The countdown counter has reached ZERO.
I am heading to bed and I hope that you enjoy the flowers!
There are tons of things to say and yet I don't know what to write in this blog entry, possibly the last one before I see your face again.
Will see you very soon hon!

My Sassy Girlfriend
This is the first entry after you found out this blog!
It is amazing for how God speaks to me through all kind of things.
Since your brother canceled our supper tonight, I was trying to find myself a movie to relax. At first I wanted to watch a comedy by Andy Lau about Ma Jong, but after searching for 15 minutes I had no luck finding it. Instead I found the Korean movie "My Sassy Girlfriend".
I have only watched it once a few years back and I absolutely loved it. I remember I was very touched by one scene and I cried about how much the protagonist loves his girl friend.
Watching it again 3 yrs later, God used it to deliver me another message -- fulfilling your dreams. I missed it the first time I watched it, but in the movie the protagonist did all he could to make every dreams of the girl dreams come true. She loved writing stories and he submitted them for her to movie making companies; she wanted to meet people from the future and his future-self traveled back in time to meet her.
This morning we talked about the quality of living that you are seeking for; but those are not your "dreams". Those are tangible. I will do everything it takes to help you reach your dream hon, even if it is through the hard/harsh routes. I know that your path for your Ph.D program is beyond hard, but I believe it is THE way to reach your ultimate dream, and I will walk with you till the very end.
Remember how this morning I tried to be harsh to force you to pray to the Lord the first thing you get up?
Now linking all things together, I just realize that it is Matthew's baptismal service today. I don't know what you prayed about before heading out, but I would imagine that after seeing a dear friend, Matthew's public declaration for following Jesus for the rest of his life, would trigger you some flashbacks and definitely a lot of reflections.
i will await for your sharing hon.

The "Kick"!

God's grace is more than your needs
Dear hon,
So we just finished our 1 hr call! Wow! I believe it has been at least 1 full week since i) you called me first and ii) we chatted so relaxingly.
I must confess that the past few days I had my moments of doubts, that I may lose you. We had very limited communication lately and while I know how you are feeling, I do not know exactly what you are thinking. I didn't dare to think what would happen in that case, as I have never been so much in love before and you are so special to me. But I know that the Lord is sustaining me. He reinforces me again and again that everything is under His control. I trust Him.
This morning when I reread my spiritual journal, like I told you over the phone, I saw again how I was led on the path one step at a time, and the amazing things that God has planned so that I can be with you. This gave me yet another assurance.
It was so great to hear about your Sunday experience, and I was so excited as I know I will enter it in this blog (and thus why I am doing this now before I go to work).
So you were touched by the spirit to make an offering at a foreign church the past Sunday (Aug 26th). Despite that you had little money in your purse you answered the call and offered what you had!! (I am so proud of you!!)
After that you thought you didn't need to use money because your family want to have buffet, but because the meal ended late you offered your sister to pay for the taxi ride which should cost $60-$70, and turned out that it cost only $48 while you only had $50 left!!
And God's grace continued. On your way home you and a stranger both missed the last ride (while it should not have been the case -- the last one must have left early). Knowing that you need to ask your mom to come down to pay for you, the stranger treated you for the ride!!
How amazing!! The Lord's plan is flawless. Your submission was responded by great blessings.
Now I am getting ready to head out.
Love,
Andrew

Fate
Hon, I truly appreciate for that you try your best to update me what is going on despite that it is hard for you to organize your feelings, not to mention to put them in words.
Hopefully you have received by now, I wanted to mail you my photo in suits that John gave me last night. Not that it would help what you are facing in any major way, I just hope that seeing your hon dressed up with a big smile in the face can boost you up. I was not hungry at all and I wanted to mail it first before eating lunch, but I remembered my promise and I ate lunch as soon as possible after my meetings.
I tried to visit the same mail store where I sent the chocolate, which I thought is south of 7 and Warden (I needed international stamps). I kept driving south and could not find it, but found a convenient store with a postage box outside, so I tried my luck there. While I got the stamps, the next mail collection checkpoint for the postage box is tomorrow 11 am!! I couldn't stand that because I want the photo to reach your hands as soon as possible, because while I have full faith that everything will eventually be sorted out, anything that I can help I will do it.
So I left and was trying to think of a way. Thinking thinking I thought it was worthwhile to try NORTH of 7 and wala I found the same store where I mailed the chocolate!! (Your hon seriously has poor memory)
Happily when I opened the postage box tray, I notice that there was another letter stuck there and did not slide into the lower level. I mailed my letter and made sure that they both went underneath.
On my way back to work I was thinking that if I didn't get lost I might have missed this "stuck" letter. Or worse it could have been my mail that was stuck in the mailbox! It was as if God was trying to assure me that every action and reaction are under His control! Our lives are all beautifully intertwined, under God's sovereign plan.
I will continue to do what I can to support you, awaiting to see how fate (God's will) would lead us to!

Give you room give you room!
Dear hon,
It is 6:30 pm, 30 minutes away from me waking you up.
Today has been nice and somewhat relaxing. Lots of things are going on but seem to be going well, at least I perceive them that way.
Continuing from my previous posts, it seems to me that you are having quite some deep thinking. I don't know what they are: they could be induced by your Monday meeting with your uncle/auntie/father combo, or something from work, or other stuff. No matter what they are, I can feel that you want more room to breath, to digest, to think and to reflect.
I will definitely keep this in mind whenever I interact with you.
Love,
Andrew
