Wow can't believe it's already been over two years since I shared my testimony at the EMMAUS Banquet.

Today in service we sang the song In Your Freedom. As I was singing this song a wave of emotions hit me cause I listened to this song a bajillion times while I was in Korea.

I realized that everything from Korea has already faded away. the friends I made, the food I ate, the church that I attended.

everything except God.

ALOT of things have changed in these two years. I've lost of lot of friends, made many new ones. My relationship with my family has gotten alot better. I'd like to think I got less sluggish. hehe. I wake up at 7am now! who am I...

In Korea I changed my major to Psychology and joked around about going to grad school in California.
Now it's a reality as I still can't believe I'm getting my doctorate in Clinical Psyc and moving to Orange County in less than a month.

-I read in an article that the real world is harsh so we should just stay in school forever. change majors. hide in the bushes if you have to. the author wrote-

True story. I'm in the class of 2018 o.O not counting the year or two I'll spend working on my dissertation. ackkkk I don't even know what a dissertation is....

but anyways. moving to California means I am literally leaving everyone and everything I know here and starting new. which I could see as a good thing. but all this change has been making my brain hurt. I realized that it is difficult to have a stable friendship/relationship with anyone and to be honest it made me kind of sad.

as I was listening to this song though during worship, I felt very comforted knowing that even though all these changes God remains the same.

wherever I go. whoever I am. His love and faithfulness endures.

I search for You God of strength 
I bow to You in my brokenness 
And no other King could have so humbly come 
To save my soul and heal my heart 
I have nothing more than all You offer me 
There is nothing else that's of worth to me 
And I love You Lord 
You rescued me 
You are all that I want 
You're all that I need 
I pray to You God of peace 
I rest in You my cares released 
I have nothing more than all You offer me 
There is nothing else that's of worth to me 
And I love You Lord 
You rescued me 
You are all that I want 
You're all that I need 
In Your freedom I will live 
In Your freedom I will live 
I offer devotion, I offer devotion

Necessary cute stuff

John: why do girls like cutesy stuff
Me: You're the one who likes eggs because they're cute
John: yeah but I eat them, boys only like necessary cute stuff.

Not hungry.

Me: yeah I already ate
Mom: want me to make you steak?
Me: nah I'm not hungry, I'm just gunna eat watermelon
Mom: you sure? Just eat half of one

Me: what's so funny?
Mom: you said you weren't even hungry but you ate a whole steak

Time

It hurts that you can’t go back
It heals

It’s beyond our understanding
It’s real

It means everything and nothing at all
What if I knew it all
What if I could see, would I look?
If I could go back
Would I live it again.

Why do we care
If eventually it’ll be gone

And to know that God is above it all
How different the world must be to Him
And to imagine that one day we too
will soar above
