Somebody told me that I am getting lazy by just posting photos on my blog. That's how I feel too. I've been putting up too many pictures. =P

My parents are going to North Carolina for my cousin's wedding. They left this morning to Washington DC, Pennsylvania, Maryland and then to North Carolina to meet up with other relatives. They are going this one-week trip on their own with the help of AAA maps and travel guides. heehee, very adventurous. It seems like their honeymoon. Actually my mom doesn't really know where she is going to visit so she just follows... =)

I will be TheRob's mom for a week while my parents are gone. My mom bought a lot of foods for me to cook. She listed out all the important things/rules I have to take care of, such as making sure TheRob eats breakfast every morning and fruits everyday. I told her that we probably won't eat the oranges since nobody is going to cut it. haha We are so spoiled...

Last week, I went to this 4-day Tres Dias retreat hosted by
United Christian Church of Hacienda Heights. Thank God for this opportunity to enjoy His presence. This was the best retreat I had in my life.

Before going to this retreat, I wrote down my prayer in my journal. I asked God to renew my life, to have more passion for Him, to be able to minister Him and people wholeheartedly. Thank God for answering my prayer in a way more than I asked or imagined. How wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. I am deeply surrounded by the love of God. I am deeply filled with the love of God. Thank God for opening up my spiritual eyes to see His amazing grace in my life.

This retreat was full of surprises, precious memories and touching moments. I was so touched by the team members who served throughout this retreat. I see the beauty of God in them, so thoughtful and considerate. They set the loving examples of Christ. Big thanks to all team members!!!!!!!

I have received abundant blessings from God and I pray that I will be a blessing to others. All the touching feelings and emotions might fade away as the time goes on. I have a commitment before the Lord: I will love Him, seek Him and follow Him all the days of my life.

Now that I have tasted that the Lord is good, I give thanks to Him and praise His name!!!

"Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him."
