| hello friends, i am back. permanently? i dont know. but i have succumbed to returning to xanga to ask for you prayers. i am leaving for italy in 6 days and although very excited, i am also very scared and very apprehensive about my five month long stay there. i know God is totally sending me to italy, there is not doubt in my mind that He made this happen. My GPA was below the minimum requirement for EAP and i turned in lots of things in late. but i'm going. i feel like i am going to italy to break stereotypes... stereotypes of asians, of americans, and of christians. i want to be able to reflect God's love on everyone i meet. problem is, i've been having a hard time loving those around me lately. and when i think about how i've fallen short, i get stressed. and i know that's a horrible attitude because it's not about my insecurities or the ways in which i am insufficient, but it's all about God's sufficiency. please pray for me to know truly in my heart that it is not about me or what i can do, and that i just need to rely solely on Him. please pray that i would extend grace towards those who offend my race and my gender. help me to have patience and control over my tongue, so that i will neither speak too harshly nor too quickly. pray that my mind would be open and that i would see everyone i meet through God's loving eyes. please pray that i would not live in fear, that i would relish this opportunity that God's has set before me, and that i would never take it for granted. *sigh* i suppose that's it. i might post on xanga once in awhile about my trip, no promises though. some people have requested email updates so if you would like to receive them as well, email me. oh and if you want a postcard, email me your address too :) that's it. thank you sooo much for you friendship and your prayers. i will miss you guys a lot while i'm gone!

p.s. please pray for safety of travel too :) thanx! |

| this is what my mom just said to me...
i always thought that since i had two girls, the house would always be neat and tidy. you girls do keep it tidy, the only thing is, i have a rambunctious little boy running around the house, your father. he slams things, drips things, leaves things lying around the house...
