birthday weekend: day 2

mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia mafia

birthday weekend: day 1

haircut and pho with the mother unit
movie with faith, amy, and steven!
puss in boots 3d: it was awesome pussum.
surprise visit to esther and joshua on
way home (thank you for the cupcakes!)
things got awkward when people we didn't
know showed up...but it was great fun!
can't wait until tomorrow ^_^

two for two

long beach was kind of a given after pomona...
i'm tired, but tonight was fun. after all,
planning an event gets more interesting when
the schedule almost entirely flips due to in-
convenient circumstances. i'm tired, but i
won't let the devil tempt me now to pity myself,
because self-pity is usually pride in disguise.
instead, God, i thank You for today and my
prayer is that through this guy/girl appreciation
night, our fellowship would grow closer together
and that we would strengthen in unity
as one body in Christ and ultimately bring
glory to Your Name.

riddle...

a man tries to buy a one-of-a-kind pair of shoes
from you and you ask him what he will offer.
at first, he observes the shoes and stares into
your eyes to come up with a number. he reluctantly
says, "i'll give you $1 for the shoes." of course,
you are not amused and sweat rolls down the man's
face due to the fact that he has said the wrong number.
however, he really wants the shoes, so again he offers.
"$50" he says. you think that much is good enough for
a normal pair of shoes, but these are no normal shoes.
"$500!" he squeals. at this, you say nothing, because
you are shocked at how great the offer is. fortunately
for you, he takes your silence as disapproval and shouts,
"$1,000!!!" is this guy made of money? you wonder.
pleased with the previous inflation, you say to him,
"i'll give you the shoes only if your next offer is
similar to the ones you've made so far." what does
the man unexpectedly offer you next?

i'll never be the same. no, i'll never be the same
show me Your heart, show me Your way, show me Your glory.
