1 Corinthians 13

-
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 too. yay! so gonna work as manager this coming week, then going to cali with 二姨媽 on sunday and will be back tuesday! i'm excited cause i get to go to the dentist and the optometrist! i've always liked getting my eyes and teeth checked, hahaha...then don't have much time before i have to go...i'm getting nervous, haha, but i'm also excited. my ticket's changed after a penalty fee, but thank God it's settled. okay i must bed, i haven't been getting enough sleep...

Personal and Communal

my worship team had to lead calvin's chapel and LOFT (sunday service) all week last week...so i was hecka busy and there was almost no breathing time. but PTL! because homework was light, hahaha. anyways, so then i had to be at all the chapels (even though, i technically should go anyways :P) but it made me love calvin's chapel and loft! i went to VERY few of the services last year, so i wasn't too interested, but being sorta "required" to go, i really enjoyed each time. sunday after LOFT i was SO hyper that i was sitting at my desk flipping out, i kept telling everyone how hyper i was and everyone just thought i was crazy...i had so much extra energy with nothing to do. ANYWAYS, the point is: our relationship with Christ is both personal and communal. last year, God was kept reminding me the importance of a personal relationship with Him, and last year i learned to push myself to move forward...so like no more parents/brother reminding me to do what i'm suppo...

Lovey Dovey

this post is gonna deal a lot with 戀愛, haha, don't blame me, it's just what's been going on lately. because there's quite a lot, i'll try to condense it as much as possible. i'm also just jotting these down for my sake, because they work as a good reminder for myself, so don't feel obligated to read it. ha. 1) the things one does for the other this is coming from watching a lot of friends and the study of Exodus. so in Friends, Ross pretty much does ANYTHING for Rachel, he skips his dinosaur thingy for her, he does this and that for her, he's always sacrificing his own things for her. But Rachel never realizes. of course, being a TV show, she does eventually find out the stuff he does for her and goes awww. but anyways, it's just that, the receiving end never really knows what's going on in the sacrificing end, and kind of just takes everything for granted because...well, you're getting your way. anyways, i saw this in the study of Exodus too...

God Is So Good!

"尋求耶和華的甚麼好處都不缺。" 詩篇34：10b "God is so good, God is so good, God is so good, He's so good to me!" Man, this song perfectly captures my thoughts. God is SO good to me!!! 祢太愛我了。My ticket to Israel and Egypt was bought yesterday, and i've been trying to get a ticket for the longest time, but time just never seemed to be good enough, and when i finally settled down on one, my program's itinerary was changed...i was like RAWR! So i sent the updated itinerary to my agent, and PTL! I'm on the exact flight as the group, except I'll be flying from Phoenix and back!!! I'm so thankful, God knew before that the group flight would be changed, so no ticket was prepared for me, but now everything works out! 哇，太奇妙了。NEXT, I've been researching netbooks because I don't wanna bring my apple abroad, and netbooks are just easier...and I researched before I told my mom I was gonna buy one, cause then it'd be easier to convince her. So I also prayed befor...
