Week in Review
I'm starting to regret not writing down my experiences in China and Mongolia, even just the stuff I did and tried, cause now I'm starting to lose all the details and what it was like, cause I have a pretty horrible memory. So in an effort to capture my last semester in college (all the semesters past are now much a blur, but it's not too late!), I'm gonna tryy to record weekly highlights and whatnot. Here goes..
Monday I had lunch with Gabby. I love talking to her cause she's so real, says what she thinks and doesn't try to fabricate anything, and she loves talking about God. Talking with her, she'll make God so real. Been praying for her this week cause it was the one-year anniversary of her sister's death.
Friday a friend was telling me how she got up the nerve to ask a boy out. At first he seemingly rejected her, then asked her to dinner a few days later, then overslept for the date. She cried her eyes out and didn't study for her final. Her story was preposterous to me because she's one of the cutest, bubbliest, funnest girls I know. Some people don't know what they're missing out on.
Biggest news of the week: one of my best friends Ethan is engaged! Amazing is how it was all GOD who brought them together. It's the best God-written romance story I've ever heard. Congratulations on your engagement my dear brother =) I dedicate my design hw to you, hahah..
Things that inspired me this week
"I learned the judo hold" (talking about my self defense class)
"Whoa what..the turtle hold!?"
"Haha noo, the judo hold"
"Oh..so you just hold 'em down?"
"No..more like sit on them"
"So you could put me in a judo hold right now?"
"Well..I'd have to get you down first"
....don' worry, i didn't do anything to him ^_^
One of my good friends came to the library to check out a book, and I happened to be working at the desk, so I was talking to him for a bit and at the end he said bye and loudly whispered, "Call mee!"
After he left, my coworker turned to me and said, "That was cute! Does he like you?"
"No"
"Do you like him?"
"No..he just messes with me cause I tell him about all the stalkers there are here."
Then I showed her the note he slipped me with his number and 'Call me<3' scribbled next to it hahah =).
Next week will be very busy with school..but still can be filled with the little joys of life~ (i sound like an asian notebook, the ones with misspellings and corny sayings).

Things that inspired me this week
- Rediscovered givesmehope.com <3
- How Ethan described his fiance to me. She's only two months old in Christ, but prophesies like it's God talking directly to people through her. It's mind-blowing..and so deeply encouraging to hear of a person so pure and given to Christ. It inspired me to empty myself of my own preoccupied fears and thoughts, so that God can use me in this unimaginable capacity as well..It would make life so full, to know the fullness of the living God everyday, and to help people deeply that way..
- In conversations with close friends lately, God led me to share my deepest insecurities about myself that I never thought I could share with another person, but I did. It felt incredibly freeing to bring the things I hid in the darkness into the light and, as a result, get to hear words spoken from someone else's lips that combated those lies I've held onto. And today I got an email from my best friend, whom I shared these things with, that really encouraged me..
