Life is Precious

My heart sank after reading an email. A dear friend's daughter is on her last days on the earth and will soon spend eternity with God. I know this day may come but not so soon... May God grant her comfort, ease her pain and less suffering in the next 14 days... Give her some quality time to spend with her mom. May God overwhelm them with His love and peace; comfort them with your assurance of salvation that this is not the end. I will miss seeing you at BSF class and will remember how diligent you studied God's word.

Update

Finally have sometime to work from home and it's nice not to have to spend hours driving back and forth I-5.

BSF Matthew study had finished. Another great year of study. The most thought provoking study probably was the Parable of the Sower. Other lessons learned:

• L5:Trusting God means to follow His will no matter where it leads
• L12: In Christian service, God uses our weaknesses to proof His strength
• L16: Satan will try to corrupt the church using false believers and false witnesses
• L24: God expects fruitfulness in the lives of His people
• L27: Main purpose of a Christian life is to wisely use what God has given.

Lots to improve...This fall will study the Life of Moses. It would be nice to retake this study again because I didn't know what I was doing 7 years ago. And I started around Lesson 8. I remembered the time viv told me to attend the Intro class on time but I had no idea what that class was. Just knew a lot of people went there... Here I am, 7 years later and still learning.. hahaha

I just finished all the paperwork for the last stage of the immigration process. They asked for so many things. I'm glad the process is almost over but have no idea when it will come to an end.

It's about time to study. I've been wanting to take a Master's degree for a long time but I'm still debating between MBA & MPA. Most people would say MBA because it's more versatile. I looked at the courses but MPA classes sound more interesting after reading them over and over again. It would be nice to take full time but probably will do part-time instead. Lots to think about...

I'm still here...

A friend of mine sent me a message asking if I've moved my blog. haha, this is the first entry in 2008. No time to update and nothing seems exciting other than trying to finish tasks after tasks... Also, no time to take pictures and not much time to rest... I've got a new assignment from church since January as many people know and have lots of pressure from work to perform more and more. April was crazy and so is May. Hopefully summer will be better.

Non-Stop Eating and Cooking

Hope everyone had a good Christmas! I sure had a blast.  

I went to visit an old friend who I worked with many years ago and said hi to her new baby on Christmas Eve. Cooked some vegan dishes for them in the am and dropped off some little things for the girls... then had a feast at Chainwhip and Kingkongrahrahrah's place at night. Thanks for the dinner!!

I woke up early morning and started baking. Turned on the TV and listening to the Today's show... the host was talking about how to eat a Christmas dinner under 1,000 calories. "Yeah, right... Whatever..." then continued focusing on my baking... Here's what I made and brought to the Ling's.

Didn't have enough time to go to Trader Joe's and got the green tea muffin mix. so, I had to make from scratch. haha I think I did quite well...

Sure there was no way not to eat at the Ling's... Man, I had to eat two rounds in order to get a bite of all the dishes.. okay, it might not be only a bite but probably two... man, so stuffed. Then went home and got some clementines to a dinner gathering at the Wong's. So much food again but this time I guess I kept myself under control. Probably ate a few thousand calories worth of food today...
