words

so i've been meaning to write in this for a while and i have a lot to say. but i always just feel kinda lazy/don't have time so i don't. and for my poetry class i have to journal a full page everyday so yeah.
but a few quickies:
1-sundays have now become one of my favorite days of the week and i love that! it's one of the few days i get to really relax and i think the reason why i love it so much is because i'm so busy on thurs-sat that i feel so restored by God, it's amazing and so much grace from him =) there is nothing like being refreshed by God to take on another week so I'm glad I don't really have too many responsibilities on Sunday. church has been amazing. i think inside i've changed a bit. my thinking maybe. but last year i was kind of always thinking, maybe i should try church hopping a bit since i had only been to two churches in the beginning. and my parents aren't really for it which i can see why because consistency is a necessary thing in one's spiritual life to help grow. but this year, after the second service, i really fell in love with my church. despite feeling somewhat outcasted at times when i'm the only undergrad there, the message truly speak to my heart, as opposed to last year when i was fidgety and sometimes felt the lesson was so simple and didn't get much out of it. but there are just so many fundamentals i need to refresh, is what i learned this summer, almost like a re-experiencing of God and i LOVE it!

2-so this week God spoke to me and wants me to find a way to bless someone every day. something little but someone who really needs it. i'm going to have to continually pray to Him to open my eyes to the need because people are tired and hurting everywhere but sometimes in our quick and busy lives it's easy to miss. it's like the song my brother really loves, give me your eyes. check it out on youtube, i forgot who it's by tho...haha.

3-so God has been teaching me about His glory recently. and this sunday, my pastor preached about how we are to be like moons that reflect Him and point to Him. so i wrote a poem. it's actually for my poetry class but i thought it would be an interesting topic ^_^
see above
its unpolished but i'm gnna hand it in this way cuz i'm lazy. my teacher is soon going to discover that three lovers of God have inflitrated his class once he reads our journals and in my case, poetry. i think God has been speaking to me about spreading his love in teh English department. but more on that if i feel like writing =)

peace.

one thing: asian phenomena #1-whenever you walk outside and pass someone in walking in the opposite direction: if they are asian and you're asian, they will look at you for a while thinking "Why dont I know you" it's awkward. one of the parts about being asian that i don't love, that cliqueishness. don't throw rocks at me. i love being asian. a lot. just some things....
