His Kindness, My New Life

Quotes for today:

"Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." - Mark Twain

     With all the great kindness and amazing things happening to my life, I give thanks to my Lord Almighty.  Life has been good ever since I set my priority right.  Going back to school to finish my bachelor degree has been my dream for years, but due to many circumstances of life that dream has been placed on the back burner.  God is amazing and when I refocus my life according to His plan then every thing falls in its place beautifully.

     With the encouragement from my Mama (My mother-in-law,who is a godly woman and this is the way I call her. She has shown me great support and welcomed me to the Berg family and she addressed me her daughter when Kevin and I got married.), that I had summited an application for scholarship and wrote an essay to explain my intention for my education and goal.  The essay reflects how great our Almighty God is to turn my life around and how wonderful it is with all the kindness, acceptance and encouragement I've received from people surround me.  The essay is posted under the title "Why Me."

     I was so scared about going back to school, because my low self-esteem that I thought to myself that I was old, it's been 20 years away from college, and English is not my mother tongue...etc.  But when God is in my side the fear has gone.  God turns things around for my best interest to glorify His Holy Name.  It's been three semesters now and I took 5 classes in last two semesters, and two classes in one summer.  God shows me that when I do my best and He will takes care the rest.  I've been doing great with GPA 3.74 in Spring 2010 and 3.94 in Fall 2009.  I know clearly that it's not just putting my effort then I can have good grades, but because God always keeps His promises just as written in Proverb 3:5-6. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."

     I'm thankful about my life as it is written in Hosea 14:7 "Men will dwell again in his shade.  He will flourish like the grain.  He will blossom like a vine, and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon."  The other Bible verse helps to remind myself and examine my life, which is written in Hosea 14:9 "Who is wise? He will realize these things.  Who is discerning?  He will understand them.  The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them."
