I once was lost but now I'm found

Annie, oh Annie, seek not things on this earth, but rather treasures in the glorious heaven above. For when you pass, as all will, you take nothing with you. It is all futile, passing like a mist. But the Lord stands forever, in his eternity you can place your trust. 

I think if there's any conclusion I've come to over the past day and a half of mulling over the situation, it's that what started out as a mere crush turned into quite deep feelings as we became closer and began to talk more. And that's why I'm feeling pretty crappy and actually very upset. In all of this, I am thankful that it didn't drag out for longer, because otherwise I would've fallen deeper than I had intended to. (Not that I intended to like him in the first place.) I think a part of me was a tiny bit hopeful that we might have ended up together, even if I kept trying to believe that I wasn't expecting anything.  But God has been gracious in answering prayer, and I know I can trust that He has better plans for my life, whether it involves a boy or not. 

Rejoice! When you cry to Him he hears your voice, he will wipe away your tears. Rejoice!  It's been a mentally and emotionally exhausting day, but I can rejoice knowing that my Heavenly Father loves me immensely and had a good plan for me. 

I've been sketching on an app lately and got a bit bored:

Reading about the events surround Jesus' death in Matthew (yes I finally made it). I've been reminded that Jesus' death (and resurrection) is the fulfilment of a great plan that God put into place from the beginning . There really is no greater love than this. 

Celebrating my freedom in Christ. Freedom from the chains of my insecurities, doubts, temptations, grief, anxieties, sin.

我仍然好掛著婆婆。因為我知道我就算今天死了，我都不會有機會再見到婆婆了。人過去以後，剩下的才會體會到人生到底有多短，時間是怎麼珍貴。因為，人沒了，它就沒辦法認識到神。我好後悔沒抓緊好時間。 對不起，婆婆。
