| Visiting Wheaton College was definitely an amazing experience. I am so hooked on Chicago now, which is incredibely dangerous but o well.
In other news...this quote is pretty darn random, but what can I say???! Its amazing...
"Suffering is God's design in this sin soaked world. It portrays sin's horror for the world to see. It punishes sin's guilt for those who do not believe in Christ. It breaks sin's power for those who take up their cross and follow Jesus. And because sin is the belittling of the all-satisfying glory of God, the suffering that breaks its power is a severe mercy. Whatever makes us more and more able to enjoy making much of God is a mercy. For there is no greater joy than joy in the freatness of God. And if we must suffer to see this and savor it most deeply, then suffering is a mercy. And Christ's call to take up our cross and join Him on the Calvery road is love." ~John Piper | | |

HAHA! I LOVE my mom! I have to start a quote book just for her. All of these in just one night. Just so happens it was right after she had a margarita at Jo T's. Its been fun having my family. Visit. I'm going to Chicago tomorrow!!! Please pray that I have a safe and worthwhile trip!! I cant wait!!! | | |
| I'm babysitting Tobin right now but he is already in bed. Wow he is soo cute. He wouldn't talk to me at all for the first twenty minutes I was over here and now we are best friends!! I can't believe it is spring break already. It scares me how quickly time flies by. I used to want time to fly and now I just wish it would stop dead in its tracks. Working at marble slab is a blast and such a blessing. Praise God that I got that job. I don't have many hours which is good because that allows me to still have time for school and friends. Some of the people I work with there are hillarious. God has been really faithful in answering my prayers lately. He has answered big ones but also a ton of little things, things that I have always felt guilty asking for. I think it is a slap in His face when we don't think he cares about the little things in our lives. Our God isn't distant like that. He wants an intimate relationship with His children. In the past few months I have been slowly learning about what it means for God to be my father. So often I think of God as having the same attributes as my earthly father. I think the Wongs are home. I'll update later. | | |
| NO HOMEWORK WEEKEND!!! Do we all know what great news that is? If not let me just tell you it is fantastic news. This week in school has been tough. Really tough. But I cant complain. It was self-inflicted tough. God, though, has been so faithful to me this week. As hard as its been, I can think of many specific ways that it could have been much worse. Tonight I am going to church with my youth group. That should be fun and relaxing. Then the girls are going to a lock-in at the church. Another self-inflicted night of little sleep. Im going to read today. I cant wait. I'll probably update later with something good from a book I'm reading. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!! Hmmm that was a very fluffy entry. O well... call me!! | | |
| I read this in my Bible book for school. I loved it. Its so true and reminds me of Job.
"Sometimes God answers us with questions-questions that leave us humbled, awed, speechless, weak and believing-believing not because we've found the answer, but because we've seen God. It doesn't matter that we have more questions now than when we started. It matters that we see God, for in the seeing, we discover that the truest answer to all our questions is to worship Him." | | |
