warm fuzzies
- when you have your first drink of the day and the way you can feel it just travel through and coat your insides
- getting a phone call from a good friend
- a good piece of stinky cheese
- putting on a warm pair of worn-in jeans fresh from the dryer
- hot chocolate with some good friends
- getting mail, real mail, not credit card bills or junk mail, like a letter or postcard from a friend, or like a signed John Mayer photo (that I got yesterday)
- a good piece of meat
- seeing people you care about experience happyness (yes, I know that’s spelled wrong, see if you can figure out why)
What gives you the warm fuzzies?
one day our generation, is gonna rule the population
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here. So much has happened in the past month, so a quick update. Back at school in Toronto, last year of EE at UT, should be an awesome one. Internship at IBM was great, but also glad to be back in school. Busy, busy, busy past 3 weeks with CCF stuff: awesome SAC booth day/Frosh BBQ, amazing Orientation Dinner, and an astounding Fall Retreat (woo! connect & community) that just ended earlier today. Saw John Mayer twice in the past month. Simply great, as always with JM. Check out videos of the Mod Club show here (including some shot by yours truly).
So that’s what I’ve been up to…how do I feel? Tired. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve gotten to bed before 2 (but that’s changing tonight…). Been busy, falling behind on school work already. But it’s been great, can’t wait to see what God has in store for this year.
That’s it for now, mainly because I’m falling asleep at the keyboard here, but I’m going to end it off with a promo: come to Scarborough Baptist Chinese Church next Saturday (Sept. 30) at 7:30 pm to hear about my Brazil missions trip! It’s going to be great
none live for themselves?
So, my parents and sister are back home now (in the best place to live in Canada, 
). Just saw them last night as they made a stop here in TO before heading home. Can't believe my sister has already finished a year of university. Man I'm getting old.
Speaking of the end of the school year, this always seems to be the time when everyone (in university/college at least) seems to be pondering where they are going. A lot of people I've been talking to, or from reading their blogs, seem to be asking, what's next? What am I going to be doing for the rest of my life? Or as John Mayer puts so eloquently, we all seem to be going through a "quarter-life crisis." I know I've been thinking about this again this year. Should I work after I graduate? Get my P. Eng? Should I apply for teacher's college? I don't know. It's all up in the air right now.
There is one thing I do know for sure though, whatever I'm doing, it will have to be for the service for God and for other people, not for myself. This is my purpose in life is and hence the name of my blog, "none live for themselves." I picked this phrase up from a book I read last year, The Vision and the Vow by Pete Greig. It's an excellent book about Greig's journey in the years following the words he wrote in The Vision and the challenge he gives us all. Throughout the book and specifically in one chapter, he talks about The Honorable Order of the Mustard Seed, which was this secret society formed back in the 18th century (by a German teenager no less) with one simple purpose: to live for Jesus Christ. All of them wore a ring with a Greek inscription literally saying, "no man liveth for unto himself" but Greig used the non-gendered translation, as have I for my blog, "none live for themselves." So I've adapted this as my single purpose in life and I have a long ways to go. But I sincerely hope and pray that this be my passion and that everything I do will not be for me, but for service of God and the service of others.
