i'm in one of those rare moods where i actually FEEL like blogging! perhaps it is b/c i am done with my first round of midterms. perhaps it is b/c the weekend has finally come. perhaps it is b/c i am digesting my beloved double-double. perhaps it is b/c i am listening to dinko's Audioslave-Like A Stone. perhaps i am just so randomly happy right now...

my math midterm was freakin' difficult. so many problems with so little time. so many derivatives with so little space. but there's no point in worrying about it now. i'm done and there's nothing i can do about it. i tried and i tried and i even found myself enjoying math MUCH more than senior year. may God be pleased!

tonight for bible study, we went over Predestination! ooooooo what a topic! i am so encouraged whenever we study the fundamentals of reformed theology. i LOVE it! so we're going over this huge topic and i actually found myself having NO doubts or questions at all. i was kinda surprised/discouraged to see so many people with such "basic" questions concerning Romans 9 and Ephesians 1. that's the arrogant and sinful side of me talking. i was so blessed to have a teacher like chang to teach me all the goods at such a young age. i am so grateful to God that He has given me such understanding and knowledge concerning these reformed truths. i rejoice in these mysteries as i see more and more of God's glory. all glory to Him. i know i say that alot but may it be true!

tonight, i talked to ben kang for the first time. i've never actually shared anything or even prayed with him before. it's funny how that arrogant bastard can say some encouraging things to you...not cliches, but things you've actually never heard before. i almost feel energized for the first time, all encouraged to live more passionately in this sinful world. God can even use droopy-eyed ben for good purposes!

i never enjoyed reading the book of Revelations until recently. as a child, this book was one of the scariest books to ever be written in history. the destruction, the persecution of christians, the battle against Satan. but now that i have a better understanding of eschatology, i find this book to be so much more encouraging! apart from the fallen angels, evil dragons, and falling believers, there is the coming of Christ! with all the sin and chaos in this world, there will be Christ! we're all going home guys...we're finally going home! and i'll get to say my "all glory to Him"'s forever and ever. encouraging.
