Reconciliation

This morning, I was reminded of what it means to live a life of faith. "Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led. But it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of faith, not of understanding and reason- a life of knowing Him who calls us to go. Faith is rooted in the knowledge of a Person, and one of the biggest traps we fall into is the belief that if we have faith, God will surely lead us to success in the world" - Olswald Chambers - I pray for the faith that does not momentarily changes, but I pray for the faith that grows in love and knowledge of God.
I was able to reconcile with a friend who I've been longed to speak to. We both grew so distant from each other not knowing that both of us were misunderstanding each other's behaviors. I realized how self centered I was and how careless I was about my own action that caused to push that person away when he was only trying to reach out to me. I thank God for convicting my heart yesterday to initiate the conversation that seemed to be so difficult for the longest time.

FlowerShow

Took mom to the Flower Show at the Convention Center yesterday. Although I suffered from walking through awful traffic of people, it was absolutely beautiful there...I couldn't believe some of the gardens they made in there. I was wishing that someday I can make my own garden with some of my favorite trees and flowers. Mom bought couple of Hawaiian plants. They looked like short ugly wooden sticks...but apparently they are supposed to bloom after short period of time. It makes me smile when I see mom and dad finds it so pleasing to raise their plants.

Grace

This week was tough mentally and physically. I'm thankful that I finally found peace in my mind..by God's grace. Hoping that it's not going to be too long of journey...

Her Pain

"Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But that happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead" - 2 Corinthians 9 - I can't really think of any word to describe what and how I'm feeling right now. "Why?" is the only word that's circling in my head and I know I can't find an answer.
