i've noticed a metamorphosis in my musical tastes over the past couple of years. not too long ago, i would term my musical interst as "bubble-gum pop" (boy-bands, teeny boppers). then, for a while, i was into contemporary instrumental music (jim brickman and the like). after that followed my "folk" music phase ... (jack johnson, late caedmon's call stuff ...), followed by my neo-folk-alternative music (john mayer, jason mraz) ... now i'm into jazz ... kksf music. dave koz, kenny g, brian culbertson ... speaking of whom ... i just bought a brian culbertson cd ... he's a jazz pianist ... excellent cd ... mmmmm ... yummy.

lalala ... potluck at oleg's tomorrow ... what to make? :o[

blessed be Your name
when the sun's shining down on me
when the world's all as it should be
blessed by Your name

blessed be Your name
on the road lined with suffering
though there's pain in the offering
blessed be Your name

every blessing you pour out i'll turn into praise
and when the darkness closes in, Lord
still i will say

blessed be the name of the Lord
blessed be Your name
blessed be the name of the Lord
blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
my heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name!

i joined a aacf (pronounced "double-a see ef", not "ay ay see ef". were it the latter, i would have used the adjective "an" rather than "a") ... :-D ... anyhoo ... gonna start meeting on mondays. ooooh ... scary harry. chi's funny. one of his friends visited aacf and wrote about it in her xanga. she talked about the worship team. chi asked if aacf had worship teams. i said yes. then he said, "so you have more than one team competing against each other?" ... haha. funsies.

you said
ask and i'll give the nations to you
oh Lord
that's the cry of my heart

i haven't heard this song, but the lyrics are lovely

You confide in those who fear You
Share the secrets of Your heart
Friendship given to those who seek to
Honor You with every part
Though i'm one with unclean lips Lord
I am crying woe is me
Trying now to rid myself of
All the things that hinder me
From knowing You

Hearing You speak
Seeing You move mysteriously
Your whisperings in my soul's ear
I want the friendship and the fear
Of knowing You

There is one thing You have spoken
There are two things i have found
You, oh Lord are ever loving
You, oh Lord are always strong
I am longing to discover
Both the closeness and the awe
Feel the nearness of Your whisper
Hear the glory of Your roar
Just knowing You

Hearing You speak
Seeing You move mysteriously
Your whisperings in my soul's ears
I want the friendship and the fear
Of knowing You



i think it's easy to desire God's friendship, but it's so much harder to want to fear Him. for me, personally, i know that i don't fear God like i should. it becomes too easy just thinking of God as kind and loving; we forget that He's also the king of the world, the almighty, and the punisher of the wicked.

Your love makes me sing

WOW!

aacfers came by and dropped off a care package for me at my apartment! they gave me a little mug thingy stuffed with asian candies! wow. so nice of them. it was very bizarre, though, because i was in the bathroom and suddenly i hear michael knocking on the door telling me that i have company. they came at 11:30 at night and i was already in my pajamas and had already taken off my glasses 'cuz i like being comfortable when i study ... yeah, it was also really cool 'cuz they asked me how they could pray for me and then they prayed for me outside the door to my apartment ... definitely really cool. i'm so grateful for just having brothers and sisters in Christ all over campus ...

i'll be there

falalalala.

so much reading today.

we ate well today. mmmm ... chi marinated some meat ... pretty good, even though i'm not a meat person ... then i made brocolli and carrot stir-fry. a little salty, but not bad. oh yeah, i made sausage rice, too. my mom gave me the idea. i threw in a spicy hot-link in the rice cooker while i was making the rice. mmmm.

my tummy hurts now.

ugh. tomorrow ... yuck.

oh yeah. at aacf today i learned that they don't play "duck, duck, goose" in the midwest. they play "duck, duck, grey duck" or "duck, duck, brown duck." i guess it's 'cuz they don't have geese out there ... haha.

so ... tiring day.

just got back from aacf. God really is good. I didn't really feel like going, but I just decided to go because I knew I should. I'm glad I went, though. I was really blessed. We talked about AACF's mission for this year. "To create a hunger for God, witnessing as an irresistible community of Chirst-like followers." We talked about how to maintain a hunger for God. Then we broke up into smaller groups to talk with people. I met these two freshmen twin girls. They were really nice. I also decided to try joining a small group. Hmmm ... I don't know if I'll really have the time, but I believe that this is something God wants me to do, and that He'll give me the time and energy to complete it. We'll see.

Off to work now.
