If people were computers

You never know when the Lord will return, it will be a glorious day! But what will you be doing when He comes? Will you be serving Him? Or will you be concerned with the things of this world?

I was eating lunch with my sister Lydia and was thinking about this. And so I said to Lydia "you know that God loves you, right?" Lydia said "yes!" And I said "He loves you so much that He died for your sins; He took your sins like they were His and paid for them." Lydia looked at me and said "If people were computers, then it is like Jesus downloaded our sins to His computer." I laughed, "yes, you are absolutely right!"

It's late...

and I should be in bed...

"Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world--the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 1 John 2:15-17

"...All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us..."

So ...

The new year has come and gone, even the Luner new year. God is still the same even today. He is faithful.

The day after Christmas, Grammy, Ben and I took a road trip to the east coast to visit friends and family. We were borrowing my Uncle Todd's PT Cruiser in trade for my Grammy's purple Toyota, which is very hard to get into because the handles on the two driver side doors broke off--this was an interesting surprise to my Uncle I think. Ha ha! Sorry ... any way, we got stuck on the east coast because the PT broke down and needed a new transmision. We were already cutting it close so that I could come home in time for the next semester of College. Ben and I ended up taking a flight back home so that I could sign up for the classes I needed. It was good timing actually, Grammy ended up staying longer than she thought to help her Aunt move. And Ben and I got to stay almost a week at the Bouldens house, which is a good place to be stranded.

I am only taking 2 classes this semester instead of the 5 I was taking last semester. English and Chinese are interesting classes to be taking at the same time. The 2 to 3 times the hours of class time that you are supposed to expect for homework seemed a little much to me last semester, but with my English class I am finding that it is just about right.

I am in the second stage of a possible job nearby at a retirement home. So we will see how that goes. God knows what is best and I am excited to see what He has in store for me.
