Days of Our Life

My plant test got postponed so I took an earlier flight and came back a day early. Got home, looked around and called my beloved XY. 

Me: "Why are the dishes in the dishwasher dirty? I loaded them before I left."

XY: "You didn't tell me to wash them! Plus, you are not supposed to come back till tomorrow! Why did you come back early?" 

Me: "... ... ..."

Just watch, my child, just watch

I told the Lord when I left my job back in February, "Lord, I don't really want a career right now, I am tired, can I take a break and just work as a barista for a while and You go and take care of the financial burden for us in a miraculous way?"

Due to my pessimistic attitude about going back to work/having a career, I did not put much effort into my job search. I sent out my résumé to 2 companies without putting any effort into following up with them and was being very picky about what job I wanted to apply to.

Eleven days later, He said, "Here you go, my answer to your request"

He gave me a job, a much easier and less stressful job that I like, with option for growth if I shall desire, and of course, a wonderful compensation. He answered our prayer in a miraculous and loving way and gave us more than what we have asked for.

Of course, whinny me started again, "Lord, I love my morning BSF, why did You give me a job that I cannot attend the morning BSF? I am gonna quit on You after this year cause I don't think I can do this anymore." Part of me was still lamenting over not being able to get my BSF notes in Chinese and unwilling to go back to night class if there is no incentive for it.

Once again, He said, "Here you go, my whinny child"

My BSF group leader called to introduce herself, she's about my age, from Taiwan and they have placed me in a hybrid group!! Ha!! God, You make me speechless. You know I have been worrying about finding a home church, meeting other sister in Christ in this town that I can trust and grow together, and You have just killed 2 birds with 1 stone.

Be careful what you wish for for He is good and faithful. :)

Philippians 4:19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.

Psalm 121:1-2  I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Mrs.

It's over! The wedding. Finally!!

Next step - quit my job, move, find a new job.

Thank God that everything went well with the wedding and everyone had fun.

Thank God that He gave me my PR 6 months ago so now I can do whatever job I want!!

I have always wondered, what is the path that He had set before me? He gave me the gift of language and gift of social, so what does He wants me to do with it?

XY thinks I hate socializing but after much discussion, I realized that I don't hate socializing but I hate purposeless socialization.

Keep praying. All will be well for He is with me, as always. =)

2012 - I thank God for Bitter Things

The start was a bit rough but the good thing is, it can only get better. Thanks, Rog. :)

"I thank God for bitter things; they've been a "friend of grace";
They've driven me from paths of ease to storm the secret place.

I thank Him for the friends who failed to fill my heart's deep need;
They've driven me to the Savior's feet, upon His love to feed.

I'm grateful too, through all life's way no one could satisfy,
And so I've found in God alone my rich, my full supply!"

-- From BBN's author, got the newsletter today and love this poem!


I will not be afraid of the challenges ahead cause, He is with me & most importantly, He loves me!
愛裏沒有懼怕；愛既完全，就把懼怕除去。因為懼怕裏含著刑罰，懼怕的人在愛裏未得完全。 (約翰一書 4:18 CUNP)

Happy New Year, y'all! <-- greetings from Texas!

Favorite verse of mine.
Note to self: In 2012, meditate on these verses when you are burdened and worried.

凡事都有定期，
天下萬務都有定時。
生有時，死有時；
栽種有時，拔出所栽種的也有時；
殺戮有時，醫治有時；
拆毀有時，建造有時；
哭有時，笑有時；
哀慟有時，跳舞有時；
拋擲石頭有時，堆聚石頭有時；
懷抱有時，不懷抱有時；
尋找有時，失落有時；
保守有時，捨棄有時；
撕裂有時，縫補有時；
靜默有時，言語有時； (傳道書 3:1-7 CUNP)
