the happy wanderer

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

again, it says to, Praise the LORD.

(I’m so sad that I do not yet know how to flip pictures upright– but I had to post this one. This isn’t from the Sepia effect; it’s all natural Sun babyyy & you can see the rain.)

Nope, nothing particularly extraordinary happened today. But, I had 3 good meals today. (actually the third was a waste of $8. NEVER eat at the chinese fast food restaurant INSIDE of asian ghetto again. MSG layers still line my mouth.) I had a closet full of clothes to choose from. Weather was wonderful; sun shining, no earth quakes, no storms, even a summer rain to romanticize the evening. Family’s safe. No one’s being prosecuted for anything; no bombs bursting in air on this side of the world. No one’s ill. Mom’s exhausted from having to work 7 days this week; but that’s the most of her worries for today. At least she has a business to ‘worry’ about in these tough economic times. The most I have to worry about is trying to focus on studying for an exam; eating healthier; trying to prepare for med school; not completely wasting my Mom’s hard earned out of state fee.

So blessed, I am.

My God is a God who provides…I will bring praise, I will bring praise. No weapon formed against me shall remain. I will rejoice, I will declare: God is my Victory and He is Here.

If only it was every moment that I realized how blessed I am.. how overflowing God’s grace is, and not once in a .. while. Then all the so-called worries would actually be Nothing’s, and all the seemingly ‘trivial’ things would actually mean Everything to me, as they are gifts.

This doesn’t mean that all the things that I worry about aren’t worth worrying over. Certainly, getting into medical school is something worth stressing over. And yet, if God truly wants to use me in this field, then by all means, I will become a doctor– for His glory. And although it’s hard to truly say whether my goals and motives correspond with His plans, I do pray that they are not completely my selfish desires; that the things that I went through during my teen years as well as the type of people God has placed in my life that have influenced this in me are all .. a part of the plan. And because.. only God, my dad, and I know what I said that day.

mom & pops <3

… and just because i like random pictures. (sometimes ordinary > scenic or glamorous shots)
