I've been home for a little bit more than a week, and it is great being home.
Jason and I drove down from Bloomington, Indiana right after my last exam on Friday the 7th, and arrived the next day at 3am. We took only two breaks over the span of 11 hour-drive, both times for filling up the gas tank, which was truly with God's mercy that we were able to reach a station both times before we were fully out of gas. Actually, it was more like 3 breaks-- Jason was falling asleep at around 5pm (during our normal orchestra time... go figure!) and took my mom's advice to take a short nap with the car parked.I didn't count that one because I was deep asleep for the first 5 hours of the trip :)
God was so faithful and so gracious to me. He has proved himself to be in control of everything as Jason took the courage to ask my parents for my hand (I know I wasn't supposed to know about this... but... I guess Asians just do it a little bit differently? ;) This was the trial that I was talking about in my previous entries before coming home. God has truly amazed me just how much he knows; His plans are always perfect as long as I have faith in Him! Long story short, He has prepared my parents' hearts the way I would have never thought of, and before I knew it, He has prepared the way for Jason and me two weeks before we arrived home.
Praise the Lord!
My parents have semi-approved Jason's proposal, mainly because my dad wants Jason to have somewhat of a plan in mind (mostly two things: a simple plan on what to do next and what to do financially.) And most importantly, my dad wants to make sure Jason is faithful to having an intimate relationship with God through at least an hour a day of prayer and devotional time; he said that he would check on Jason after a couple of mouths. Praise the Lord for my loving father who has put his eyes unto the eternal treasure, and wants to make sure that I am under an authority that fears and loves God!
The four of us--my parents and the two of us-- really enjoyed each other's company:) We had lots of sweet time of fellowship, and God's love was truly with us throughout the week. I praise the Lord for His perfect plan-- I thought I had to come home and fight, but by just simply trusting in God and putting my faith in Him, He has done everything for me.
I praise the Lord for everything!
Love,
Anna
