Props to God

2 things :

1) I was looking for a friend and trying to get in contact with her but I didn't have her phone number and she was somewhere on campus. I asked God to bring her to me and then I gave up looking. Then I went to the student union to buy some gum and low and behold as I walk out, there she is, walking toward me. Once I stopped trying to do it on my own, the answer cam calling.

2) Today, after class, I was REALLY tired. I had almost been falling asleep driving TO class, so coming home from class...you can imagine. I get in my car, turn the engine on and drive forward. BAM! I hit the divider line, or so I thought. I decided to get out and check the car and it's a good thing I did because it was actually a plot of dirt with no tree in it, so had I continued going, my car would have gotten a HUGE beating. Also, none of my tires where damaged.

Hollah! God is good to me.

I thought I was too old to get spanked

But then again, I did let my nephew put a slug in his mouth. My sister hits pretty hard. I should have known...looking at hands with intense interest means snack time to a 13 month old. Dean, if you are reading this, I'm sorry. I did manage to get it out of his mouth before he swallowed it though. Praise the Lord.

On another note, pray for me. My flight is suppose to be Saturday, early morning to go on vacation, but its AA! And there have been many a cancelled flights these couple of days. Divine favor! Or increased patience. Either way, I win!

Chuck E Cheese

Today I took my friend and her 2 kids to Chuck E Cheese. I remember thinking it use to be so much fun! Now, not so much. I realize now as an adult, most of the time, you are waiting in line to get your kid stuff. First, we waited in line to get the tokens and pizza, which took a while (it was crowded on Tuesday!). Then we waited at the table for the food to come, while the kids played. Then we watched the wallets and stuff until everyone was done (which is basically more waiting). I think I might have pulled a waiting muscle in my brain, because it still hurts.

And ski ball just didn't seem as fun as before. What is the world coming to? Or maybe I'm just having a bad day.

Politics According to Tien

Usually I try to stay away from politics, not that I'm not interested in what's going on, but because I don't like to argue just to get my opinion heard. However, I have been compelled by some friends of mine that firmly believe that Obama will be the right choice to elect as the next United States President.

I don't really consider myself Democratic or Republican, though I am registered with the Republican party, but I am concerned for my country. I am concerned for my brothers and sisters, and really for my own soul. The question that hit me hard yesterday as a friend made a firm statement about Obama's greatness was this: If Jesus ran for President, would I vote for Him? What would His platform look like? What would His policies on gay rights be? How about on abortion or welfare? What about social security?

Honestly, there is that part of me that says, Jesus is not good for the American people. The way His righteousness shines, it makes people wanting to live in the dark, a little uncomfortable. Yet God has said something, " 'As for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.' " (Psalm 2:6) His glory will cover the earth, as the waters cover the seas. What does that look like for America? I'm not sure, but I no it's not what any candidate can bring to the table.

Happy Day of Love

I love Love! I sent my mom and dad out to dessert tonight and my mom made a comment about how she hopes that I can get a husband soon so I could enjoy Valentine's Day as much as her. In reply, I said I enjoyed my day today immensely and I don't think I could have had a better Valentine's Day today. Why?

Because I got to spend my day with JESUS! I can spend every day of this life I have with Him. I think that's stinkin' awesome and there is no better way to spend it.

Here's to all the married's out there and all the singles...happy in Love.
