Rain

Mom: It is going to rain tomorrow!

Son: Yay! I'm going to take off my shirt in the rain.

Dream

I just woke up from a weird dream. In the dream I was attending a company event where I was pulled out to have a conversation with my boss and her friend. Then I was suddenly was in the restroom and was about to use the restroom, I found that there was a gentleman talking. At first I thought he was talking to me and I wondered where in the world this man came from. I realized that he was having the conversation with two other ladies before they left. Just about when I was getting ready to use the restroom again, I saw two other ladies, one of which I knew. that was when I realized that there was a second door in the restroom. So I quickly shooed them out of the restroom and locked the door. Suddenly I spotted a little kid still in the restroom laughing at me. I tried to shoo him out while I was opening the door to get the kid outside, the lady that was in the restroom earlier, the one that I knew, came in and made fun of me. I had to shoo her out once again. Finally when the restroom was all clear and I was ready to use the restroom, I woke up.

I smashed two cockroaches, one big and one small, and then used the restroom. The end.

I wondered that mysterious dream, my brain was trying to wake me up from using the restroom in the dream. 

Phone

If I contact with you through email or text instead of calling you, meaning either I am too busy to make a phone call or, I DON'T REALLY WANT TALK TO YOU, but I do have something need to inform you!

Did I make myself clear to you!?

But there are some exceptions, some people are so busy that the only way to get connection with them is email or text.

Growing Garlic From Cloves

Waiting patiently until harvest!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday, on the way to work, I saw people waiting in a very long line for something (must be turkey or ham) at HoneyBaked.

Today, while I was driving to work, hardly cars on the road, felt like that I can shot my eyes and drive.

Norms Restaurants

This was the 2nd time since last time years ago.

The salad and the soup come with the meal is good, but the 1/2 pound New York steak is kind of dry and hard to chew.

I like the design and inside settings are nice, if there is a chance we go again, I will order something else besides steak.

Hi! My name is Alice.

Two times in a month, two pairs of newcomers at church, remember my name while I forget theirs.

I am not that old, but I am getting OLDER!

Remembrance

There's a song called Remembrance, part of the lyrics, it goes,

You've been so so good to me
You've been so so good to me
Oh to think where I would be
If not for you 
If not for you 

Life is full adventures, life is full of surprises, life is full of ups and downs.

Sometimes you just cannot find someone or don't even want to talk to any human being at all. 

The Lord Jesus is my friend, my counselor, my savior, my comforter, my healer, my stronghold, He is my everything.

If not for You, I don't know where I would be now.

Learning

It's never too late to learn something new, even the things that you used to familiar with, don't hesitate undertaking again.

Stroke or injury may make you lose the ability that you have before, talking, walking, standing or even is something simple as picking up things with your hands, don't give up keep trying and practicing.

Still

There is a particular song that I want to share with you. I'm going to read the lyrics to you first.

I want to say hat how lucky and precious and thankful that I have our God along with my personal life.

Years ago when my kids were still little, I decided to take them to some National Parks nearby, Channel Islands National Park, is on my list, it is in Southern California. 

And it is an island, therefore, we have to take a boat trip to this national park.

Unfortunate that the day I pick was not a sunny day, it was cloudy and later it rained, the wave was bigger that the captain decided that we won't be able to landing the island.

During the voyage, my older son was too sea sick and he was lying on the deck fast asleep.
My younger son sat right beside me to my left, my left arm was clinging tightly on the guardrails with my right arm holding on him.
That's when this song, still, came into my mind, I sang it over and over again until finally the sea was calm.

Later one day when I heard this song again when someone was leading worship with this song at my fellowship retreat, I was tearing uncontrollably, then I realized, God was not not surrounded us securely on that boat trip day, He was telling me, I was forgiven at that very moment when I called upon His name.
For I felt guilty and blamed myself to put my young kids in danger on that boat trip.

God is my savior, I truly hope that is yours too!

P.S. Our boat was encircled with dolphins on the boat trip back to shore.

Hide me now

Under your wings
Cover me
Within your mighty hand

When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the flood
I will be still and know you are God

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone
Know his power
In quietness and trust
