50

I don't care what anyone says. I think aging is beautiful.

My mom hates to go out and eat at restaurants (or so she says) so every birthday/graduation/special occasion we end up staying indoors and having a small home-cooked meal; however, this year we decided to do something different. We all dressed in our nicest clothes, prepared individual gifts, and had dinner at a local barbecue house. It was the first time my family went out together to celebrate an event. It was my first time buying my mom a drink and it was also the first time my mom witnessed me drink. It was the first time in a long time, or maybe even ever, my mom was actually treated like a queen.

PTL

Sometimes you think your smallest actions won't have much effect but you just need to be patient and have faith with the Spirit's working.

I took a last-minute trip back home because of certain family matters and just discovered an interesting section on my sister's white board. A couple months ago, my sister was really stressed and tired from pulling multiple all-nighters and I, knowing this, decided to send a few comforting verses just for the heck of it. Her response was unclear and I didn't think much of what I had done since I wasn't able to see an immediate impact or outcome.

Well here I am at 2AM, many months later, almost on the verge of tears from finding those same verses written neatly with a black dry-erase marker.



After 7 years, I'm finally able to physically see God slowly moving in my family and it's so beautiful. For the first time in her life, out of her own longing and desire, my sister has expressed interest in going to church and learning about God. Tomorrow morning, I'll be driving her to youth service with a huge smile on my face. I'm so proud of her and extremely excited to see the Father touch her life.

Dang, I know I always say this but HE IS SO GOOD. I think it's mind-blowing that He chooses ME to serve and reach out to the lost, in my sister's case and in others. How could a perfect and holy God think that this lowly sinner is capable of expanding His kingdom?! I don't understand it but then again I guess I don't need to.


JESUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS may my life be fruitful!

Contrite Heart

Psalm 51:16-17:
You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise.

A little uncomfortable being in front of the camera for once but oh well. More pictures coming soon! I'm sorry for taking so long.
