So there's this question that's been stuck on my mind this whole week:

What's my dream?

For small group last Sunday, we discussed this question and honestly, I don't remember how it even began but I just couldn't stop thinking about it after that day. I realized after stepping out of the church that I couldn't get myself to think of even one thing I can be passionate about. Anything that I would want to work hard towards. I know at the age of 20, it seems I have a lot of time, but being me, it doesn't feel that way. Time flies. I never liked the idea of "too late".

Today I brought up this question again and I have to say, my small group gave me a lot of encouragements. Especially the part about the difference between destiny and vision. I think this whole big picture has reminded me again of the bible verse in Psalm about waiting upon the Lord.

"Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD."
Psalm 27:14

I lack the MOST in patience. Anyone who knows me well, patience is something that brings out the ugliest side of me. Yet I feel like just this trip to Taiwan is what God's challenging me with: patience. And it's a kill so far, to be honest. It just feels like every single day, he places someone next to me that drives me insane in order to show me what patience really is. Bah.

One sister brought up a really good point today though: that when we're in difficult situations that challenges us to trust in Him, we don't deny the fact that He exists; we start to doubt where His heart is at and if He's really listening to us at all.

Patience and trust.

Breathe Teyen...



ON THE GOOD NEWS... I've gotten A's on all my exams so far!! YAY FOR STUDYING!!

I need sleep. Someone told me I'm a pinch away from panda eyes today (ahem ANDREW AND XINYI).

Good night.
