cheers!


11:00pm on tuesday night
after sign language circle
went out for a drink with Bonnie

sat at the restaurant for about 30mins...
(the restaurant is named Joyfull, it's a "family restaurant" as the japanese called it...hmm...it's cheap and good...i can't find anything to compare with in Canada)
just chatted and chatted...and no one came to ask for order
which is TOTALLY fine with us

but we started to feel bad...
not ordering for after sitting in the restaurant for like 30 mins
but it's kinda late to eat anything
so...we decided to order something to drink

and we ended up cheering with

MILK~~~~~~~~ HAHA!!
(talking about being a grown-up)

hmmmm...
delicious!

(the waitress was a little shocked when we just ordered 2 milk)

touched again

past sunday
my pastor couldn't stop but to remind us again the importance of reading God's words

full of promises for us to grasp

i know
i know the importance

just sometimes
laziness creeps in
and it follows with thousands of excuses
before i knew it
"oops!it's time for bed...tomorrow, tomorrow!"

i am just thankful that since i got to Japan
my time spent with God is more regular (but still far from enough)
work day seems to work better than holidays (i need to work on that)

and i am just thankful that the whole Bible is accessible online
which allows me to read during work time...(haha..i have lots of free time during work time)

just want to share this lovely poem written by David (sorry..it's a bit long..)

Psalm 139

O LORD, you have searched me
and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.

You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?

If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"

even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place.
When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,

your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!

Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God!
Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!

They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.

Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD,
and abhor those who rise up against you?

I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

our God is beautiful
isn't He?

Add it up

Add to your
faith
+ goodness
+ knowledge
+ self-control
+ perserverance
+ godliness
+ brotherly kindess
+ love
---------------------

don't be satisfied with the result
but allows these qualities to increase continously

because
they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ

2Peter 1:5~7

With the grace of God
I pray to grow in each area
daily
