i want to learn to live my life on my knees.
humble me Lord, teach me what it means that when I am weak I am strong, that surrendering brings freedom, and that in order to stand, i must kneel.
life on my knees before You.
For He satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things. -Psalm 107:9
Lord, you are gracious to me. Answering prayers beyond what I ask for. Only You can satisfy!!
just finished my first semester of student teaching and classes. and of course it ended with my roomie and I frantically running to print and then running to my school to turn in our portfolios, with one second to spare.
what. a. journey.
finally being in the classroom and teaching my first graders was such a great experience. my crazy schedule was so humbling, and the feeling of constantly being tired was something that became so normal but something I could never get used to.
and now, I’m currently sitting in my literacy class, having turned in my final paper. why teachers make students stay for class after a final I will never understand. with no sleep this week and only alive by spurts of adrenaline, everything my teacher is saying sounds like wah wah wah like in charlie brown.
all this to say, God is good. He has truly carried me through this semester and I learned how beautiful it is to surrender everything to Him. It brings me so much peace knowing that nothing I do is from my own strength, and His only. all praise goes to Him!
so blessed.
it’s so hard to leave the past as the past when trying to start something new. not because you haven’t moved on but because everything about it affects you so much. but it’s not fair for the new, to let the past be a part of it.
on another note, was just incredibly blessed by an engagement video for two of my sg members. the amount of christ-like love demonstrated by the guy to his fiance brought me to tears. so beautiful how much he loves her. i would post the video here but i don’t want to be so publicly creepy (so just ask me for the link in private :P)
sustained solely by Your strength oh Lord and it could not be better any other way.
amidst the busyness, confusion, petty troubles of this world, You remain the one and true hope, neverchanging, constant.
shock is one of the worst feelings…
r.i.p. uncle david. thank you for being the backbone of our whole family, leading our family through your faith, prayers, and example. thanksgiving would not have been the same without your talk to our whole family, as we kids would fall asleep post thanksgiving dinner as you would tell the same story of how our family escaped north korea to the south…your strength and leadership truly led our family to where we are now. i miss you and i’m sad i could not be with the rest of our family as you took your last breath. i am comforted knowing that you are peacefully in Heaven with our God. i love you.
Let wrath deserved be written on the door of hell,
But the free gift of grace on the gate of heaven.
-the valley of vision
Who am I that you are mindful of me? Who am I that dares to walk around with pride around my neck? May you clothe me in Christ-like humility, putting others and above all, You, before myself, a person so deserving of your wrath.
My perfect, sinless Savior lowered Himself to the point of death on a cross, who am I to make little of this? Bring me lower so that I may serve the lowest, make Yourself greater so that I may praise the greatest.
sometimes perfection can be,
it can be perfect hell…
