Biblical Perspective

So lately, I've been diving into the Word more often. It is DEFINITELY refreshing and I'm so grateful to have a chance to rediscover the Lord in this way.

Anyways, rather than a long story about all the many things I'm learning and relearning, I've discovered that I've fallen in love with some Biblical names.

For girls: Hannah and Rebekah.
For boys: Theophilius (Theo)

It's kinda funny really. I've never particularly liked "old-fashioned" names but these have struck my fancy for some reason. haha :shrug:

Wait.

I DO have a story from school though. We had a Christian group meeting on Thursday where we enjoyed some food from Burma Superstar and played some Bible trivia. It was my first time making it to a meeting all semester. Towards the end, the class that was starting after our meeting filed in. I realized that I was gripped with an unreasonable fear. I feared that I would be judged.

Some of the people in the class were my friends and I realized the implications of them knowing that I was Christian and that I was even active in my faith. I kept thinking about how I was afraid of how they would react and if they would immediately jump to conclusions about my beliefs and positions on things.

And afterwards, I felt ashamed. The Lord had said we had nothing to fear in the world, neither life nor death because of His sacrifice for us. It's funny, even after a decade of being a Christ follower, I'm not brave enough to really shout His Name from the mountaintops. I'm reluctant to have others not like me because of Jesus in my life, especially those I have to see everyday, and I lack the strength to hold my head high sometimes.

I can only ask for forgiveness and see that there is so much more room to grow.

I will not be ashamed.

Breaking News

!!!!!!




Ok, so not really but I figured that if all the media outlets are going to mess with you guys today, I can put a somewhat facetious title on my blog.

First of all, Happy April Fool's Day! And for those of you in California, Happy Raise State Sales Tax by 1% Day! I'm not sure either one is to be celebrated but what the hey...

So my news certainly is not as ground breaking as the G-20 Summit in London where President Obama is rumored to have given the Queen a gift upon their meeting. (Don't trust ANYTHING you read today!). BUT I did have a personal historic moment today.

I visited Little Lucca's sandwich shop in South San Francisco!
Here's the yelp reviews and a photo:

(It's no longer green though. More of a brown.)

So this place is famous for cheap, delicious and HUGE sandwiches.
I had actually never tried the sandwiches which is a shocker considering I live literally 8 mins down the road. I know, I'm lazy.

Anyways, after having been warned by multiple people that the line for this place is really long, I headed out at around 11:15 to get to the place. The wait wasn't too long actually. It's this tiny little shop and about halfway through the wait, there were about 15 ppl in this snaking line and all of them except me was a man. It felt weird; like they were all staring at me and wondering how the small little Asian girl was going to finish the sandwich. But 20 mins later, I was cradling a sandwich the size of a newborn baby out the door and headed home.

Here's proof:

That's my hand next to it. And my hands are pretty big. Can you imagine how you could cradle that thing??


Here's it unwrapped. Still HUGE. Can you believe that sandwich is $5.50?!?


Here's a side view. Yum!! It's the Little Lucca Combo: Mortadella, Provolone, and Salami. :)


Me, eating my sandwich. It doesn't fit in my mouth.


The aftermath. I CAN'T finish it!! ahhhhh.

So that's the end of my lunch adventure. Back to studying! :)
