LEESAHLEE.

freshmen year.

sophomore year.

junior year (wow we aged…)

I am thankful for:

Lisa Lee! I’m always grateful that God has placed you in my life. Coming into college, I never knew which kind of people I would meet but I’m so glad I was able to meet you. You were one of my first friends I was able to further my relationship as sisters. I’ve never opened up to a person as much as I did with you. I still remember the day when we biked to the cliffs together and I shared with you about my past. You were seriously the first person to ever cry for me and I was really touched by your genuine care and prayer. It was always hard to open up my past to people but your willingness to listen, rebuke and love taught me a lot about sisterhood. Seriously, what would my college years be without you? You are one of the few friends I know with  same major as me hence was able to take same classes with me. Seriously, we had at least one class together every single quarter since sophomore year. I will never forget the countless of nights spent with you “studying” and “writing” our papers. hehehe the best procrastination partner ever<3 Even when I was in Paris, you kept me accountable through the long emails always encouraging me and challenging me to seek Him before anything. I’m always able to share my struggles with you without a hesitation. Thank you for your smile and your heart. Honestly, your passion and love for Christ encouraged me in every way to seek Him before anything. Thank you for calling me when I was struggling all the way from D.C. I can’t wait for you to come back. We will have loads of fun together during summer<3 I know wherever you end up, you will continue to bring glory to our Father and your presence alone will give light to those who don’t know Him. There are so many people in this world who don’t know Him and are desperate to live. You are one of the people in the world God has placed that passion to serve them.  Continue to keep your eyes set on our Savior and have the security and faith in God. I LOVE YOU SISTER<3

Apartment mates.

Thank You God for my apartmentmates Daisy and Christine. I don’t tell them enough and words cannot describe how grateful I am to have them in my life. They are both so odd and hard to understand but that’s how You created them to be! It’s great to have sisters I can be honest and vulnerable with and not feel judged or embarrassed. Thanks guys for comforting me, praying for me, loving me and caring for me. The fact that I can cry in front of you guys already show how much I am comfortable around you guys :) I truly cherish and value our friendship and sisterhood sooooooooooo much. Thank you for putting up with me. 

Daisy, thank you for reading me random Spanish poems I will never understand. Thank you for being so caring and loving with your weirdness. Your advices are always so wise and calm like yourself. Thank you for allowing me to pray for you when you had your times. Thank you for praying for me when I was struggling especially yesterday. Your prayers are always so genuine and I really do feel loved by them. I like that you don’t mind silence. You are one of the few people I don’t have to feel awkward for the silence and be comforted by the silence. You are such a hard worker and I know your hard work will pay off in the end. You have a beautiful heart to serve His people who are often ignored. I’m so thankful for people like you who want to serve and help others. I’m forever grateful that you are in Revelle with me :) One of the few people I know in Revelle. At least I won’t be sitting alone in graduation. hehehe<3 You will forever be my flower.

Christine, thank you for being such an encouragement in my life. I feel so loved by you. I know I only show only half of the love you show me, but I hope you know that I really do value you and cherish you. You are such an amazing girl with a great heart to love. Even through your struggles, you still continue to seek Him and bring it all back to the Cross. I learn so much from just seeing you grow and find your identity in Him. God is funny right? Exactly 4 years ago, we were in the same SAT class and I remember thinking ‘wow, this girl talks way too much’. Haha, now here we are living in the same house talking for hours about how much God has changed us. You are such a strong girl who doesn’t let your circumstances affect your relationship with God. I’m always praying for you and your family<3 CK you are definition of cute.

WAH I LOVE YOU GUYS<3

You know Sonya is staying up writing a paper when she updates her tumblr 4:30 in the morning :) 

Random thought of the day: I fell/tripped 5 times today. Once walking to PC in front of my econ class. Second in front of Pastor Kai as I was coming out of the prayer meeting. Third as I ran towards Rex. Fourth after Slee’s birthday surprise. Fifth, as Andrew Baek purposely tripped me and I got new bruises on my knees that just got rid of previous bruises. I probably can break the world record of falling/tripping. I got sent to the ER three times to get stitches from falling in kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade. I sprained my ankle 4 times from falling. I sprained my wrist twice from falling. I had countless of bruises and cuts from falling. I got scolded from my parents numerous times from falling. Is there something wrong with me…why can’t I walk. I think it may be because I wobble….

In the name of Love.

God is so funny.

I don’t know if I can match up to His sense of humor. 

His ways are sometimes so funny and hard to understand.

I was told that I am a very loving person. It’s true that I do try to love people as much as I can. In high school, it was to maintain that image people always had of me. Beginning of college, it was to make some friends. Now, it’s to show everyone of His Love. I’m so imperfect but I am showered in His blood. God loves me. He loves you. He is the perfect and eternal love. So…why can’t I show that love to you? Why particularly you? You are just as loved by God as I am. You are His precious and loving child. You bring joy and smile to God. Why is it so difficult sometimes..

Oh God, challenges you give me sometimes :)

True.

“The Good Shepard Jesus knows you well, though you may not think it. You never shed a secret ter over your own corruption, you never breathed a single prayer for forgiveness and helping grace, you never made a single struggle against wickedness, which He did not remark and note down in the book of His remembrance.

You need not fear His not understanding your needs, you need not be afraid your prayers are too poor and unlearned to be attended to. He knows your particular necessities far better than you do yourselves, and your humble supplications are no sooner offered up than heard.

If you transgress He will grieve but He will chasten and bring you back; if you bear good fruit, He will rejoice and give more grace; if you sorrow He will bind up your broken heart and pour in balm. He is ever watching and observing and listening. No believer is so humble and lowly, but He is acquainted with all their ways”
