Psalm 13

1 How long, LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?

2 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts
and day after day have sorrow in my heart?
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

3 Look on me and answer, LORD my God.
Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

4 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”
and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

5 But I trust in your unfailing love;
my heart rejoices in your salvation.
6 I will sing the LORD’s praise,
for he has been good to me.

Rocking the Woods out of Rockwood!

My lovely Jen and Kayla and I went back to Camp Brebeuf to visit our friends/ family away from home yesterday. It was a lot of funn and crazy laughs like before. It was such a refreshing time because even though we haven't spoken to or had much contact with everyone, we were able to pick up where we left off from last year. It was just so natural being with everyone again.

It almost felt like I didn't leave the camp at all because it was all so familiar. I was sooo excited to be back there, even for only a little bit. We went to Curwins Pub after dinner. Lol it was 7pm when we got there. We are such rebels >=) Curwins is nice. It's so clean and quiet. The seven of us pretty much ran the place last night lol.

It was a lot of funn too because two random guys walked in with their guitars and asked if anyone played. One of my co-workers played so they just started jamming. It was just so cool and they played pretty well. Some of the songs they sang were pretty funny too so we all had a good laugh.

I never knew how much I missed camp and the people until I went back to see them. I love you all very very much =)

Outreach

MW and I were in DC cafe the past Thursday looking for people to talk to about Jesus Christ. We bought some food so we can sit down with whoever and chat with them while eating. A girl came and was about to sit down behind us but we asked her to come over and sit with us. She said sure with a smile on her face and came over.

We had a pretty good conversation to start and talked about random things about school. I think we both started to get nervous because we weren't getting to the Gospel. And also because we never got to the point with the guy we were talking to right before.

JL walked by and stopped by our table. He was wearing that black sweater with a short reference to a Bible verse (1 Cor 9:24) Lol so we awkwardly brought it up by asking JL (it was actually MW who pointed it out, I just refuse to believe that I'm awkward [sometimes]) Lol.

Anyways we finally got to Jesus. She said she was an atheist but she has a habit of reading random articles about religion. She was quite open to what we had to say and asked us some personal questions about our faith and our experience of God. We shared our testimonies and the first time we were encountered by God. After I finished my testimony, she smiled with her mouth open almost like she was in amazement. I have no idea what was actually going on in her head but I knew what was in mine.

After we left I started thinking about the time when I first met God and knew that He is real. Yes the purpose of that incident was for me to know that God really do exist. But who knew?! Who knew that almost 10 years later that the purpose of that specific incident was for that girl to hear! Who knew!?!? God has some pretty crazy planning going on hahaha =D

reminiscence

For some reason, today feels like one of those days in 1B... March-ish. The temperature, the colour of the sky, the sun, the ice-cream... they all make me want to go for an aimless walk. I sort of know where I want to go, but it's just too far hahaha. So I left class early to sit outside slc and ate ice-cream for a bit then went home. Haha! I can't believe that the first time I did that was TWO YEARS AGO!

Old Chats

I searched "position paper" in my email account trying to see if I saved a copy of my (very last minute) assignment there already. Surprisingly, a very old gchat conversation came back and it had nothing to do with position papers ==" I briefly read through it and found an interesting quote my friend shared with me:

"God does not search around to find you a mate that's compatable, more than likely he's going to search around and find you a mate that's totally incompatible with you. Why? He's going to give you a mate that's strong in all the areas where they must be strong so that you may not be tempted beyond what you can bear. But he's also going to give you a mate who fails in some of the areas where you most do not want them to fail so that you become like Jesus. And what does that mean? It's so that you learn to love someone unconditionally who doesn't meet the conditions."

Kind of an interesting quote... I think this means that my husband will be a fat short man who can't stand me. bwahahaa... I'm kidding... though I hope not =="
