World Missions #3

So I was like 30 minutes late hehe sorry Yahni :3
They worshipped for a while.. and then there was a really long sermon/testimony, but it was real interesting. It was kind of similar to the sermon at HOC5 last week, it even had the same Biblical references, but a different way to approach and explain the reference I guess.

So it got me thinking. Matthew 10:39 says

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

I remember Pastor Chan talking about this last week. And it reminded me how materialistic I've become. Living in Cupertino, everyone's just so rich and they almost get everything they want. It's really pressuring sometimes, especially for my sister, because we want to be like our friends and have the things our friends have and we know we can't yet we still try so hard to. We're not like the other people living in this area, if this had happened earlier, we might not have had the friends we have now. We want the same clothes, the same money to hang out with friends. I had to borrow a friend's dress for HC, and I haven't been eating out with friends lately.

But then today I was reminded that none of these things will ever matter in the long run. Sure, for the time being I'll feel satisfied. But I'll always feel empty after every single worldly thing I do and want - because I was not created to do those things. I just pray that this will always stay in my mind.

And Yahni is so admirable at World Missions I wish I could be like her sometimes haha. I guess I was made to be a follower. I mean without followers, what good use are leaders, right? XD

Sarah's church tomorrow morning! :]

Oh yeah and today I wore my Starfield shirt to SATs, just because I felt like it. And I wasn't planning to go to World Missions today but I ended up going --> back to Emmanuel! XD Haha it's fate! OH and also I picked up this like uhh "YW magazine" or something, and the inside flap had a picture of rolled up jeans with converse - which was EXACTLY what I was wearing when I went to World Missions LOL. So I brought an issue home because I feel like God is calling me to read it hehe.
