Dear Lord:
What a priviledge You have given me to serve for the coming Good Friday sevice at church. It is truly a priviledge because You have given me the opportunity to be a Levite, the priviledged chosen one to lead Your people into Your presence. The idea itself puts me in awe of You.. I'm indeed very priviledged.
Lord, this is the very 1st time Pastor Scott Matten and I work together. I ask for your mercy and grace upon us as we lead the combined English, Chinese, and Korean congregation into your presence. Please annoint us with your Spirit that we will be empowered by the same Spirit. Give us the 'chemistry' so that we will be able to coordinate well so that everything will go smoothly during the service. Please prepare our hearts and minds as we approach to reflect on your cross, the cross that bears our sins.
May the music speak to your people.
May Your powerful words in the hymns remind us once again about the price that You' have to pay in order to buy us back into your arms.
May Your cross be real in our lives
May Your name be glorified..
Lord, I thank you for the gift of music for mankind. I lift up the priviledge to serve you this Friday in your merciful hands.

Count your blessings
I just come back from my wonderful spring break in Louisville, KY. I had great time with my boyfriend and i had the chance to make so many new friends there. Thank you Lord for the opportunity to be able to get away from Morgantown, to spend sometime away from it, to get a new environment, to be refreshed and renewed in spirit and strength. I acknowledge that every good and perfect gift comes from God and indeed, they all come from God.
I learn how to modify my way of eating instant noodles from my 3 new Korean friends (MiSun, Hannah, and Eunkyung) in the girl's dorm. I learn new Indian fusion dishes from the queen of the kitchen Ajeen Longchari. I learn to be carefree and easy-going from my new Japanese friend Maki-- aparently things will fall in the right place. I learn to be super patient from "Mr. Nice Guy" Nick Campbell. I also learn to be faithful, trustworthy, and to stay focus from Zion, my boyfriend.
Today is the 1st day of school after my wonderful spring break in Kentucky. I'm still kinda spring-break-sick right now. Hiksss... i miss my break. It's hard to get back to my original speed of life after spending a leisure-speed of life away from school. I'm tired.. and exhausted.. I need strength to finish this semester. Many tasks are pressing and waiting for me to be accomplished soon. Solo repertoire, chamber recital on May 5, "Into the Woods" musical production on April 12-16, jury accompanying, papers, presentations, and exams.
Lord, please give me strength! I need you every second of my days on earth. I can't do it by myself. I know that your grace is sufficient for me. Give me a heart that would surrender to you.. My Lord, my Creator. I lift up my worries, fears, anxieties, dreams, passion, and my future in your hand.
Teach me to remember that your blessing is NEW everyday, and remind me to count the blessings that i receive each day.
Thank you Lord.. and I shall count my blessings now.

Where is yours?
Overwhelmed with your daily activity??
That's what i feel right now. There's always so much to read, to study, to handle, to take care of, to nourish, to enhance, to create, to edit, to.. to.. to.. DO!
But how much can we handle? I dislike my monday schedule. I start my day early in the morning and end my day late at nite.. Things are always pressing and i need to be on top of it. Is there any break for me to breath?? Not really..
But somehow i survive.. even though i complain weekly about it, yet i survive. I thank God for His words powerful words: "... For my grace is sufficient for you, and my power is made perfect in your weakness" (2 Cor 12:9).
The show must go on. THAT is my source of strength. Where is yours??
