HELP ME PLEEEASE | | |
| Break! It's finally here. Fun filled month & a half filled with hang out, bowling, parties, snow, LA, & a NEW BED! :D you have NO idea how happy I am for that last one! Congratulations Delbey on graduating!! <3 | | |
| It seemed everyone was back this weekend.. well not EVERYONE, but a good majority of us were. Kirby came back from Davis, Phil came back from SLO, & Happy came back from Santa Cruz (sorry I didn't get to see you :[ ), and of course Chris & I came back, but most of all Ben came back!
So I had the blessing of having dinner with Ben on Friday night while everyone was in fellowship group. He has changed. When I first saw him, the boy was standing straight up, made eye contact with people, slimmed down, and answered very politely. We went to eat & he acted like a gentleman. He told me stories about how it was over there in bootcamp. He told me he learned a lot about teamwork, obedience, and patience. I asked him how the Lord changed him, & he said he's thankful for EVERYTHING and doesn't take anything for granted. It was good to catch up with him & hear that it was the best decision he has ever made. It's good to see that the Lord really changes people for the better & that the roads that we think might be unsteady to us, that He really brings us through it. Talking to Ben about what he's accomplished and what he wants to do, makes me unsteady about me going to college or just out here in San Jose. I feel that I haven't met MY requirements, that I konw I can do better, but I'm not. I feel that I can do just as good at City then I can do here. I feel that I'm wasting my parents' money living in this dang expensive place. But I would also feel bad if I wanted to come home- drop ou from SJ & go to City. I feel that I'm a failure. But then after all of this, I realized that God has a plan for me, I am here for a reason & He is willing me to come here & study, which I am totally thankful for. I have to suck it up & do good. Rely on Him. He will give me strength to do what is in His will..
So here is a before & after picture!
Before at GAN.. . this picture kinda scares me.. .
& after. This Sunday, Ben in his Marine uniform.. not so scary, but he can kill me which does scare me.. .

| I like my Breakfast Burritos from the Student Union. I get them once a week after Rec10 before my Asian American Studies lecture. But NEVER in my time eating these things have this happened...
[[ taken in AAS ]]
Just my luck, HUH?! Ohh Goodness & on a WHITE THERMAL... WHITE. EmMm The Lord really knows how to test me.. :( I shouldn't be mad over the little things, I have so much already that I shouldn't be complaining over spilled milk.. or spilled burrito.
Last night in AACF we wrapped gifts for Operation Christmas Child & stuffed boxes full of little things for unfortunate kids. In Intervarsity, Pri talked about her realization in LA. She talked about how she was working in a homeless shelter and how when she was working there, she looked up & saw a sea of people who were hurting and needed a medicine. She talked about how we are all sick & we need to realize and admit it. We try to consume pain killers but the ultimate healer in Jesus Christ who is our Doctor who cures all. I liked this analogy because it seems that everyone is getting sick... but in on an emotion scale we are all ill of sin & God is the one who is going to take it away forever.
In conclusion, I shouldn't be mad over this little spill, but be thankful that I have a shirt to wear in this COLD San Jose weather! | | |
