music to my ears

Because I ride the bus everyday to school now, music has definitely become an important aspect of my life...here are some songs that I have been listening to, as a tackle my first difficult year in university.

1) Give Me Faith- Elevation Worship
This was the first song I listened to on my first day of school. Having been introduced this tune by a counsellor for our fellowship retreat, she told that me that listening to it made her tear up...and it has certainly impacted my life. The lines 'I may be weak, but your Spirit's strong in me, my flesh may fail, but my God you never will.' That describes the motivation that I need to continually inject into my body. This song has definitely reminded me time and time again that no matter how crappy I am, the grace of God conquers all.

2) I Will Follow- Chris Tomlin
A classic song that my church sings every single month...but it was during a Joint Missions Conference that I prompted me to understand the words that Chris wrote. 'Where you go, I'll go...' The calling to commit my life to Him and not prestige/wealth/money has affirmed God's vocation for me to be an educator. Even though God's plan on how I am going to get there is still vague and unclear, but I am sure that if I follow His path, He will guide me to victory. 
Whenever I am unclear about decisions, this song is definitely my go-to because the words remind me of the Leader that is paves my paths.

3) Right here, Right now- High School Musical
Every time I listen to it, it reminds me of that one night when the girls in the 195 clan came over to my house for a farewell party. We watched and sang to HSM3, the best musical movie back in my 'day.' I will be fans of Troy and Gabriella forever!!!! This song reminds me of all my friends, one that care and love me for who I am. 
They really encourage me so that my confidence soars across the skies! They have shown me what it truly means to glorify God through service

4) Hello- Adele
Listening to it on the bus for the first time made me want to cry. Her vocals are amazing and she grasps the perfect emotion of heartbreak-something that I have felt again and again over the past several months. It's truly a God-given gift that she can be able to sing with such passion and emotion!!


....more to come

failure

failure. The way I feel about myself today...I did a horrible job and my head is filled with regret. I want to go back and do it all over again but that's simply impossible. Bible study yesterday was a big mess! I felt like I was speaking about the bible but not being productive about it. My group deserved a better bible study leader and a better bible study. I apologize to my group that they had to sit through that. I apologize to my pre-study leaders for butchering their prestudy like that...but most of all, I owe an apology to God. I'm sorry that bible study turned out like that. It's been hard to recover from this regret but I guess... As God continues to mold me into a better leader and prune me to bear better and stronger fruit...I will listen and dedicate my life to hear what He has instored for me! ~c.h.

slice of life: hospital playlist review

Image
        As a long-time asian drama viewer, my friends, family members and I always critique television shows for depicting unrealistic lifestyles and showcasing illogical love stories. Hospital Playlist is a clear exception, as it illustrates the life of five long-time friends who meet in medical school. They eventually wind up working as surgeons in Yulje Hospital. As they deal with the emotional roller coaster that comes with being a doctor, Professor Song-hwa, Ik-Joon, Jun-wan, Seok-Hyung and Jeong-Won also tackle normal life as a 40 year old. Just like ordinary humans, we often forget that doctors are also succumb to sickness, familial problems and career changes. The "slice of life" drama does not shy away from illustrating the two-fold life of a doctor- both as society's superheroes and ordinary individuals. Amidst their fast-paced work environment, viewers get a peek into doctors' lives, as they work tirelessly to maintain a sense of humanity in a highly stress

The last song that Rachel Berry sang on Glee was a Celine Dion song called To Love You More . This song means a little more to everyone today because a wonderful actor left for heaven yesterday. i just want to share some of the [amazing] lyrics to you "I'll be waiting for you  Here inside my heart  I'm the one who wants to love you more  You will see I can give you  Everything you need  Let me be the one to love you more"  God Bless, ch
