I just want to praise God!

So last night, I was catching up with a friend who had just came back from a missions trip abroad, and it was getting to be around midnight (when I usually go to bed). I had a deep question that I had wanted to ask her for awhile, so I decided to go ask it. I was expecting a 10 min answer/convo from that, but i think we went till 12:45 or so, haha. So the whole time I'm torn and thinking, " I really need to sleep, cuz the last few nights I've gone to bed at 12 and I'm dead in the morning... buuuut, I really want to hear this and what we're talking about is really encouraging!" So I asked God, "I know I've been really tired in the morning before, but I think this is really worth it to listen to. Please help me tomorrow morning!"

So today, I sat up at 6 am (for no reason) and said, I feel awake already! haha, Praise the Lord! Of course, I was able to stay in bed till 7, but I was able to eat breakfast, catch up on emails, spend some time in God's word, send out a book to a friend at the post office all by 8:30 (worktime)... and all while feeling pretty alive.

Praise the Lord!

Inaugural Post

Hello everyone,

I'm starting up this blog in order to be true to myself. (upcoming little known fact) At the beginning of every academic level in my life, I have always started a journal of sorts. In high school, I put a bunch of lined paper together into a 3 ringed binder and called that my journal. In college, I had xanga and now that I'm going to seminary, I have a blog, haha.

I'm really excited to not only get started at seminary, but to also be able to share this with all of you. There's a bunch of goals in keeping up this blog and they follow as such.

1. I want to give people a glimpse into a life at seminary.
2. I want to give people abreast of the food options in Columbia and of my own evolution in testing/cooking different kinds of foods
3. I want to share God's glory and greatness in all this!

Typical, hackneyed answer for #3, right? Wrong! Lately, the Lord has been impressing upon me the stories of George Muller and of a book called Fresh Wind Fresh Fire. They've been about the importance of prayer, of trusting in the Holy Spirit and putting those two together in trusting in God for our daily provision. So I want to be able to completely trust God in everything down here and I'm looking forward to sharing with you all of the stories to encourage you in trusting in the Lord daily!

I'll elaborate more on God's amazing provision in another post as I don't have the time to do it now, but ultimately, I want this blog to be for God's glory!



Hmm, I can't think of anything else, so I'll just end on this. The name contest goes to Tim Su. I took his idea and modified it slightly, haha. So Tim will be getting a huge lollipop.

Congrats Tim.... and nobody hate on him. I know you all wanted the red star shaped lollipop.
