Read-a-thon II Update

*audible sigh*

So much to say... and that's not a good thing :-P . Let's see how briefly I can do it.

1) I don't think I like scheduled posts that much (i.e. the "Inside-out" one), especially if I planned on doing several in a row but didn't finish a bunch :P . It also gives the wrong impression that I'm online >.< .

2) I did NOT forget my Friday weekly. I had all my pictures uploaded but I didn't get a chance to finish captioning them all.

3) I started my research assistant job early, since I'll be going on vacation soon. So, that took up 14 hours of last week.

4) AND we had a dinner party Saturday night, with 5 unexpected guests (I didn't check my email to see if there were any last minute RSVPs). Pretty much, all day we were prepping food... we didn't even get to eat breakfast or lunch (well, we did get to eat one corn-on-the-cob-on-a-chopstick).
BUT - it was all worth it. Why? Because 2 of my piano students and a sibling accepted Christ as their Saviour!!!  It's a beautiful thing, seeing two 5yos and a 7yo pray, asking for forgiveness of past sins and surrendering their lives to the Most High God.  Granted, they have MUCH to learn, it was still precious.  Afterwards, we gave them Bibles, and tried to show them which parts would be easiest to read.  Good thing, they're all genii ;-) .
Please pray I would be able to influence this children positively during the short time I have with them weekly. Also, please pray their parents' hearts would be open and that they'd come to our Bible studies and church services.  That would be awesome if the whole families joined the body of Christ! :D

And that leads me to my last statement:

5) I didn't get to finish my Read-a-Thon II on time. I read Acts and Romans on Monday and Tuesday respectively. And then I stopped (red-in-face). So, today (being a holiday) I practically crash-coursed through 1st & 2nd Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, and Joshua.  I'll see if I can finish up Judges and Ruth tonight. It'll be a stretch for sure... but one that I greatly enjoy. :-D

Happy 4th of July!

Shalom,
CJ

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...

Friday Funnies III / Phriday Fotos II

Asis: Woah - I just swallowed a ton of food. Jsis: Most people do... Asis: I meant at ONE time!! ________________________________________________________ A 5yo boy from Sunday School comes up to me holding a toy train and says, "LOOK! I am a fixer train . I'm the train that takes broken trains on the track to the fixer factory ." ________________________________________________________ Here's an excerpt from Anne of the Island  that makes me laugh every time I read it: [Anne] "You won't say naughty words, or run away on Sundays, or tell falsehoods to cover up your sins?" "No. It doesn't pay," said Davy. "Well, Davy, just tell God you are sorry and ask Him to forgive you." "Have YOU forgiven me, Anne?" "Yes, dear." "Then," said Davy joyously, "I don't care much whether God does or not." "Davy!" "Oh -- I'll ask Him -- I'll ask Him," said Davy qu...
