I never realize until I learn and study more about God. He is not a god of formula and matrix. Yes, he partially using formula and matrix but He is the God of relationship. Can we put relationship in formula? Relationship with formula is not relationship. How often we put Him in a box and in a sense, treat Him like a Genie or Santa Clause? It's the stupidity of humanity. It's never about formula, it's never about steps, it's all about the wedding to come. It's all about the God who is a lover. LOVER. And He is jealous for His bride. It's crazy. I mean, why would he? He create us not because He was lonely and need companionship. The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit was perfect. From eternity to eternity, they lack nothing. There is no reason for Him to create us but love. Even more so, He send His only Son to die for us. Insanity. We often mention the words, "I love you" too often. Too often until we forget the true meaning behind it. Love is a myste...

"at what cost, justice?" that question was big in my head. at what cost? at what cost? JUSTICE. I was praying last night, about the human trafficking in the nations. We all prayed from Isaiah 42. It was a powerful time, but to be honest, I wasn't fully engaged because I was distracted with some other stuff. And I regret it. "...In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he established justice on earth. In His law the islands will put their hope." I was watching this rockumentary film about human trafficking, when I start ball my eyes out in the movie theater. I mean, I watch movies like that before... you know, like Invisible Child so on and so forth. But this one seems different to me. Not that any other movies doesn't break my heart, it does, but this one is arising somewhat that you called righteous anger. Most of this was taking in the South East Asia, as like Cambodia and Thailand. Some part of India and Euro...

it was just some random events. we were gathering in my room and chatting while I'm uploading all my pictures to Facebook. You know a bunch of us, girls. And when girls gather, what they usually talk? Guys. True that. But a lot of time, we talk about God and His work too. (I am in the Missions College, remember?) well, this one girl was talking about the guy that she met in the market, he's Kenyan. And I was grabbing some apple pie in the fridge and I say, "I met one, and to be honest, he is quiet hot." Nah, wait a minute. I am not a type of girl that will look Kenyan or even more general, African as a cute-being. They're more handsome and manly type. Not cute. Not really, hot. But this one I said is quiet hot. And the conversation roll on. "Oh my! Have you met a Jew?" I never met a Jew in my life, so I just keep on munching my apple pie. And they said that Jews are hot. They were freaking out. They were freaking me out. I don't know, I never persona...

it was almost dark, when everybody starts to come out from their nest. smoking cigar and chatting with buddies in the parking lot. this place is like home to them. a place where they can express them self, be whoever they want to be. do whatever they want to do. only the sky, is the limit. whites, blacks, Chinese, Cambodians, Vietnamese, Africans. Christians, Buddhist, Muslims, Daoist, atheists, whatever-ist. dancers, poets, engineers, doctors, businessman-to-be, artists, actors, directors. everybody shouting the same voice, "I am my future!" the sun keeps going down, the city turn dark. light ball start clicking everywhere. the city turn gold. it is the golden city. full of golden people. with golden mind. then we march down the road. passing that golden mind again and again. they ask, "and then what?" is there any more to life than this? than just this gold? we keep walking. we are hugging the Maker. we have hope. we breathe life. we know. we don't have the go...

It is almost fall. Oh my, times fly by so quick. It's unbelievable. As the new August freshmen enter in, i have been doing tons and tons of work in the kitchen because we are short handed. But it's been great, learning about endurance, and patience. God has been teaching me a lot about that. But I have good news, the new students are here. Yay! I am super excited about them coming in and get to know them as I know my classmates. There are 53 of them and they all are super cool! I love them to pieces... Despise all the hectic and chaotic-ness, I have been enjoying being my own self. I feel I have been come to my own life and enjoying life as I giving thanks to the Lord, each day. I have been talking with some of the new girls (and guys too), and just casting out vision to them. It's been challenging and exciting! I feel like this is how I live my life. Meeting new people, get to know them, share Jesus with them, even they all are Christians. But I just enjoy laughing and bei...

So, finally the August's students left the campus already. So, what's left is us, the 11 of us (not including the mentors) as the Januaries class. It's been a heart wrecking and a pretty emotional days, but we get through it together. But the good news is, us as the Januaries get to hang out A LOT. and it's been really good because we never get a chance to hang out before. Like, ever. I know it sounded weird but that's what happen. So this week, we have been catching up with some things and talks that we probably need to do a long time a go. And this is, for the first time, I feel like there is a hope. For our class. For me. To make a difference in our society. This is for the first time I feel like, we're sharing our burdens and not being selfish and try to work things out together . And it's been a blessings. Because for so long, my heart ache for such relationship like this, being real to each other and really love one another. Now I am fall in love with ...
