Disneyland!

My cousin Danielle finally got a Disneyland pass!

We went yesterday (11/15/11) for about 3 hours.

T'was a fun time! I loved the Christmasy feel!

Routine

Early morning yoga session + a delicious smoothie + beautiful day = :)

PTL for a beautiful, BEAUTIFUL day!

I can't wait to see the superabundant amounts of 11.11.11 posts tomorrow. Here's my contribution.

Girls Day Out

Planned a girls day out at Disneyland yesterday!

Definitely had a nice time with the lovely ladies. :)

Patience.

I have a pretty good feeling that He's testing my patience and my trust in Him. I've been so worried about a certain issue and I feel like I haven't been giving Him enough of my time, faith, hope and trust. I KNOW He has a plan for me and I'm just SO so stubborn! Darn me. Why must I be so stubborn sometimes? It's a terrible trait, really.

Verses for me to always keep in mind:

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Psalm 118:8 “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”

You are just SO wonderful. You truly, truly are. You never turn away from me and I am a fool to not give you all the praise you deserve.

Thank You.

Papa loves me!

The last time we went to Costco, my dad didn't let me put Nutella in the shopping cart. Today, my dad came home from grocery shopping and asked me to help unload the car. Lo and behold, I found this snug amongst the other groceries!

Me: "NUTELLA! But Daddy, I thought you said no to Nutella?"
Him: "I only bought it because I know you have a big test tomorrow and I want you to get 100%."

He said this and followed it with a big hug.

I love my Papa! :)

Checkity check check.

Maybe some day.

TB, thrifting, and Thai food!

So today...

I went to Kaiser to get a reading of my TB test AND...

... it came out negative! :D

THEN I ate one of these:

I then decided to go thrifting and bought these:

...both for only $13.03! :D Thrifting is the best!

For dinner, Mama made this:

It's her little version of a mix of panang beef and "kanom jeen." :D

Papa to the rescue!

This morning I woke up and the left side of my neck was extremely sore (probably slept wrong). When he got home from work, I asked if Pops could cure it. He massaged me with Tiger Balm (which helped a bit) and later allowed me to use his muscle stimulator thing. THAT THING IS AMAZING!!! It's awesome for pain reduction and muscle rehabilitation! I suggest everyone buy/try it! :)

Crazy, scary happenings!

2 scary incidences today: one that happened to me and another that happened to a friend. He was held at knifepoint! I'm so glad that we're both okay! (Although, unfortunately, those thieves got away with a LOT of his family's prized possessions.)

I'm so thankful that He is faithful to His word. I'm thankful that He protects us always! I was a wreck for a few hours today but am so so SO thankful that He watched over me and my friend today. We both could have lost our lives but He covered us with His protection! PTL PTL PTL!

Oh and another unfortunate event: someone got a hold of my dad's ATM card/number/PIN and used it! IN TENNESSEE! Thankfully the bank caught that it was fraud and are reimbursing whatever amount that jerk took. There are cruel, cruel people in this world.

Thank you Lord. You truly are amazing, to say the very least.

Hello again! :)

It has definitely been a long while since I've been on this thing and I must say... I'm glad to be back!

I tried Tumblr for a while. Yes, it's entertaining, but I realized it isn't... stimulating (is this the right word?) enough for me; photos of half-naked girls, little teenagers who swear they have major, life-threatening problems (i.e. other girls who are talking to their bf whom they've been with for a week... and probably never even met in real life), and illiteracy-- DRIVES ME NUTS!

So here I am back on Blogspot. I do miss my Xanga, but I think Xanga is totally dead. Well, perhaps not, but I see more people on here than Xanga. Oh Xanga-- did I really just bring up Xanga?!

So basically, as of lately, I've been battling with discouragement issues. I've been getting easily discouraged about a lot of things... mostly school. Praying about it and reading Scripture does help TONS. I just keep reminding myself that all things happen according to His will, whether things work out the way I wish for them to or whether they don't.

OH! PTL for answering prayers! I was supposed to take the TEAS exam this Friday and was only given a little over a week to prepare for it. I prayed so hard for guidance, endurance, and strength to cram, cram cram-- I was feeling SO overwhelmed and SO unprepared. HOWEVER, this morning when I called the school to set up an appointment to take the test (which I thought the last day to take it would be Friday), the lady said the next available spot would be for Oct. 7, NEXT Friday! That means I have an extra week to prepare! YAY! God is SO good.

Let's see if I can find more people to follow. Suggestions?
Then again... how am I supposed to get suggestions if nobody is reading my blog? Ha.

Until next time!

but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.” --Isaiah 40:30-31
