God is good. All the time.

Lying in bed for the second day in a row gives me time to reflect on this week. Jgen 2009: I am thankful, humbled, in awe, excited, and too many other emotions all at once. More than anything this week, I had to keep checking my heart. God is teaching me to fight the sin in my heart every single waking moment. I have these two stickers by my webcam and i can't help but crack up every time i read them. "don't cry" and "fighting!" Yes, these are straight from the motherland and I can totally associate them with myself. they help me get through my debbie downer days.

God is working. He has been working. He keeps on working and never stops. Why? Cuz he wants my messed up heart to keep coming back to him. There were so many highs and lows this week but all in all, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and to learn. What is even more encouraging is having other brothers and sisters to fight with who keep pushing me. It's crasssy what 4 days together can do. I feel like i know all these ppl inside out now. keep serving guys.

please pray i recover from this illness of mine by monday. i want to go to nyc. last hoorah of the summer and time to pack and be on my merry way. i will miss home dearly but i am excited to see what's in store this semester! Sooo excited to see my class ppl serve! muahaha

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him.

Take my hands and make them clean
Keep my heart in purity
That I may walk in all You have for me

Oh here I stand
Arms open wide
Oh I am Yours
And You are mine


God is good. All the time.


Journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee returned home!!
I am in shock but pretty much super glad knowing that God is always good and I never gave up hope that Laura and Euna would come home soon. When I heard they were sentenced to 12 years in labor camp, I was devastated but had this inkling that this would not follow-through and once again, God shows his power. Pray big prayers!

God is good. All the time.
