happy new year errebody

Wow...time FLIES when you're having fun! I can't believe we only have one more week left until school. I hope all of you are had a jolly time w/ fam and friends on this wonderful new years eve.

This break, I've just been swamped with things to do...planning bbq for gma, x'mas party w/ friends...trips and reunions! I dont know about you guys, but spiritual discipline is so much easier said than done! I hope that we can all push through this week and continue to be productive and focused on God :)

It's been a blessing to take my gma and cousin to church these past 3 sundays. But I was talking to my gma...and she admitted that after all these years of litsening to sermons and going to church, it hasn't really affected her much (i can't really put it well b/c she said it in chinese)...and that she basically hopes that her going to church w/ jason will help him be a good christian (whatever she means by that). So............after hearing that I just feel really confused and scared for her salvation (and also responsible some or all of that). But obviously, it's God's will, not mine! So I hope you guys can pray for her heart...that she will receive God's gift of grace (and realize how awesome it is not to have to work for anything or feel guilty that she hasn't applied stuff that she heard from sermons)

I want to share one of my favorite verses w/ you guys! It's said over and over again I know, but it puts perspective on all the things we stress out with during this holiday season.

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well..." Matthew 6:25-34


Prayer requests: being a good granddaughter at home and being a good friend (and testimony) to my unbelieving friends.

Miss y'all :)
