He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees...The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love...Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes. --Paracelsus

starving for my QTs more often than ever before.
yep, that's what it is. i have been listening, talking, sharing with Him everything that i have learned about people, about myself, about Him, but it just doesn't seem enough when i know that things are getting busier. a part of me is ready. ready to end this chapter and start a new one.

closure in all directions....
friday night, my friends bid me farewell. E hosted the bon bon gone gone party; it was too sweet. a perfect night of fellowship, a perfect time for last minute chats...so many people dropped by afterwards even if they couldn't make it to dinner.

i feel blessed.
thank you God.

these six simple words may not seem much on this computer screen, but no words can truly capture what i am feeling or what i have been feeling. lucky is my middle name. i don't think i did a good job in getting to know a lot of people here in SF, but i tried. but that is not the point, i suppose...the point is, i somehow managed to extend a smile to certain people without me knowing. God is using me.

on wednesday night, i went to Judah Ozaku Ya (again!) with my hs bud and by chance, met a brother there. he ended up paying for our dinners. i couldn't believe it...he said: unfortunately, i didn't get to know you too well, and that's partially my fault, but i want to wish you the best on your journey ahead. why did i not make a better effort in getting to know more brothers and sisters during my time here?
at lulapalooza on thursday night, a not-too-familiar-brother came up to me and asked to chat with me. he told me that i've left quite an impact here in SF. i asked him to explain. he said: you're too emotional, but that is why you've managed to touch a lot of people here.
at church on sunday, a sister came up to me and wished me the best of luck...also telling me that it was too bad we never got to know each other better. all these experiences made me think. how did i manage to get so lucky?
