Dependency

Almost 20 days since I last posted an entry, BUT life goes on irreversibly.

Today was a gorgeous day, except for the fact that I answered only 1 out of the 4 questions on my first Wharton quiz...and my answer was wrong. Pleasant.

I had an embarrassing moment during that 15 mins of quiz time when I stared up into Prof. Mitchel's eyes, blankly, while everyone else had their eyes fixed on the quiz, scrambling away.

I failed? Certainly. My life ended? Eh...not exactly. My confidence wavered? Yeah, probably. My hopes faded? Nope, not in a million years. :]

Why? Because -
Knowledge #1 states: I'm loved by the Father, and He has led us into all things.
Knowledge #2 states: We find His love incomprehensible.
Knowledge #3 states: Even if He throw us into fiery lakes, He will be right there with us.
Knowledge #4 states: He will banish all of our fears and worries.

Only condition: We have to learn how to depend on Him and hold on to His love.

Simple, lovely.

A New Beginning

If the lights outside of my windows are signals of a new beginning, then I shall live this new beginning.

Lots of things will change, at least I expect them to do so. There are many things that I worry about, but I'm obligated to walk on strong and prepared. It is the responsibility. During the summer, I have realized the most important purposes of my life here on Earth. It is to serve, to serve my fellow brothers and sisters; to build, to build stronger relationships with my loved ones; to grow, to grow in the amazing love of Christ; and to love, to love the ones who do not know how to love.

Maybe I will be disappointed, maybe I will regret, maybe I will lose control, maybe I will even lose trust, but I will be joyful, even in pain.

We have learned how to "cope" with our crazy college lives, but from now on, I want to truthfully and faithfully "live" my life, the life that was sweetly given by the loving Father.

Amen.
