The Man Behind Loki

So… I’m in love with Tom Hiddleston.

I thought I was fairly unique in that regard, but then, recently, I found out that he’s very very very popular with the ladies now.

Oh, my broken heart~~

The cure?

Using tumblr gifs and pics of him as an anodyne.

Skagen is the northernmost point of Denmark, where the Baltic and North Seas meet. The two opposing tides in this place can not merge because they have different densities.

SOO AWESOME!!!

Pennies…wait, no… Dollars from Heaven!

I’m like unbelievably shocked… in a good way.

So as I’m sure a lot of people know, I’m fundraising to go to China to work at a foster home for children with disabilities and special needs. It’s been a very interesting and blessed experience. Even though I just started fundraising a few days ago, the response has been very warm with donations and a lot of encouragement coming my way (thank You, Jesus!).

But this one was the biggest shocker.

My roommate, Jamie, saw my box I made for donations last night and she decided to give me her change jar (it’s a big Coca-Cola can, lol). She was like, “Oh, I want to support you. This is all I have. It’s not much though.” And I looked at it and it really didn’t seem like that much, but still, I was very touched that she would donate it all.

So today, I started counting it for fun. But then as I was counting all of the coins, I got very shocked because it was WAY MORE money than I expected.

I won’t say the exact amount but it was over $50 and it was the biggest donation that I’ve received yet!

Jamie, thank you so much for your beautiful heart. Maybe angels were putting in coins while we were sleeping ;P It really is a mini-miracle. And as always, Jesus, I give you all of the glory <3

Maybe it’s because I know how to read Korean, but I found this more confusing than helpful, lol. 

And now that I’m learning Chinese, I really do think Korean is easy to READ (but our grammar is quite hard compared to Chinese grammar). Chinese characters… you just memorize them… there’s no room to be lazy in Chinese class T.T

I’ve been really encouraged! People have been responding to my fundraising and my trip with donations and encouragement.

I think the fact that there is such a need to take care of these forgotten “hidden treasures” is what is spurring people on to donate. The response has been lovely <3

Thank you to all of you guys who donated and to all of you who have been encouraging me. Even just supporting me with words means so much to me :D

And as always, Jesus, I give you all the glory! Thank you! <3

I am fundraising for my trip to China this summer (June 21-July 12)! :D
I&#8217;m very excited. This is my first trip overseas, my first time going to China, and my first time fundraising. It&#8217;s all new experiences!
It&#8217;s going to be at Hidden Treasures Home, which was started by Loaves and Fishes International (www.loavesandfishesintl.com). I&#8217;ll be going with other Alabaster Group members! Yay! Alabaster Group is a student-run Christian organization for Ivy League and MIT students set on spreading the love of Christ.
I really wanted to go on this trip because 1. I really love Chinese people and the language (I&#8217;m taking Intermediate Chinese at Columbia right now) and 2. I love children. And these are CHINESE CHILDREN :D I want to love on them and let them know how beautiful they are. Since Chinese society is not very receptive and loving towards children with disabilities and special needs, these children were abused and abandoned by their parents. So they don&#8217;t just struggle with their disabilities but also with the rejection from the very people who were supposed to love them.
I would love it if you could partner with me by making a donation, praying for me, and/or reblogging this post and spreading the news.
The donation methods are located in the image.
If it&#8217;s not possible to offer me a donation in person or through mail, you can pay online through Paypal at:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=FVJE8G74R58WN
There are also Donate buttons located in my tumblr blog About Me. :D
Thank you so much!

quote They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and He will guide them to springs of living water; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 7:16-17 (via daily-bible-verse)

I just found this verse and its words to be so beautiful.

Liz on Top of the World-Pride and Prejudice Soundtrack

Lol, I’m listening to the P&P soundtrack… again…

I have this weird obsession with this movie and the book. I’m not really a chick-flick type of girl, but man, this movie gets to me. Maybe because it’s so simple and pure. The world these days seems to focus so much on one-night stands and hookups and etc. Or at least that’s what it seems like in the media.

Sigh… my Mr. Darcy will come.
