Song for the day : Anberlin - Paperthin Hymn // [download here] // [lyrics here]

=================================

The beach is so relaxing. It wasn't too hot and not humid. But not hot enough to wanna cool off in the water. It would be nice to live right next to a beach. But I dunno if I'd wanna live in the sun by the water 24/7. So maybe I'll buy two homes. HAHAHA. j/k.

Catherine & me. Ya, I know, we're hot.



What a cool picture.

================================

Yesterday's message was like a wake-up call & a reality check. No matter how much I'm pressured from family other academic influence that success is only found in how much $$ you make and the letters after your name, how many different countries you've been to, how many friends you have.. yesterday I thought about other successes. How many people have I brought to Christ? How many people have I even uttered the name Jesus Christ with? How many times have I read through the Bible..and understood it all? How much did I really pray for the missionaries abroad? How much time did I spend with the close friends that I still have? Have I stretched out a helping hand to those in need? When my time comes.. will I regret not having done these things? Who wants to live life only to live in regret?

I can't say that I'll be changed forevermore overnight. But I have given these things some serious thought and I do want to change. It's not in our nature to always be compassionate and unselfish. But that's the beauty of grace. God still uses us to mold us. Us nobodies who aren't capable of much else, unless we have experienced His grace & mercy.

..Somehow, I'll never understand.
