Happy Easter! Today is a really important day. It’s a reminder that we can die of our old selves and have a new life when we rise with Christ!
It’s 72 degrees here and I couldn’t ask for a more perfect day. I went to a store with my friend CJ and everything in the store was $1. Everything. We felt so rich walking in there and bought just about everything we saw. They had bibles for $1 too and they were nice. I bought 5 just because I’m going to Vietnam here in a month and I’m going to give them out to my cousins. Cleaned the house, did the dishes, I’ve got to say, today was a really productive day!!!
I read Romans 8:28 and it made me realize, if we were truly ready to meet each other, we would have by now. God doesn’t hold anything back from us unless we weren’t ready. It’s really up to us. So in our season of singleness, we should start practicing a marriage-minded mentality. We need to show that we are ready. =)
Well, I hope you had an amazing day and received some awesome revelation knowledge. Keep praying for me. I trust in the Lord that our paths will cross soon! Stay steadfast and enjoy this season of singleness! I LOVE YOU!

At our wedding, I want to show all of our family not only how in love with each other we are, but how in love with Christ we are. I want to make Him the center of our wedding rather than us.
I want us to be an example to other couples of how being grounded in Christ leads to a successful…
I hope you are doing well. I haven’t been trying my hardest. I just pray that you stay steadfast. That you stay grounded. I pray while I’m not doing my best, you will continue to trust in the Lord. I have to remember that you are out there. Sometimes, I’m afraid to believe you are out there. Sometimes I feel afraid to ask for someone as perfect as you, because it’s hard to imagine why someone as perfect like you, would want to be with someone like me. I believe though, God will work it out. It’s hard to believe that you are out there. How you are one person. The one person that was made for me. You’re out there. The world is big. But God is bigger. He will fulfill his promise. I will always keep you in my heart. I promise I will not give anymore of my heart away, so you will have the fullness of it. I will always have you there. I love you.

That is what I am seriously feeling right now.
If stressed was a person, I would douse it with gasoline, light it on fire, and then repent. Lol. I just need to cast my cares and stress on to God. It’s weird sometimes. I feel like I want someone to talk to. It’s not like I’m a super loser or anything, but sometimes just talking to a random stranger. I think it’s not that I don’t like my friends or anything. I think it’s just that I want to talk to you and just share everything with you. But it’s only reserved for you so I can’t share this with anyone else… well. I told myself I didn’t want to do this. Being a drama filled 16 year old girl. Well, hey, I am so excited for the day we meet. I hope I have good hair that day. =)
Love you,
Me
Forgive me, forever in your love I abide
I carry my weakness, while You set them aside
You were our blueprint
And Your breath brought us life
From mere dust was our body
Your hands forged our spine
While we had everything we needed
and ate from the Tree of Life
We still wanted the apple
And You gave us that right
He stole Your creation
Like a thief in the night
But You gaves us Your only
To redeem all mankind
Our lives are not ours
My life is not mine
God’s Son was OUR payment
His blood was OUR price
So if you ever think you’re not loved
Remember Jesus loved you enough to give up His own life
Because this is not based on a true story
But the truest example of love of all time
I honestly can say, I just had the best morning ever! =) I was a bit anxious all week because my 8-week Public Speaking class just started and I knew I was going to step into something new, out of my daily pattern. As soon as class starts, I’m looking around and I noticed how we have almost every demographic in our classroom. We have the cheerleader looking type who still wears her cheer jacket from high school, the college football player who doesn’t really fit the label, middle-aged mother with a couple kids who wants to finish that chapter in her life she left off, the token Asian kid who defies the stereotype that all Asians are super studious and gets phenomenal grades(me), and we even have a crippled student. It seriously is shaping out to look like an episode of Glee. =)
Our teacher is this young teacher and you can tell when a teacher isn’t looking forward to spending the next couple of months with new students. Students who probably only took her class to get an easy A. But she’s not one of those teachers. She was already trying to get to know everyone, and was trying to involve every person in participation. My heart sank and skipped a beat when she had us do this one thing. I think just about everyone can agree with me on this but the worst thing to ever happen on the first day of class is when the teacher takes attendance and makes everyone tell something about themselves.
I think it’s the anticipation and the suspense building up leading up to when it gets to your turn. My last name starts with an L, so that put me in the middle of the class roster. That gave me enough time to think. ‘What can I possibly say to impress my students in 15 seconds.’ I was seriously rehearsing in my head as the first half of the students were giving their biography. I was thinking should I do the funny approach and say I’m majoring in competitive knitting, or do I try to win them over by mentioning I have a cute rabbit. Before I knew it, she says my name. “My name is Mike, I’m 21, I like movies…” -_- Wow, the most common and overdone description of themselves. ‘I like movies.’ Haha.
Other than that though, it was actually my favorite first day of class ever, only because I realized that the people in there were just as nervous as I was. We did a speed socializing activity and this girl I got paired up with said she was really active in her church community and tonight they’re doing this ‘eat-and-greet’ thing, so I asked her for the address and I’m definitely going tonight!
A lot has happened this morning and it’s only the afternoon. I’m excited to see where rest of the day is going to lead to.
Well, I’m hoping you stay patient and just keep relying on God for all your needs. I hope you are seeing each day as an opportunity to find out more about the Lord and realize that this is your season of singleness, so appreciate all that you can until our lives intersect. Praise God for that day. I love you.
Patiently seeking you,
Me
This isn’t a letter to my wife, but it’s just a floating thought I’ve come to.
Don’t rush into anything. Wait till the right one comes along. It’s better to have no girlfriend than the wrong girlfriend.
I read this quote from an article about a dad giving his son advice. I believe people are initially empty. We have a yearning to be filled with something. Sometimes we fill it with something good. Sometimes we fill it with some things harmful.
I believe everybody is supposed to be filled with Love.
Because of our lack of love, we rely on others for love. Once their love isn’t enough, we move on to the next source of love and this leads to a long chain of failed relationships. Nothing can replace true love. And that true love is God. Until I fully succumb to God, I will never be able to give enough love to anybody from my limited resources. I need God’s love. His vast, endless, unlimited, and sufficient love. I’m coming to realize this and it’s an obvious wake-up call.
I’m not ready to meet my wife.
