. We sent a few me

This is Alex. Enoch and I have known Alex for about a year. Alex came to America from China to learn english, hoping to get into UTA. We got to know him when we were doing college ministry at ACBC; he was probably one of the first ones we met. I remember thinking he's very 呆, when I first met him, because...he contacted us one day telling us he had no where to stay, cause he didn't read his lease, and didn't know it had ended...Enoch made many, many calls that day to find him a dorm. Every time we took him somewhere or helped him, we would share the gospel with him, but it always seemed to fly over his head. After we switched churches, we didn't really keep in touch with him, and it wasn't until last week that he texted us to have dinner. He said he would be returning to China within a week, so he wanted to say bye to his friends. We had dinner on Wednesday night, and talked for 3 hours. This past year and a half, he had been attending ISI faithfully, and

April 16: Bible and Moral Issues Research Paper Due April 23: Royal Conservatory of Music Exam April 25: Christian Apologetics Research Paper Due April 26: Bible and Moral Issues Final Exam April 27: Teens and Life Issues Paper Due MAY 6: GRADUATION!!! I used to do this every semester in college, I think it helped me see what I have done and what I still have to do. I'm subconsciously very stressed out, or at least my body is telling me that, but my brain isn't. I have actually been working ahead in my assignments (Enoch Chan is such a good influence on me), but I still feel like I'm not doing enough. Plus, with two part time jobs, time is really scarce. It's really weird, but I have been a student for so long, I keep trying to imagine what life is like after summer. I mean, with the two jobs, I will be perfectly busy, but it's still so weird to think that I won't be a student. No, I will not continue on to PhD. Anyways, must finish well, the last part o

I forgot how good song this is! Recently played my "Hillsong" playlist, and seeing that I haven't updated it since college, all the songs just brought me back to those days at Calvin when I was studying or spending time with God. It also reminded me of Verve, those were always the "best Fridays" hahaha. Okay, enough nostalgia for one day.
