Word.

I had a conversation with a good friend a few days ago and we came across our 'favorite' everythings. Favorite food, movie, day, weather, etc. We stumbled across the topic of our favorite bible verse and our favorite word. Surprisingly, our favorite bible verse was easy to say. But our favorite word wasn't. As I laid in my cozy bed with my laptop on my chest, I thought about MY favorite word. As I shifted around in my blanket to adjust my pillow level, it suddenly hit me that so many times people degrade the true meaning and symbolism of words. Like when we say LOVE. Do we REALLY love it?? Or do we say 'love' in place of 'like' but a little more than 'like'? And then I thought, 'Dang, I wish there was a perfect word to describe God'. And I realized it was utterly impossible, because...i mean...how DARE i compare the Lord of the great heavens to....a WORD? It's almost blasphemous. And then I realized that a word that perfectly describes God would be good AND bad. Good, in the sense that I'd be satisfied in knowing it and bad because..it just would be bad.

Rediscover You- Starfield

You told me
Look for You and I will find
So I'm here
Like I'm searching for the first time
Revive me, Jesus
Make this cold heart start to move
Help me rediscover You

I want to learn to pray
The way that David prayed
I want my soul to burn when I hear Your name
I want to feel like new
I want to hunger for you
Bring me back to life like only You can do
Cause I don't want to stay the same

Lord, I want to be Yours today
I want to know the passion of the saints
And how they were changed

I want to burn for You
Bring me back to life, Jesus
Help me rediscover You

Beautiful.

As I'm looking outside the geisel window from the 5th floor, I can't help but to look at all the beautiful trees, plants, flowers, people, colors, etc. I'm so glad the weather is finally getting warmer! Spring's my favorite season because it's so warm and I feel like there's LOVE all around. Everything looks so lovely, and it's that perfect weather not too cold not too hot. just perfect. I wish it was spring all throughout the year! I don't know why but I've been feeling so giddy and happy and so satisfied with everything these days. I think it's because I'm spending more time with Daddy in heaven :) My relationship with God always gives me a reason to love and be thankful. So, thank you dad, for this beautiful weather. beautiful friends. beautiful skies. beautiful trees. Beautiful Life.

Passion Week

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." - Albert Einstein

When I look at trees during the winter, I get so depressed because they remind me of skinny, bony little things shivering out in the cold air and rain. :( But when comes spring, I think trees are the most magnificent creations of God in this whole entire universe! As I walk around the huge UCSD campus, I see green trees, brown trees with red leaves and pink flowers, and trees with white fluffy flowers, etc. But when fall season comes, all the pretty little flowers and leaves fall off, leaving the tree bare once again, going through the season cycle of 'death' and 'rebirth'. It's kind of how Jesus died for our sins on the cross, but that wasn't it. He resurrected, rising from death. Have you ever thought about the endurance of our Saviour? If Jesus gave up on the cross because it was so painful, we wouldn't be here this day, this minute, this second even reading this post. But because he endured and preserved through pain, he ultimately entrusted himself unto the Father's hand.

Trust in God's timing that has been prepared for you. God works in different timings and through different seasons. It's Passion Week, everyone. Let's meditate on the Lord and look to the glory of resurrection. :)
