My PCM kids

They love climbing onto the slides

Ty

They love to pose for the camera. :)

Watching an airplane fly by.

So relaxed.

She's so cute!

I love them.
They are energetic, obedient (most of the time), and loving (they take care of each other).
Oh, and I love it when a few of them just run over to give you a hug and then go back to playing. They are so sweet.

The Joffrey Ballet

Went to see this free ballet concert in Millenium Park yesterday. This pic was taken before the performance started as we were not allowed to take pics during the performance.

It takes dedication to do this.
Kinda like piano.

Good day

I woke up at 5.40am this morning and I was so dizzy I barely made it down the bed without tripping. My first thought was, "no.... why do I have to go to work?" but since I had to go, I prayed to God to give me strength somehow to go through today. I did a short devotion and went to work the breakfast shift. I read Psalms 61-63 and these are some of the verses that stood out to me:
"Lead me to the rock that is higher than I"
"For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be shaken."
"Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before him; God is a refuge for us."
"for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me."
My dizziness was gone soon enough and I didn't even feel tired today. I'm not saying that my day has been perfect, but I'm able to do what I need to do and have joy doing them because I know that I am in the shadow of God's wings. I am in His care.
Be encouraged. You can live an ordinary day to the fullest and have joy in going through your everyday routine because God really is in control.

Sara, Lindsey, Lulu, Vinsie, and Elizabeth.

Beautiful faces

God has blessed me with so many beautiful friends.
Beautiful in and out.

*the Asian pose is a plus of course.

Went to church with them tonight.

By the way, if you haven't watched this video, watch it. It's by Wong Fu productions. (thanks Vin Sie for introducing me to Wong Fu Productions).

Evening walks

There's just something about walking in the evening outside that makes my tired heart really happy.
*For those of you who are concerned, I'm not actually tired anymore now, this was from last week. =)
I did take time on Fri to rest and refresh myself. It is so important to spend time with God. "Be sure to make your time with God a priority." This is something that I have heard over and over again and has experienced time and again but sometimes I still forget how important it is. don't neglect spending time with God no matter how busy you think you are.

School

Life is just going going going...that's what school brings you. Don't forget to stop and rest.

A fine summer day...

Streams of praise concert

They came to the church in Chinatown last night. I love their voices and the message that no matter when and where in your life, just keep praising and worshiping God and fix your eyes on God.
Their newest album is "Never Give Up". Let us never give up loving and trusting in God.
This is Sandy Yu, the founder of SOP. She wrote a lot of the songs of SOP.It's good to be among Chinese people and singing Chinese songs to praise God again~

More from WCC retreat

I really enjoyed quiet time in the morning. (and I still enjoy quiet times with God now that I'm back at Moody, it's just not that "quiet" at times...)
She's our president this year. =)She made this flower wreath herself.On the swing.
On the deck.
I have a lot more photos from the retreat actually but for now, I'm just going to post these.

Happy Tuesday!

It's another day to give thanks to God and to praise Him in all that we do.
