Oh as usual, there's so much to say but there's so little time and most of you know that expressing myself is not one of my strong points. Sometimes I like to stick with the old phrase "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all". Very wise...very wise. If I could control my tongue more, maybe i would get in trouble with people less. I overcome one great thing this week...I learned to evaluate/consider/deal with criticisms. This week, someone said something to me that made me feel very little about myself. "Am I really that way" I thought. At first, it bothered me a great deal. Then I went into prayers with God and I asked him, "Lord, please tell me if there are any truths to the criticisms." After the prayer two cool things happened. 1. God answered me by reminding me the story of Job. In his most desperate times, his friends lost faith in him cause they thought he sinned against God, therefore, he was being punished. Job knew better. He knew that God knows his heart and he knew that he has done no wrong to God. Lesson to me was: it's more important what God thinks about us than what others think about us. 2. If I did wrong to others and God, then I should change and make things right. Either way, it's a win win situation. I went away feeling very at peace. For the very first time, I didn't feel like I need to Grab that person aside and try to change his/her mind about me. What is the word nowadays?? Humbling...the word is humbling.

At the end of the night, I know I am blessed. At the end of the night, I know I am loved. At the end of the night, I know I am forgiven.

On a side note...do you know what Disney princess I am? I am belle. That was unexpected cause i thought I would be Mulan or something..hehe. Here's what it says...let me know what you think.


You're Belle!

You are a true bookworm and dream of a life better than the simple, quiet one you lead now. Your good looks can attract the town jerks, but you manage to ignore them most of the time. Sometimes you feel like you're surrounded by idiots. So what are you waiting for? You don't need your father to be kidnapped to get out and see the world. Although you can be stubborn, you're also very compassionate and see beyond people's façades.
