Mundane Thoughts

new blog for MESP Fall '11! http://adventuresofjiow.blogspot.com/ so yesterday, i was pretty much drowning in God's love. hahaha God is SO good to me!!! holy crap, i couldn't believe it, God is so good! such good testimony, i will tell you if you ask me. okay, pray for safe travels this semester!

[i google translated the arabic, hahaha, i'm not that good at it YET :P it says "last week"] so last week was birthday week, probably the most low key birthday i've had the past few years...haha, but it was good! daniel 叔叔 and family treated me to japanese cuisine at derek 哥哥 and tracy 姊姊's restaurant, which was delicious! and i got to have fun with the silly kids, i have pictures, but i'm lazy to upload now, it'll be on fb before i leave anyways...other than that, there really was no "birthday celebration" which is perfectly fine with me, because we never really do anything anyways, so i liked it. i've been working at the restaurant and it's SO tiring! but i remember why i liked working there so much before...working with the servers are so much fun, they're all around my age, they're all very chill, and it's just fun to be with them. i miss the old servers a lot though, but these new ones are just as fun! but i pray that...

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. i once heard a sermon that asked if we could swap out "love" with our names...so could my list actually say "Jocelyn is patient, Jocelyn is kind and is not jealous..."? haha, i pray that i will one day be able to substitute love with my name, wouldn't that be something? friday was my last day teaching kids, since they finished their workbooks on thursday, i just made rice krispie treats with them, it was my first time, and it didn't turn out right, but it was still good and they had fun. AND anna let me hold her for a very long time without crying, i managed to take a few pictures of her laughing...
