Today marked TJCAC’s 20th anniversary celebrations. It was really neat to be able to flip through the wonderful scrapbook and watch the DVD slideshow (2 hours long!!!). So many memories… Since I’ve grown up in TJCAC, I’ve seen a lot of people come and go. And having a bit of change-phobia, its nice to know that some people have stuck around. It will be neat to see who will be at Jaffray’s 30th anniversary banquet:)

Yesterday night was my 22nd birthday celebration. It was fun sharing a meal, cake and movie with a few of the friends I’ve made along life’s journey thus far…it meant a lot to me that you guys came out. Even though I often feel unworthy of your friendship, I thank God for you. I think it shows that you guys are graceful for putting up with me for X number of years:P

I’ve liked this Chinese song for a long time…finally got the chance to look it up. It talks about praising God giving meaning in life..I think. My chinese ain’t so great, but enjoy the funny youtube video:)

全因為你 - All because of You

English translation by Kenneth Leung and Jacqueline Leung:) (Copyright 2008)

常言道：人生像演戲，回看這生精彩：因有你，
There’s an old saying: life is but a stage.  Looking back, my life has become so wonderful only because of You.
 
人在世永恆何在？或如流星閃耀掠過，是你令我人生找到靠依。
Where can one find eternity? It’s just like a shooting star flashing across the dark sky.  But in You I find my hiding place.

死蔭幽谷中，你伴我過渡，歡欣裡，風光裡你共我同在；
In the valley of the shadow of death, You walk with me side by side; You celebrate with me in my rejoicing and good times.

當身處孤單傷痛，來擁我入懷，你是我神，是我奇妙救恩。
When suffering in solitude, you embrace me. You are my God, my wonderful Saviour.

全因為你，令我一生都佳美，你令我生命從空虛，化做傳奇；
All because of You, my life has become so wonderful.  You have turned my life from nothing to a miracle.
 
無論我壯如紅日，或如黃昏般漸漸老，是你令我如鷹般高飛。
Whether I’m  strong like the red hot sun, or fading weak in the evening dusk, You keep me soaring like an eagle.

全因為你，令我一生都佳美，你令我生命從空虛，化做傳奇；
All because of you, my life has become so wonderful.  You have turned my life from nothing to a miracle.

唯獨你是我拯救，我總不至死，直到永遠，從心底讚美！
You are the only one that provides me salvation, that I have eternal life.   I will praise You from the bottom of my heart, forever and ever.

It’s a winding road…

Still don’t know where it goes.

I am thankful for the quiet summer I had this year. Although I didn’t get to play softball, which is a big deal for me (I’ve played pretty much every summer that I’ve been in Toronto), I’m glad I had the extra time to myself. As well, I didn’t take on any “leadership” roles, which is a nice change… Last summer was such a drain with running around trying to do everything and hang out with everyone. I’ve learned to be happy without always having to be around people. My summer consisted mainly of school and work, but it was pretty refreshing:)

The “new term” for me officially began on Tuesday. I’m still at the same co-op position at the same company, so the things I’m doing are the same. But now I have a new co-worker - a kinesiology student from UW as well. I’m still getting used to the transition…I miss my old co-workers and I keep thinking they’ll just show up at work tomorrow. I guess I tend to not like change. As well…AH and NP are still in the process of hiring a new research coordinator in place of EM. In the meantime, I’ve been trying to pretend I know what I’m doing while getting the new student can get settled in…

I wonder where I’ll be next year, at this time. I know I’m not alone in this thought…It’s a transitional period for many of us. And many have already moved on to grad schools and further studies. I’m still holding onto the hope of getting into OT, but I know I have to be realistic and seek alternate options. Although I sometimes get bouts of anxiety when thinking about the future (and not knowing what will happen), I know that God has been faithful and He will lead me to where I’m supposed to be. So no worries.

Summing up the week:
Asian legend X 2, Hollywood Gelato, Gr 12 night, Transformers, and Jack Astor’s + skinny jeans.
