God-driven conversations

I am amazed.

I don't think I have ever encountered a conversation entirely driven by God in my life. It was funny and unexpected because I was not prepared, and it was definitely not planned. I was unsure whether or not it was the "right" timing to bring it up, and somehow I felt that God was tickling me to bring it up, and as a result, stirred up a great conversation.

As simple as 1-2-3, all I really did was say grace for our meal, and asked God to bless our conversation - and He did. It was all Y-O-U.

Thank you, God :) We both feel so blessed. Thank you for reminding me that YOU are in control of everything.

All For You.

My students make me laugh..

This little grade 7 Korean kid just loves talking and showing his so-called "talents". Well, these "talents" are quite impressive.

Here are a few things he did that I don't think I'll ever forget:

1) P: "Missssss CHUNG. Can you pound it PLEASEEEEEE?"
Me: "No, P. Later..."
P: "BUT, we are the only Asians in this school, we must have a special handshakeee! Let me teach you, it's really easy! You first pound it... then you spin a whole 360, you turn back and go WHOOSH GO ASIANS!!"

2) P: "Misssss Chung, want to see me break an apple?"
Me: "Eh, sure.. how are you going to break it?"
P: "With me head!"
Me: "...."

And he did it...

3) P: "Miss CHUNG!! Want to hear this rap that I made with C?"
Me: "I guess, what is it about?"
P: "MCDONALD's!! This is how you should order next time at McD's!"

He proceeds to spending the next two minutes rapping his order...

Loving people

A dear friend of mine gave my hair a trim last night, and she gave numerous of people haircuts and trims for the duration of her stay in Edmonton. She told us that this is her way of showing love to people! We all love and miss her dearly as well, as she has moved back to Calgary...

I was thinking through this loving people thing as I was driving home to church today. Jesus showed us his impartial love by dying on the cross for us, so we are saved. That is how Jesus loved us and he loves us dearly for who we are.

For myself, one thing that I absolutely enjoy doing is serving people. I serve them through offering them rides to places and driving them around. I have been doing this for as long as I was given this car by my parents. I love it a lot.

Let me ask you this question today: What is your way of loving people? Or in other words, how do you go about loving people?

Call-back day! :)

Today...I did not have to teach, and I was on campus :)

Today marks the end of my 4th week of APT, which means... there's only 5 more weeks of INSANE BUSY teaching left! I have completely taken over my mentor teacher's two grade 7 and two grade 8 classes, and on Monday, I will be teaching the grade 9s as well. Oh-em-gee. It's gonna be busy busy busy... I hope I will still be alive, but good thing spring break and Easter is SOOOON. 9 more school days to last before a FUN week of break and then I'll just have 3 more weeks to pull through! My APT experience has been quite wonderful. Busy, but I am enjoying it and I am learning a lot each day about myself as well.

Today was "Professional Growth Day" for all secondary APT students, which we also called call-back day. It was absolutely fantastic seeing my classmates again after being in our practicums for this past month. We shared stories and experiences and it seems like almost everyone's practicum is going quite well. I really love my prof, she's like a granny to us and very motherly at times. =)

Today I cried. Happy tears, of course (or I hope so anyways). We got our last final assignment back and I not only passed, but got above average. I know it sounds silly, but I told my classmates sitting at my table "I finally got above average for once!" and started laughing really hard...and mayhaps I was touched as well, my lacrimal gland began to excrete lacrimal fluid which flowed through my main excretory ducts into the space between my eyeball and lids. My teacher thought I went crazy, but knowing that I got above average (compared to below average in all the rest of my assignments) made me feel good. It was a indeed good day.

Today I also ate very yummy food. A very special person graciously passed on some food to me and another friend, and we had a great time eating the food at the ASK office. The food consisted of the following ingredients in which a name still needs to be given: RICE, mushrooms, zucchini, carrot, broccoli, garlic, onion, and CHEEEEEESE on top with this special sauce made out of onion, garlic, milk, butter, flour and seasoning. YUMMMMMMM.

Today I went for bubble tea with my very manly friends. I love spending time with them =) We also went to Dollarama and bought CHOCOLATE which made us happy. Two of them started craving nachos... so afterwards we went to BPs and had some nachos ^^ After we all dispersed and went our separate ways, I found out from two of the manly friends that I have found three men/boys...(??) (courtesy of one of these manly messengers) and people looking forward to my wedding o.O What a day? As for my wedding, only God will know when it will be and time can tell. But I have my ring barrier and flower-man all figured out already. SCORE!

Today I also did no school-related work whatsoever, which means my weekend will be messed up because I have SO MUCH to do. But I had a good nap here and there after dinner. Hmmm.

Today I found out that I have double toenails for both my pinky toes and... my mom has it too....so I have almost a total of 12 toenails, or to be more exact, 11.

Today I also discovered the abundance of yogurt in my refrigerator upstairs and downstairs. Two tubs of strawberry and raspberry yogurts, and almost 24 packs of miscellaneous flavored yogurts, all dated for best before March 18.... I suppose my life full of yogurt is back. AGAIN. Oh.. dear....

Well, that's my Today =) What's something interesting that happened to you today? Share with a friend or two today.

Patience...

A note for myself to remember to try not to explode in people's faces or rip someone's head off... because they're stupid.

P-A-T-I-E-N-C-E. I sometimes really dislike this word...
