My Birthday Post

To all the people in my life - whether you are in my family or my friend or even someone I may have grown a distance with, I thank you for being a huge part of my life and give me such a special day. God has given me the blessing to know you and I really hope that I can be there for you just as how you have been there for me. Whether it's a birthday or just a normal day, I hope we can always remember that there is a reason why each of us are born and brought into this world. Just know, we are forever loved :)

Omgosh...this is getting a little too corny agh sorry...love you!!

Bring me Back

Today when I was heading to school, I saw a huge group of kids at the skytrain station on a field trip. Seeing them made me smile a bit inside; they were all so talkative, excited, and obedient to their teachers. As I was walking down the stairs from the skytrain station, I see me and other university students hurry down the stairs   in hopes to catch our routine bus. I sometimes wish that I was a kid again - amused by the smallest things and enjoying whatever's in front of me. Being a child is really so great - so carefree, so simple.

What's stopping me though?

I don't think there's a reason why I can't be amused by the smallest things, to enjoy what's in front of me, to be carefree, or to be simple. Some may call me naive, but I yearn for this childlike faith. My father, our God,  has promised us His love and blessings when we learn to trust and become totally dependent in Him. I would like to think of myself as a teenager right now - I love my Father but at times, I feel like I could handle situations by myself, make my own decisions, and rebel against those who care about me most. So Father, please bring me back.... to the faith of a child.

Hmmm

The weather is so beautiful today and the air is unbelievably fresh. Even though I love summer, this change in season has definitely been one of the better ones here in Vancouver. Looking up and seeing the clear blue skies, looking left and seeing those defined mountains, and looking all around and seeing people, all types of people -it's interesting.

Do you ever wonder what people around you are thinking? Sometimes, I see people having fun; laughing within their group of friends. Sometimes, I see people looking stressed and anxious - probably because of school. But often at times, I see people looking...indifferent. Indifferent in the sense that perhaps they are lost. Although it's hard for me to say by just looking at someone, but I'm sure it's a feeling that could rush through someone's mind, even for a second.

To those people who ever feel indifferent, unsure, or even confused, don't tell yourself you can't and place your hope in the Lord. He will never disappoint. And I hope you will always find a reason to smile. Just don't give up!
