So I put a half gallon container of soymilk into my lovely refrigerator yesterday and I took it out today. I shook it like I always do but this time I heard this CLUNK CLUNK sound! I hastily twisted open the cap and peered inside...my soymilk FROZE OVERNIGHT! I checked my other juice containers and none of them were frozen like icicles >.<....is the freezing point of soymilk really high or something? Come on science peeps, help me. I can't eat cereal in the morning anymore...I gotta defrost it like frozen chicken now!
=_=...

Lily Yu is not used to the NEW facebook
So I just went on Pastor Will's profile on facebook and wrote "HAPPY BIRTHDAY PASTOR WILL!!!" because every post under me said: Happy Birthday in some form or another...
But what I didn't realize was that now the new facebook has this little "time/date" thingy on the left side (instead of in the wall box) so those "Happy Birthday" posts under my post were actually REALLY REALLY OLD.
Yep. I feel stupid.
---Will post more later...
AHH IT'S SO CUTE I CAN'T STAND IT ANYMORE!!!
Love,
Lily

Thank you.
I love you all. My wonderful sisters in Christ and my wonderful brothers in Christ. I learn so much from you guys each day. I'm so thankful for all the wisdom you impart...sometimes unconsciously onto me, and the love and care you have all shown to me.
Today I learned patience from Angel. I am probably the most impatient, most intolerant person you'll ever meet. I have no patience for anything...as I'm sure everyone can attest to- and now probably Chuck e' cheese *ahem* I mean Stephen Chee as you have seen me deal with math today. I'm so grateful for the magnitude of your patience. I wouldn't be able to deal with this moving out conflict in my life without you guys. You have all shown compassion, love, and patience for both of us...I need to learn patience. Thank you. I've got lots of flaws but you're all so patient with me. I love you guys.
And today David wrote "I think it's really helpful to read it and think about what applies to you and what does, then if there's anything that your personality is supposed to entail that's bad, then you can try to fix it and stuff too if you know what I mean." That's true. Knowing I'm an ENFP makes things a lot clearer for me. Makes me understand now why sometimes I would rather die than surrender- which can be a horrible hindrance in any relationship or conflict.
In the end, life is about learning and growing, and I'm learning and growing so much each day. Thank you God.
Your sister,
Lily

Just Kidding..I'm ENFP yo!
I just realized my Myer's Brigg test came out to be ENFP...lol...and oh my gosh, I was reading these descriptions of ENFP online and THEY'RE SO EXACT IT'S SCARY! Here are a few examples:
"ENFP children are 'into everything.' Their natural curiosity results in children for whom questions were invented. They often spend long periods of time devising new and original --- but not necessarily practical --- languages, plays, and scenarios."
"ENFP teenagers are agreeable, sociable, outgoing people who like to imagine themselves in the future. They spend many hours wondering and discussing with friends whom they will marry, where they will live, what their children will be like, and what work they will do. They leave no option or possibility unexplored and find it difficult to see themselves in any single job or career."
"To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values."
"Do this, do that!" jobs demanding strict compliance with rules, regulations and procedures, and attention to logic, facts and details are stressful for most ENFPs. Their characteristically short attention span and diversity of interests may sabotage their accomplishment in enterprises demanding tenacity and single-mindedness." <-- THIS IS WHY I HATE MATH! Now I know the reason why I'm horrible at it :p
"ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. (Oh really?) They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it."
And LOL this is completely me:
"ENFPs have what some call a "silly switch." They can be intellectual, serious, all business for a while, but whenever they get the chance, they flip that switch and become CAPTAIN WILDCHILD, the scourge of the swimming pool, ticklers par excellence. Sometimes they may even appear intoxicated when the "switch" is flipped."
Ahhh I feel like the internet knows more about me than I do 0_0
Love,
Lily

...And the sun keeps shining
"Clouds form, winds blow, rain falls....and the sun keeps shining. Have Faith that this storm will pass." - Hallmark
I realize that everyone in my small group has an issue in their life, whether it's as small as worrying about what to wear to Saturday's wedding to as big as issues about life, love, and relationships, or legal conflicts with roommates, or just overall feeling suffocated by life or by your living situation. I'm humbled however by the even greater worries that mankind face every day...or rather the kind of worries that people outside of our luxurious, sheltered world have to face each day. Here are some pictures that I want to share with you:
If you think your salary is low, how about her?
When you feel like giving up, think of this man:
If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?
If your society is unfair to you, how about her?
I feel like I've been plunged into freezing, cold water. And I've surfaced...humbled. My mind is clear now. I wonder what kind of person I would be if I'd grown up from that sort of environment where I would use flattened bottles for shoes and corpses as entertainment. I wonder what kind of person I would be if I've never had a good meal in my life, and have never known luxury at its finest. If I was that kind of person, and I got the chance to come to America, come to Gracepoint...I think I would explode with gratefulness. I think I would never complain; I think I would find joy in the smallest, most banal things that people overlook each day. And food...oh man- I think I would cry with tears of joy every time I see it. Oh, how rich and full our lives are! I'm so thankful.
I think this can be an analogy to when we finally go to heaven and meet our Father. I think it'll be like entering America...for those kids...but x somehugeridiculousnumber. I don't think we'll know true joy until we're there. I don't think we'll know what richness really means until we're there. I don't think we'll know what the word "awe" really means until we're there. I know it'll be wonderful.
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth..." Matthew 6:19 because God has already provided all the treasures in Heaven for you, He has already ordained a place for you there, and is just waiting for you to finally come home.
I don't know what my point in this post is...I'm half rambling but half ruminating on the way I live my life. I guess I'm just trying to shine a light in the darkness. I re-read John:1 yesterday and the line "The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it" struck out to me. I don't know but sometimes I can relate with that statement "the darkness has not understood it..." It's hard, sometimes, to turn to God for your problems. But "Light of the world...he stepped down into darkness...opened my eyes...let me see."
God wants to be in every part of your life, he purposefully stepped into darkness...to share our troubles and to carry the burden with us. He loves us so much but we take it for granted sometimes...or even worse, we don't always think that's true. I know at times when rage or stress takes ahold of me, or when I can't handle something anymore...I sometimes wonder "Why God?...Do you really love me? Because if you did...why would you let me suffer?" or... "Are you really there?" But then God does things in His own unique, loving way that eludes me at first but then it hits me like a ton of bricks later on when I realize that He had a plan to make me stronger or wiser...
So don't give up on Him. Sometimes I do, and it hurts so much when I do because I know it hurts Him too.
Love,
Lily

I'm boreeeedddd
Aw man, everyone's writing these profound, thought-provoking posts and I can't think of anything to say! I should be doing homework...as a matter of fact, I've got a week's worth of homework to do :(
You guys are all at Prayer Meeting right now; I wish I'd gone! I'm not being productive at all. Please visit my apartment some day, I'm lonely and bored :( Betty's gone because she's going to sleep over at her friend's place so I'm allll bored and aloonnnneee in this tinnnnyyy studio by myself- okay. I'm delirious.
I was thinking about Jenny's post today and listening to the podcast for last week's Sunday service that I missed. I wish I had been there to see the slides...especially the one about Pastor Will that caused the entire church to explode in laughter (I think I just went "Hehehehe...heh.....ughhhh...why am I laughing?! I can't even see the picture!"). I also think I fell asleep during the last quarter of his sermon because when I woke up, I couldn't remember whether I had dreamed his sermon or had actually been listening to it. -Sigh- Aish come back soon guys! From Prayer Meeting! And visit me...if you have the chance.
Just positively miserable (okay...I'm exaggerating),
