Dancing on Water.

Less than a month ago, Aimee’s and my apartment’s pipes leaked? burst?, and the apartment floor flooded with water, and we decided we wanted a dance party! But we couldn’t get the laptop to work right and stuff. This morning, the pipes in my house leaked? burst?, so naturally, I thought, “DANCE PARTY.” Except I was by myself. But I jammed to some Kanye and Britney anyway. And had a brief dance-off with my mother! LOLLLL.

Anyway, this doesn’t really have anything to do with Jesus, except, I guess, PTL that I was not shocked and useless the second time around, because I don’t think I would’ve had the same reaction had I not been like, “Ugh, again…?” Anyway,

I’m inspired. Someone find me some dancers. Short film time?!?!?!?!?!???!?!!!!?!?!?!??!?!

1 “At this my heart pounds
and leaps from its place.
2 Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice,
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth.
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders with his majestic voice.
When his voice resounds,
he holds nothing back.
5 God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways;
he does great things beyond our understanding.
6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,
he stops all people from their labor.[a]
8 The animals take cover;
they remain in their dens.
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,
the cold from the driving winds.
10 The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;
he scatters his lightning through them.
12 At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,
or to water his earth and show his love.

14 “Listen to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning flash?
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?
17 You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

19 “Tell us what we should say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;
God comes in awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
24 Therefore, people revere him,
for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?[b]”

— Job 37:1-24

Spirit of the Living God fall fresh again
Come search our hearts and purify our lives
We need your perfect love
We need your discipline
We’re lost unless you guide us with your light

Chosen.

Today, while I was trying to take my afternoon nap, I realized something that we hear all the time, but I guess I never really totally let it sink in.

God chose me.

‘Twas not I that chose God; it was God knocking on my front door over and over again until I had no choice but to open it and let Him in. That means that whether or not I chose to go to Camp Challenge that year, whether or not I took orchestra and made the friends that I did, God chose to save me. So it doesn’t matter what seems important right now or whatever hardship seems impossible to overcome or whatever, because the only thing that matters is the only thing that is eternal.

To Those of Us Who Compare Too Much.

¹²Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they arewithout understanding.

¹³But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you. ¹⁴For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you. For we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. ¹⁵We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may begreatly enlarged, ¹⁶so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another’s area of influence. ¹⁷“Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

-2 Corinthians 10:12-17

Ka Ying,

I’m not sure when you put these videos in my ask box, but I am so, so, so thankful that you did, and I praise God that I have a friend like you who appreciates this blog and continues to be so supportive of it.

I praise God also for this man, and how much his life just reflects how God’s love can change a person, no matter what kind of a situation they happen to be in. His life is a testimony of just how much Christ loves us and how even if we can’t hold on to God, He’ll never let go of us. I’m excited to meet him one day.

This made my day :) :) :). Thank you for sharing this with me :) ♥

18 For the grave cannot praise you,
death cannot sing your praise;
those who go down to the pit
cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise you,
as I am doing today;
parents tell their children
about your faithfulness.

20 The LORD will save me,
and we will sing with stringed instruments
all the days of our lives
in the temple of the LORD.

— Isaiah 38:18-20 (NIV 2011)

19.

I probably should’ve written this yesterday, but I didn’t really feel like typing very much LOL ♥.

Anyway, GAH I HAD THE BEST 19TH BIRTHDAY I COULD’VE POSSIBLY ASKED FOR. God has truly, truly, TRULY blessed me with the awesomest friends in the world. (And even if you weren’t there because you don’t go to UT, I got lots of wonderful phone calls and texts ^_^ ♥)

There were lots of birthdays to plan that week, so I wasn’t really feeling very much like it was mine, and to be honest, I didn’t really know if I was up for celebrating it, so I was kind of avoiding any surprises by studying (le wut…?!). I guess eventually, they’d have to get me somehow, huh?

So thank you to everyone who went and who wished me a happy birthday (HAH HAH You sillies who wished me a happy birthday before the actual surprise and made me “le fu?”)

Here are the videos (I’m not sure if you can see them):

HUGE thanks to Amy Lai for taking them! ♥.

AHEM P.S. A note to you cakers out there: Thanks to Amy’s videos, I now know my culprits. JEFFREY WU AND JOSHUA LEE I AM COMING FOR YOU >:(! I already ruined Tim’s shirt LOL.

TIME TO POST SOME LOVELY PICTURES FROM MY LOVELY DINNER WITH MY LOVELY FRIENDS.

A definition of our friendship.

MY CUTIES. Look at that lovely bokeh.

OH YOU KNOW. Just Ivy being Ivy.

I have no words.

Never ask irritated, old Asian restaurant owners to take your picture for you. It will turn out blurry.

YAY I AM OLD. Sigh. One more year til a huge milestone, guys. Actually is it 21 that’s the huge milestone or 20? Anyway, it has been a FUNDERFUL year, and I love you all :D :D :D :D ♥
