“Christian contentment is the direct fruit of having no higher ambition than to belong to the Lord and to be totally at his disposal in the place He appoints, at the time He chooses, with the provision He is pleased to make.”

Last GCC Sunday service until September…

This is so surreal.

I’m really going to miss going to GCC for Sunday service… it’s impossible to describe how important this community is to my walk with Christ. To think that I won’t be with these brothers and sisters until the fall is almost depressing.

And I really want to go to AMI Revolution but plane tickets are so expensive…

Ahhhhh.

So much sadness right now. Better get working on my Econ final.

“The dish often incorporates modern ingredients such as instant ramen noodles and sliced American cheese. Other ingredients may include ground beef, sliced sausages, baked beans, dropwort, onions, green onions, tteok, tofu, chili peppers, macaroni, garlic, mushrooms and other vegetables in season.”

My last night with Organic Chemistry.

I took a study break from Organic Chemistry and read Proverbs 3. I came upon one of my favorite verses (but I had somehow managed to forget this verse especially during this week):

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight” -Proverbs 3:5-6

Right now I’m a bundle of mixed emotions; excited to finally be done with Organic Chemistry tomorrow, anxious about the final, worried that I’ll forget everything I’ve studied when I receive the exam, terrified thinking about how my overall grade will turn out…

But what I really want and need right now is PEACE. 
I need the peace of knowing that I’ve done all I could to prepare for this exam.
I need peace when I walk into the room and take the exam.
I need peace when I leave the room after the exam is over instead of anxiety of how poorly I might have done…

And He is telling me that that peace can only come from trusting Him.

Lord Father, I know that in the grand scheme of things, this exam is a very little concern, since there are much bigger problems in this world than just this final. I feel really selfish asking for Your help, but thank You that you care anyway (: Give me a heart that trusts in You and You alone, and not in my own ability or efforts. I have done all I can to prepare for this exam…so help me to give this up to YOU.  Amen.


Tomorrow, regardless of how well or poorly I do, I will be done with Organic Chemistry. Praise the Lord.

A sweet lesson on patience. A NYC Taxi driver wrote:I arrived at the address and honked the horn. After waiting a few minutes I honked again. Since this was going to be my last ride of my shift I thought about just driving away, but instead I put the car in park and walked up to the door and knocked.. ‘Just a minute’, answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 90’s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940’s movie.By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets.There were no clocks on the walls, no knickknacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboardbox filled with photos and glassware.‘Would you carry my bag out to the car?’ she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman.She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the curb.She kept thanking me for my kindness. ‘It’s nothing’, I told her.. ‘I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother to be treated.’‘Oh, you’re such a good boy, she said. When we got in the cab, she gave me an address and then asked, ‘Could you drivethrough downtown?’‘It’s not the shortest way,’ I answered quickly..‘Oh, I don’t mind,’ she said. ‘I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice.I looked in the rear-view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. ‘I don’t have any family left,’ she continued in a soft voice..’The doctor says I don’t have very long.’ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter.‘What route would you like me to take?’ I asked.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator.We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she’d ask me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon, she suddenly said, ‘I’m tired.Let’s go now’.We drove in silence to the address she had given me. It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico.Two orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. They were solicitous and intent, watching her every move.They must have been expecting her.I opened the trunk and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair.‘How much do I owe you?’ She asked, reaching into her purse.‘Nothing,’ I said‘You have to make a living,’ she answered.‘There are other passengers,’ I responded.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.She held onto me tightly.‘You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,’ she said. ‘Thank you.’I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light.. Behind me, a door shut.It was the sound of the closing of a life..I didn’t pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day,I could hardly talk.What if that woman had gotten an angry driver,or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run, or had honked once, then driven away?On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life.We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments.But great moments often catch us unaware-beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.


Beautiful.

Prayer Request.

Someone please pray that I will have more motivation to study this week. I feel like I’m burning out but I want to finish the year strong. Gahhhh.

Deuteronomy 5:32-40

v. 35: “You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; besides him there is no other.”

v. 37: “Because he loved your forefathers and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength…”

v. 39: “Acknowledge and take to hear this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.”

“Power” by B.A.P.

I thought “Warrior” was epic, but this takes “epic” to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
