Drained Full

It was a tiring, challenging weekend. I'm waiting for everything to marinate in my mind. I do know that I want to have a bigger heart - a bigger heart to love, to forgive, to impact. For this, I shall pray.


Things that made me happy at retreat:

• small group: I fell in love with my small group. Donbi and I clicked in a unique way. We both look at people on the freeway and wonder where they're going, who they are, why they're driving that particular car, or why they're wearing those clothes. We end up thinking of detailed life stories for these people we have never met. Then we think about the fact that all these people probably have families. We feel overwhelmed and our minds just crash. We blame books for our overly active imagination and the fact that we're obsessed with stories. The girls were all amazing. As they shared, I learned so much from them. I can't wait to see how God is going to work through them to reveal Himself.
• morning prayer: There's something so refreshing and perfect about starting the day in prayer. Must do this more often.
• free time naps: So yummy.
• Johny singing "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing" to me while I was sleeping. When I woke up, I thought it was in my dream, but later found out that it really happened. It's so strange; I even remember his voice: "This song is for Grace Liu." I woke up feeling so warm and comforted inside.
• heart to heart with Dan. Always so comfortable. Thanks pal.
• falling asleep listening to Chopin (well, this is always... but I ESPECIALLY enjoy it after a long day). By the way, thanks Paul for the sleeping bag. I truly appreciated it.
• hanging out with JiSoo and watching Ed take care of his little sister so lovingly.
• watching the students praise their hearts out

I hope we made God happy.
