Broken Walls

For Christmas, Kate gave me this Year round prayer book from Costco; probably. Well, today was the first day of school for winter intercession. I got to finally hang out with our own Jennifer for the first time since she started PCC. We talked a lot today about certain issues - not going to say though. Now that I'm home though, I decided to open up the book Kate gave me; open it up randomly, like choosing a card from a deck of 50 when it's laid out in front of you. There was one thing that got my attention and that was the date of it which is something personal to me so I won't talk about that. However, as I read on, I totally felt that this was pointing straight at what Jen and I talked about - maybe.

"The Freedom of Christ is worth the surrender of absolutely anything. Relief, not remorse, waits the repentant."

The Daily Prayer:
"Father, Your Word says that a person who lacks self-control is like a city whose walls are broken down (Prov. 25:28). Sometimes I feel like there is so much rubble, I can't rebuild the wall (Neh. 4:10). But Your Word claims that You are the Repairer of Broken Walls, and the Restorer of Streets with Dwellings (Isa. 58:12). Please introduce Yourself to me by these wonderful names and rebuild the rubble in my life. I confess to You that I am overwhelmed by the task ahead, I am thankful that You have authority over all things. Heaven is Your throne; earth is Your footstool (Matt. 5:35). Therefore, anything over my head is under Your feet!"


This is NOT A COINCIDENCE.

Happy New Years to all and to all a good year.

I saw Allan yesterday night at Tan Cang Newport with our childhood friend, Helen. We haven't seen her since we graduated. It was amazing. It was funny though. I was still in the car and I saw him, but I wasn't sure if it was him or not until I got out. I was going to say, "Allan?" but he beat me to it and said, "Jasmine?!" and I like literally ran to him and hugged him cause I have not literally seen him since October. It was so cool getting to see them there, out of all places around this area, and catching up on old times. Allan's family and Helen's family got to sit near each other, but I didn't. It was quite a bummer. However, we got to sit near the kitchen area so our food came pretty fast after we sat down. Plus, the person I go there to see was mostly in there this time around and he was so adorable. Oh, gosh I miss those two. Forgot to ask Helen for her number, but that's okay - facebook.

p.s. I kind of feel sad, which is not a healthy feeling for the first feeling of the year. Also, I don't actually feel any different than last year, haha.
