a smattering of thoughts:
casual observation #1: last night i ended up going to the gospel choir cd release party at the billy graham museum. it was a spontaneous decision, and i had already eaten dinner (dinner was being served there to those who had bought a ticket). i often go to the chapel in the museum to pray and run across the guy working at the desk. he is friendly, and waves at me whenever i pass by. anyways, last night he was working at the desk and i asked him if i could get him some dinner. haha i didn't mean it to be awkward but i think he might have taken it the wrong way. maybe he thought i had ulterior motives? i wish i could serve others without coming across as creepy. but then it wasn't so awkward because i paused and then started talking to him in korean. first off, he's in the grad school. second off, he is korean. at least i made a new friend last night. i also realized that my korean has taken a turn for the worse. hm..
today, i am thankful for the sunlight outside. how it falls a certain way on the blooms and blossoms and illuminates the flowers and trees. i'm really thankful for banana honey peanut butter sandwiches (had one for brunch).
also- talked to eric last night & he told me what God was teaching him. The Lord is faithful to us and keeps us accountable to him. we're not left up to our own antics - he is always drawing us to him. yes, we have free will and ultimately are left with the decision to follow or not but when we do, God in turn always follows through and stirs in our heart a desire for more. The desire for Him is from Him. I love God because the love i have for him is completely beyond my understanding - it's deep calling out to deep. he called me to Him - grace, i want a personal relationship with you. i know you, i created you, i sent my son to die on the cross for you. Lord, you sent your son to die on the cross for me. You desired to take my sin and place it on your shoulders. i weep because your love is so vast and i'll never truly know all of it while i'm here.
Yes, i believe that your joy is in me.
