A Random Poem for Good Friday

Shame and pain,
He took it all;
fame and gain,
He gave us all.

"It is finished,"
He said on the cross;
his mission accomplished,
He is the Boss.

Why do you doubt?
You're no longer in debt.
Why do you doubt?
You're no longer chained.

He gave his life,
so we can have hope;
He gave his all,
so we can stand tall.

He deserves more,
Yet him we ignore,
He calls out to us,
We treat him like cactus.

Never has he let go,
However bad we messed up;
Never has he failed,
Whenever we need cheering up.

So come and embrace Him,
He the one who redeems;
So come and worship Him,
for He's the one who deems.

GA Retreat 2013 & Spring Break

Went to Global Access Retreat at the beginning of my Spring Break 2013, and it's...tiring, yet super rewarding. Met with a lot of people from HMCC Chicago, and they impressed me a lot, really. Maybe it's because the HMCC there started up small, so most of them needed to take up the leader roles. But really, their maturity in their faith impresses me a lot. It's great to be in the same group with some of them, as we shared about our lives and experienced God together. Retreats are just really nice. Chilling together as a church somewhere far away, with God's presence so real every single day. It's a bliss.

Spring break has been...food (good) to me. Spent all my days out in the Downtown and Kerry Town area, trying out all the good food. It's pricey, I know, but at least the next time someone comes to visit me, I can tell them, Ann Arbor is not really boring, we have some really nice food! Tried quite a few restaurants so far, and they are all really nice. It's a great feeling being able to chill for a week before stepping into the 2nd half of the semester. It's going to be torturous, I'm very confident about that. Sigh..I wonder if it's really worth it for me to stay up late every night just to finish all my academic-related work. Serving in DOCS adds another really big burden on my shoulders. I'm not working, but I feel like I'm busier than all the people in my house. What's wrong with my major, really? Gahhh...anyway, glad to be alive. Lol...too bad Spring break has come to an end. Better be prepared for the coming weeks. God bless me. Stay strong :)
