Great Articles

Here are a couple articles I've read recently...

And as an update, I received an email from Duke today saying that I wasn't invited to have an interview.  Basically, I was rejected, but if they don't have enough people enroll, they're gonna contact me.  Mom's pretty sad since this was the school she wanted me to go to the most.  I must be getting accustomed to being rejected since I didn't feel down at all.  Duke was kind of a far-fetched aspiration, so I wasn't surprised.  God's will be done.

I hope to hear back from Carnegie Mellon and SC soon. I'd like to know about those two, even if I've already been accepted to Acton.  I have to send in the $3000 deposit in 6 days to Acton and I want to make the right decision.

Another random update is: I'm probably getting my driver's license soon.  It turns out if I am just an occasional driver with a driver's license under my parents' insurance, the costs aren't insanely high.  It'll be interesting driving without an adult.

OH OH OH!! I almost forgot... I got the 32 oz. of coconut from FedEx yesterday!!!  It's too late now, but I'll post pictures of that along with some beautiful photos of our day trip to Stone Mountain this past Monday.

    I'll be praying that the timing works out well for you! Remember that God is sovereign and He will do His will, so make the best, most informed decision you can, and then rest in Him! :-)

    Oooh! You'll be mobile! Fun fun :-) Do you enjoy driving?

    Amen! Thank you for that.

    HAHA... I suppose so. I think it's growing on me and it depends a lot on the vehicle. I prefer stick-shift, but I haven't driven one in over a year. *sad* I wonder if Toyota has a manual Prius...

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...
