You are Lord, You are Lord
All creation will proclaim
You are here, you are here
In Your presence I’m made whole
You are God, You are God
Of all else I’m letting go.

When I grow up I’ll dress up and drink wine glass upon wine glass and eat fancy bacon and saunter around bidding the silent auctions while listening to beautiful piano music.

Or maybe it’s because wine reminds me of my dad and of Hong Kong and of weddings. mmm.

make it stop. please.

I’m slightly ashamed to admit that I’ve always thought I would feel flattered.

But time and time again I do not. I feel disgusting. I feel gross. I feel like I want to cry from feeling helpless and feeling objectified.

I think I’m ready to go home now. Where no one sees me this way.

Funny how today was on Luke 12:13-21. Essentially about being stewards of money, but really, it’s a spiritual battle. It’s not about how much we give, but what our hearts are. The Gospel reflects on how we should give, and how we give should reflect the Gospel. Because God gave all of himself. We weren’t given half of salvation. The issue of giving has been coming up since last year, but a lot especially this week. Money for costumes. Money for play. Money for food.
I didn’t really want to go to the fundraising party on Thursday. I don’t like asking people for money (plus, I already did a couple months ago for Buckeyethon) and I did not ask for a scholarship. But wow seeing my mom, Jane, and Mrs. Harms donate the amounts that they did - wow. I think I’m one of the few people here that have people like them in their lives. Because growing up, I was very blessed to be able to see the actions that God calls us to lived out.

And the kids training after church put a whole new perspective on kids ministry that I have not realized before. It’s so much more than doing it because you love kids. You don’t do it unless God has called you to do it. I think I forgot about this part in the process. But it’s about investing in these kid’s lives because you want to equip them and their families to instill in them the power of the Gospel. These kids are so blessed to start and know it at such a young age. Seriously, what an advantage.
It made me think about my life. Seriously, what an advantage God’s given me. They all have invested in my eternal life. Just…wow.

I don’t understand why I’ve been given such a good life. I don’t understand how to use this blessing.

I also took the love language test today while eating dan tat. 30 questions, 30 too many decisions.

“Don’t overthink it to that point where it isn’t joyful anymore.” -Said a wise friend. I think I seem to be good at this. And so glad she went on Friday night. I would also love to be like her. A source of encouragement. Being able to look up to her as a role model in all areas of my life.

Once again reminded that having power is a very dangerous thing. It’s a struggle to handle it [alone] sometimes.

Don’t guilt me. But I also need to practice keeping my mouth shut. Motivation matters.

It’s been kind of a sad week so far. I don’t like being sad.

Today I saw an abnormally large heart - 4 times bigger than my fist. You could also see the pacemaker and all the wires and stuff. It was super cool. The human body is ridiculously beautiful.

The Gospel never fails to blow my mind. It’s mind blowing stuff.
