The value one puts into a days work at the office or in meetings could be the same value another puts into watering her plants.
Sometimes, the simple things in life are what allows us to live.
What makes your heart skip a beat?

Just another list...
I haven't done this in awhile, so I thought I'd make a list of things that made me smile today:
1. Waking up without having to rush out the door to go to a meeting or appointment
2. Hot chicken soup for breakfast for my little cold
3. E-mail chain from small group about prayer
4. James 5:16 <3
5. Mommy made dduhkbohki and mandoo for dinner ^^
6. I made my brother "Tadpole in a Hole" for his dinner and he liked it! I love making cute food with cute names!
7. Tae Kwon Do was really silly today with our newest master.
8. My dad's fleece jacket from CBMC that I jacked...kept me warm all day!
9. Finally replied to all the e-mails that had "MUST REPLY" tagged on them
10. Finished embroidering the tree I've been working on...now I'm onto the sheep
11. My cousin is officially a full-time employee at her company!
12. Sometimes, my silly thoughts make people laugh. Today, that happened
13. Quiet time of silent prayer
14. Did a big heap of laundry...still have a few more heaps to do!
15. Cleaned room, finally! (HAHA, most of it was just laundry anyway!)
16. Kind of wrote my first complete song...it really came out of no where

Options
Sometimes, having options isn't always the easiest thing.
Sometimes, when I'm on a date, I have the other person order for me so that for once, I don't have to choose everything.
Sometimes, it's more comfortable to sit back and follow than to lead and make all the decisions for other people.
Sometimes, I just don't feel like processing.
Sometimes, I just don't feel like conquering the world...honestly...I never want to conquer the world.
Sometimes, I think that's having a lack of ambition, but I always remember that this world is not for us to own.
This is my Father's world and I eat, sleep, and breathe on it.
Cool.
Loving hot sweet potatoes and Autumn weather!

You can't google "twilight" without dumb vampires popping up.
I was just trying to get a picture like this and so I looked up "twilight" only to find Robert Pattison and Kristen Stewart on page 1-384989384 on Google. LAME! I really don't like that series...if you couldn't tell...hahahaAnyways, instead of spending my time talking about things I don't like, I wanted to talk about things I actually do like!...Makes sense, right? =)
Today, I didn't have a chance to go on my morning run. It was partly due to the fact that my calves are still sore from Tuesday's run + conditioning at Tae Kwon Do, partly due to the fact that I talked myself into sleeping an extra hour because I can (one of the many luxuries of being a professional studier). Then, I quickly had to blast out of bed and run errands for the cafe that my church is trying to start up. The times I spend with my cafe ministry small group are so precious to me. Praying with them always brings me to my knees and I know the Lord is guiding our every moment, every discovery and vision. Anyways, to make a long story short, I had a bunch of things to do today and I had just finished my much craved ramyun and mandoo for dinner...30 minutes later, I was out the door and running as fast as I could in the dusk (I will refrain from using "twilight" because I'm mad Google didn't know what I was looking for. HAHA).
I've never taken a run so dark into the evening, only being able to see 5 feet in front of my steps. Granted it was only about 7:30, but I guess it's just the signs of Autumn truly making its way back into our lives. The night is much louder than the morning. Man, I had a million thoughts in my head, but nature was chatting much louder than I was. It was kind of like trying to study at Barnes by the cafe...noise coming from every direction, never ceasing. I think it was a blessing that it was so loud. It made me stop thinking and just enjoy what is simply around me. Hear what is outside of me instead of what is within me.
And here I am, 10:36pm, LSAT books glaring at me (!!!), calves sore, full belly with unni's birthday cake...another day that God let me live.
Smile Big,
E.H.

John Legend
Is it weird that I shook his hand, stood 10 feet from him while he was performing, and felt nothing?
No joke, I thought I would be more excited. I'm not sure why, but I've never been star-struck and it was just like that today. I was more excited to see my friend perform on stage earlier in the evening. So weird.
And isn't it weird how easily we change our minds?
What if I didn't answer my phone?
What if I didn't consent to erasing an e-mail written to me before reading it?
Why do we act so passionately only to sometimes, many a time, regret it?
I kind of wish I didn't answer my phone and that I had read the e-mail written to me.
Then I could see the true colors of certain friends and test to see if I love them enough to forgive them. You know?
I kind of get why God is always telling us to be patient, kind, slow to speak, and compassionate.
It's so that we don't act on the pity we have for each other, but act on true God-inspired love.
It's so that when we help each other we're not "helping" each other.
It's so that we would be stopped and blinded from judging each other in order for kindness and compassion to overflow, rather than legalistic instruction.
And, it's so that when we do decide to speak, we speak from both mind and heart, in wisdom and in full understanding.
Man...can I be patient, kind, slow to speak, and compassionate?
Anyways, I was back in NYC tonight for this benefit: All for Africa.
Look it up =) It's pretty cool. This time NYC didn't leave a bad taste. Thank you!

Little Girl
Did you ever stand still for a moment and suddenly realize that you are just one little person standing in a huge world? And then realize that everyone is the same as you? And the realize that the Earth is actually quite small?
It makes me realize how simple I am. It almost makes me feel powerless, more human.
It also makes me hate New York. I'll probably get a lot of grief for saying this, but I just do.
It always leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
One thing I hate about growing older is that you only meet more and more pretentious people and you yourself grow more and more pretentious by the minute. And you just don't see it coming.
Sometimes, I wish I were okay being a wallflower.
Wow, I was so thankful for the abundance of stars shining over my neighborhood tonight.
They were the best greeting a girl could have. God, I know that was you. And I also know I didn't deserve it, but I'll take it anyway even if it's foolish to do so. <3
Smiling big because of God's stars =)
