Tomorrow will be my first day of work.

I want to throw up.

I know it will be great! God is with me after all.

But still.

I want to throw up.

[Vlog] Weaknesses?

The youth leader mentioned was Ko Iie.

He just briefly mentioned Romans 8:31 at the end of his sermon, and this thought came to mind.

The question was "If God is for us, who could be against us?"

A rhetorical question, which answer was an expected "nobody".

While a "nothing" refers to a thing, "nobody" refers to people.

I am a person. Could it be that I'm included in the nobody?

After 22 years of living, sometimes my biggest enemy seems to be myself. Bad characters, stiff personality, the mistakes I've made..

It might be a little confusing. How can you be against yourself in the first place? But, taking into account that you are a spirit, living in a body, your flesh and the true you are two separate things. You live in a body full of flesh, but your flesh isn't you.

Your flesh is that part of your being which has that sinful nature. But you yourself are a completely new creation!

Rom 7:15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.  20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 

So, I included my flesh in the "nobody" of that verse, and it was such a liberating feeling. I checked if this was true with ce Joan and Ghon, and both agreed. So, there we go!

And the other leader who told me about how to handle weaknesses was Ghon. During the Aussie trip, Anes, whom spent 24 hours with me everyday for 2 weeks, told me that I was stubborn, which kind of hit the mark. My whole family obviously knows but it kinda stopped there, with them. Having a friend see that was kind of embarrassing, and made me a little sad.

But I really appreciated and like his honesty. To have a well meaning friend to pin point a negative side of yours is really rare. So I do treasure him.

But still I was a little sad, and that night I confided in Ghon, and she told me what I told you in the video. Not to deny it but know that it's the perfect workshop for God. Then it made sense why Paul would rather boast in his weaknesses.

And if you're wondering what's with the Vlogs (as if blogging isn't enough to get my message across), I do find it fun to create these :D Sometimes you don't feel like typing, and while talking awkwardly to the camera was really something, I enjoyed it. Although editing might even take longer then typing, but when you like it, it's fun.

Soo that's that and have a very good day people!

Night!

The United Kingdom part 4 | St. Brides Library

Hello there! Long time no see! So lets comtinue!

So after the whole class gathered, we started moving to St. Bride's library.

Chill officers.

Some pretty classic alley! Love.

Classmates.

The library was pretty hidden. We needed to climb narrow stairs that opened up to this yard, where the library was. There were cafes in the narrow alley and even beside the staircases. Someone was having a party that day. So classic and pretty!

St. Brides itself was an old library, brimming with history and culture. They are famous for their typography legacy.

So we were gathered in this one huge room. Took pics while waiting.

We were divided into 2 groups. My group went to this old typography workshop full of ancient printing tools and early machines.

That dome on the bottom was used to print newspapers. 

One of the early mass printing machine.

Each one of the blocks consists of a letter.

Arrange them like this to get a sentence. 

Bars of metal to hold the whole thing in place.

Early Columbian printing machine.

Another machine. I forgot what these are for.

Forgot what this was for as well. Hahaha

The guy that brought us around. Forgot his name.

Apparently our group finished first. So we went to the toilet.

THREE locks. Safety while doing your business guaranteed!

Gosh THIS HAIR.

One joined.

The room in front of the Ladies'.

Love the color!

Back in the hall, they served us with tea. Experiencing the authentic England tea break!

Look at that color!

After the break, our group went to other parts of the library.

Some other old guy giving us instructions.

A long complicated journey through the nooks
and crannies of an old building!

Gathered to another room.

I think he was showing us some early typography. Argh memory.

He brought us into this room. Now this room is very special. It was made to stand a fire. So in case a fire breaks out, the items in this room will be kept safe. So what's in there must be pretty important.

Safe kept artifacts!

In front of the window, on a desk, was this book.
Reminds me of some magic spell book you see on fantasy movies.

Isn't this beeeeeautiful?

We left the room and the old mister showed us some more stuff.

Hieroglyphs (?)

THE original British road sign.

The last shot before we left the room.

Nokia produced desktops.

Please forgive me. I completely forgot what are those boxes.

Hey Mister!

What are yous?

And so apparently that was the last picture I took at St. Brides Library.

So after St. Brides, we went our own ways with our own groups. Our group wanted to visit the London Bridge, but they say it's prettier at night, so we went around town to wait until the sun sets!

So stay tuned for the next episode!

Byee! :D

[Vlog] Your Father Owns the Universe!

If you know me, you know I'm a bit of a geek. And I'm a visual person as well. So, the universe, nature, stars, clouds, cells, and what not easily fascinates me!

And the day it hit me that the universe is created by a single Man, my view of Jesus went to a whole other level.

And so I was so blessed to be able to go on a trip to Aussie and Europe, and I saw some pretty amazing stuff, both manmade and natural!

But nature floors me the most. It's like a raw painting of God, untouched. I got so overwhelmed just seeing all the view, this rushing feeling of smallness and awe. And the idea that the Guy who created this system that fascinates me so much, loves me (and most certainly YOU!), is a very pleasant thought ^^.

So please bare with the awkwardness and weirdness of any kind in the video.

Thanks!
