Being snowed in at my apartment at school was fun for the first few days, but this is getting kind of ridiculous, and I’m starting to get bored. Not in the sense that I miss classes (God forbid, I rejoice in the fact that I get a break from 21 credits), but I miss seeing other people asides from my roomies. So being bored as I am, I happened across this article: Top 10 Reasons Why Mac Sucks. Being a Mac-lover, I was intrigued and read it in hopes of being enlightened. UM, NO. the only thing I was enlightened [...]
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139:14 There’s this new fad going on on Facebook where everyone is using their celebrity doppelganger as their new profile picture. Out of curiosity, I uploaded a photo of mine to a website to see who my celebrity look-alike would be, and to my sadness, I didn’t really look like anyone. I tried different photos of myself, but same results. All of a sudden, I felt very unattractive. In my mind, I had somehow equated being beautiful with having a celebrity doppelganger; [...]
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Psalm 30:5 Praise God, my mom’s surgery went well and she is now out of the hospital and slowly recovering.

On the surface I seem to be coping with the whole ordeal quite well, though I know it is God’s words and strength that continues to sustain me and [...]
The voice of the Lord is over the waters…is powerful…is majestic…breaks the cedars…strikes with flashes of lightening…shakes the desert…twists the oaks and strips the forest bare. Psalm 29:3-9 There’s a Chinese Christian song I really like, and the lyrics go something like this: Listen closely, I will listen closely, I will listen closely for the voice of the Lord. Listen closely, He is listening closely, the Shepherd knows my voice. He is our Shepherd, the Lord of our lives, and all my life I will follow His voice . He is our Shepherd, the Lord of our lives, His sheep [...]
My feet stand on level ground; in the great congregation I will praise the Lord. Psalm 26:12 I like Psalms because it applies a lot to my life. In it David speaks of his worries, his anger, his joys, his hopes, all these things that me and you experience in our day to day lives. But when I read Psalm 26, I was stuck. Throughout the entire psalm, David asked God to vindicate him for he was a blameless man. It went on saying how he didn’t sit with the deceitful or the hypocrites, how he has lived in reliances [...]
