Happy Chinese New Year!

Year of the Horse

Sorry I’ve been away for so long but I’ve made a commitment to blog at least once a month from now on. 🙂

In case you don’t already follow me, I’m usually pretty active on Instagram, although I’m taking a break from Facebook while I study for the MCAT. That’s right. I’ve started studying to retake the MCAT since my scores expired last year. It’s not easy but I know it’s gonna be alright. God’s got my back.

Since today is the first day of the new lunar year, I wanted to say thank you to all of my faithful followers and let you know a little of what I’ve been doing. This past few months, I’ve actually been reading a lot (go figure) but just didn’t have the time to review any books. I’ve also been crocheting A LOT. (pictures to come)

There was a prophetic word at my church this year that I wanted to share:

1/5/14: Rachel Klinge: The word of the Lord would come to His church this morning saying, I desire to bring a fresh outpouring of my Spirit upon you. I desire to empower you afresh even today, not for another time or another year, but I desire to enable you even to walk out of sins and to walk out of your past. I am the Author of your life. The past will no longer dictate your future, says the Lord, because I will bring to you new open doors. I am the One that can even create a door where there is no door. I am the God that desires that you flourish in 2014, that you move into a newness and a freshness, and all the stagnation would be removed out of your life, says the Lord. I will take those things that have been trampled underfoot, and I have caused them to rise anew and afresh in my name, says the Lord…I see the Lord breaking down walls of animosity and hatred even. restoring relationships in 2014; even relationships that we have written off. God says, I am able to bring down walls for I am the God of peace and I am the God of reconciliation and even walls and barriers that have been there for decades I can destroy.

Love it. God is moving and opening DOORS. Yes.

Book reviews and crochet work pictures to come soon!

God bless you! Gung Hay Fat Choy! (Year of the Horse) 😉

Word of Encouragement

and then he told me,
My grace is enough; it’s all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.
~ 2 Cor. 12:9-10 (MSG)

The Perfect Relationship

A smile.
I’m content.
I’m getting what I need and what I want.
I speak.
I listen.
I am heard.
I see truth.
I see love.
I cannot hide.
I don’t wanna hide.
I seek to know and be known.
I cannot hide my love, my devotion.

I am wanted.
I am desired.
I am loved.
I am destined.
I cannot hide my love.

Through pain.
Through sorrow.
Through storms.
I can rely on You.
I can face every thing, every trial, every mistake.
I look to You.
I am loved by You unconditionally.
You know my every thought, every hair.
You know my every flaw but love me anyway.

Anyway, You care about all of me.
All of my life.
All of my hopes.
All of my dreams.
Every thing.
You care.
You see.
You love.
I cannot hide.

I cannot resist.
I cannot comprehend.
I do not deserve this love but you give it to me freely – no strings attached.
No words can describe this perfect love.
This perfect gift.
I cannot hide my love.

Wrote this during CORE 4/7/10 when we were defining “The Perfect Relationship”.
