What is up?

I want to find a more profound title to talk about my everyday life.
Maybe that title is relevant enough to speak the question?
Anyhow, yesterday, I caught a flu.
I think I caught it from my little brother or walking to school in the rain without wearing proper clothing.
I feel better now.
At least I am glad that I am able to go to school and see my co-op coordinator.
I am slacking in school, somewhat.
Hopefully I will get on task and start working hard again.
It is going to come down on me this month and on July.
Must get BUSY!
Since I was so sick yesterday, I wasn't able to do devotional, but I do pray that God would continually be my first priority.
Spending time with God through prayer and talking is also a privilege.
Your greatest achievement on earth means nothing compare to the reward that God will crown you.

Waking up to a New Morning

It's the last day of May.
Ian just went back to Hong Kong for two months.
Right now, I am thankful that God can still use me here on earth.
He's not done with me yet.
There were a lot of significant event last week.
I especially enjoyed Tuesday and Wednesday evening *wink wink* Wink
It is a new challenge of love and obedience to God.
During small group bible study, we shared about our struggles in obeying God and finding joy in Him.
It was an awesome discussion and I thoroughly enjoyed it very much.
Yesterday, there was breakfast service at my church service.
It was really good eating and listening to a speaker.
One of the kids in Sunday school spoke blasphemy.
"The Bible is a trash!"
"Why are we learning about this biblical trash?"
Although I was kind of sad and upset when he/she said it, but I forgive that punk since he/she is still young.
Hopefully I'll be doing more posting when I have time if anything significant happens.

Taste the Word (Psalm 119:103)

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!


I wonder...
When was the last time I really tasted that the word of God is good...delicious.
I remember watching Ratatouille the other night. (It was an awesome movie)
There was this rat called, Remy, and his brother, Emile.
Remy ate something, and he was tasting it, and then he exploded with delight when chewing it.
However, Emile, just ate it and swallowed it without REALLY tasting it.
Remy told Emile that he was missing out and encouraged him to taste and chew it slowly.
Emile was kind of ignorant when tasting it and didn't experience the same delight as Remy.
For me, I honestly don't know where I am at right now in reading the scripture.
Am I eating it too fast or am I slowly chewing it so I could experience "How sweet are [His] words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!"
I am almost done reading the whole Bible.
I am slowly grabbing each pieces of puzzles together and get a glimpse of God.
And also forming a picture.
For the past few weeks, I have been doing this summer bible reading plan.
I gave it to the youth so they could read the New Testament for the summer.
I didn't want to just give it them and tell them to read it, but I also want to be an example by reading it with them.
However, as I am reading it and reading it, I am not absorbing it.
I am just eating it too fast without seriously studying the word of God.
Chapter by chapter, I am practically absorbing knowledge into my head.
I need to ask myself.
What am I reading?
What is God is doing here?
What is God trying to tell me?
One chapter on the gospel of Luke is very long.
I didn't seriously take into the investment of my time in studying Jesus.
Now, I haven't been keeping up with the Summer Bible Reading because I wasn't too sure if this is right for me.
That style doesn't suit my taste anymore.
I want to eat it.
I want to chew it.
I want to experience that JOY and that SWEETNESS in the word of God.
Not only that, but I also desire to be transformed by the word of God.
Tonight, I was asking myself.
God, how are you going to transform me?
How will you make me any different next year?
I want to submit to You.

Summer Plan?

For those who don't know, I am taking summer school.
Only taking one course this semester, plus finding a summer job.
IAT 267 - Introduction to Technological System.
For those  who are in electronics, this may be fun for you.
For those who don't know build a circuit, it is actually not that difficult I suppose.
People said that in Physics 12, they draw and outline the circuit, but this time, you get to apply it =)
I've taken Electronics/Robotics 12 when I was in Grade 12, therefore, this shouldn't be too complicated.
I needed to refresh my memory in using the breadboard because it has been few years ever since I last touched one.
However, I confess, I almost wanted to fall asleep on my first lecture.
Speaking of last week's lecture, I know that I have a lot things to share ever since I last posted.

Last Thursday, May 13th, Tomoko went back to Japan, and Angie came back from HK.
This is quite interesting and how I can see God's sovereignty.
At around noon, I went to my bank to do some banking stuff.
Interestingly enough, as I was busing to Marine Drive Station, and walking to the skytrain station, I encountered Tim, Kevin, and Alison.
They went to send Tomoko off to the plane.
They accidentally missed a stop.
Wow, what a right timing and right place to see each other.
If they didn't miss that stop, or if I miss a bus, then I wouldn't have encounter them.
Afterward, I decided to ditch my banking plan and hung-out with them for some cheap dim sum that I introduced in Richmond.
During Dim Sum, we had a lot of interesting conversation, but I am NOT willing to share it.
For my sake and for Kevin's sake =)
I thought about skipping my first lecture and just wanted to chill with them, but I know better so I went to class.
After class, I went back and chill with them...along with ANGIE at Sushi, but Kevin left.
Talked a lot of random stuff.
And then, we went to Metro and that was it!

Anyhow, speaking of school, I am looking for job right now.
I've applied to at least 20 places, I think...or 15, and two of them got back to me.
Now, I have to wait patiently for them to call back so I can go for an interview.
Pray for me that God would provide me something to do for this summer.

This summer is going to be either a smooth ride or a bumpy ride.
Lots more to update and share.
