1 Thessalonians 5:18

F.I.R.S.T

As you know, I am single. I am told that I am selective to find a man. Yes, it is true. I am looking for a TALL  man. I am tall and my family is tall. Every member in my family except my mother is tall. I may be tall to you all but I am shortest one in my family.

If I met a guy…I should give myself a chance and just stay in the line between him and me. All I have to GUARD my heart until he proves me that he really loves me and cares for me. Then my heart should let it go little by little. I decide what is the best for me.

God made me a different person. I’m continue follow God’s guidance to lead me to a special man. I am listening with my heart. I am trying to make myself pure before Him and share with Him what I have in my heart.

My friends often asked me what I am looking for a man. My answer is TALL TALL TALL. I failed to explain what I am looking for. Actually, my answer is…


My acronym is F I R S T
F – Fellowship – his fellowship with other people as he fellowship with God
I – Interview – ask him about his life, background, job, security and more
R- Relationship – What is his relationship with God
S – Serve – Serve people as he serves God
T – Trust – Trust God as he trust me

National Single Month

National Single Month   

 - Don't have to cook every night
- The remote control is all mine
- My own closet
- Drink chocolate milk carton without use a glassware

- Never buy a dress with zipper on back. I have a difficult time to unzip my dress. I had to go upstairs at my apartment and have her to unzip my dress. my worst nightmare.

- Eat pizza for breakfast and cereal for dinner. I love it.

- I had a flat tire. I had to use spare tire to go to Discount Tire store. I was told that I can wait for an hour. But ended up wait 5 hours waiting time. Not easy being a single. That was before mobile device was born.

- Don't like going places alone. Don't like go any festivals, events, weddings, expo, rodeo, sporting events, watch musical theatre and more alone. I really use a friend to go with me go to. Not easy being a single.

- I borrowed my friend's dog to walk dog at dog's park and hope to meet a single guy there but ended up all women only. no men. Never go back again.

- I love it when I sleep late and get up anytime. wear PJ all day and night. I love it. 


 My dating tips to you all my female friends.

- Find out what is his favorite sport and team. Check TV listing or check team’s schedule for the game day. Never ask a guy out for a date when his favorite team is playing. Best to wait until after game is over then ask him out.

- Don’t flirt too much or you will end up as a stalker.

- Do what he like to do. If he likes to play golf then play golf with him.

- If you want him like you then let him chase you. 


 My story
Lesson I learned. Don’t depend friends to get me a man as a Blind Date. My friends hurt me by fix me up with the opposite attraction such as a short guy, beer drinker, womanizer, senior citizen guy, and Asian guy. He don’t speak English. Thank you for try to help me by fix me up with a guy. But let me pick my own man. Just let me know if he is interested.

As you know, I am single. I am told that I am selective to find a man. Yes, it is true. I am looking for a TALL good man. I am tall and my family is tall. Every member in my family except my mother is tall. I may be tall to you all but I am shortest one in my family.

If I met a guy…I should give myself a chance and just stay in the line between him and me. All I have to GUARD my heart until he proves me that he really loves me and cares for me. Then my heart should let it go little by little. I decide what is the best for me.

Need to Borrow a Cup of Courage?

Courage takes a leap of faith,

grounded in grace,

uplifted by hope. 

 "Wait for the Lord, be strong, and left your heart take courage." ~~ Psalm 27:14

=========================================

Need to Borrow a Cup of Courage?

When you’re down and out and unable to go on, sometimes you need to borrow the courage to move forward. Once you do, a time may come when someone else needs it — and you can pay it forward.

Sometimes when others are in a situation over which they have no control, they need us to hold to our vision of them, even if that isn’t the vision, they have of themselves at the time. They need us to hold in our minds and our hearts the picture of them at their very best — strong, confident, capable and resilient. Then, they need to borrow that vision of themselves to use until they can get themselves back to the place in their lives where they can see themselves that way again. They need to borrow that courageous vision of themselves to make it to the other side.

So to my friend, please borrow this cup of courage, my vision of you. I know you can make a new life for yourself. You are strong, confident, capable and resilient and so much more. Someday you will look back on these days and it won’t hurt you anymore. You will be so much happier in your new life. Until that day, I’m holding this beautiful vision of you here in my heart, and you can look at it as often as you need to. You will do it. I know you will.

Have you ever needed to borrow someone else’s vision of you to get through a tough time in your life?

Leaping for JOY!

 

  I often jump up and down for JOY! What about my heart? I have had a few moments like that. When God answered my prayers. When God healed a place in my heart I didn’t know was hurt. When God gave me strength to overcome my physical painful circumstance. When God gave me a song every morning. When God gave me a creative to design my first Artwork. (see the image) Mr. Froggy who makes me smile. He point my heart to Jesus. My heart LEAPS for joy!!

Teddy Bear Drive

Teddy Bear Drive

I want to start a Teddy Bear Drive.  The purpose of this drive will be to pass out cuddly and furry Teddy Bears to victims.  My goal is to give love and comfort through stuffed animals where it can help.  I am sure that many people would appreciate something like this!  Children like to have something they can hold on to that is warm and fuzzy in moments of trouble.  Teddy Bears melt the heart.

If you are interested to help.
If you wouldn’t mind share this to your friends and ask them to cleaning out their houses, closets, storage spaces, or whatever and donating any gently loved teddy bear needing a home (or any other stuffed animal), I would appreciate it.  If they also can go to resale shops, garage sales, a dollar store, flea market, or whatever and purchase gently used ones.

It would be wonderful if we could accumulate a large pile of stuff animals.  Teddy Bear (or any kind of animals) and any size will be accepted for this effort provide temporary comfort to victims.  I would prefer they be at least 12 inches in size so that they are big enough to hug.  Any color is fine.

I would love for all of you to be a part of it.

Please drop off any donations to your local organization(s).

Thank you beary much!
