happy 19th.

Today is my 19th birthday. Nineteen years ago, God decided to have me on this earth to live a life full of His love and grace. Praise God, His promise never fails, 19 years later, here i am as a young lady living the fullness of my purpose driven life. He has so much grace over me throughout the entire 19 years, even when i was a infant.
Mom told me this when i went back to china 2 months ago.
Couple days before i was born, she was at the hospital getting ready to give birth to me. There were some nuns from a local church came to the hospital visiting a sick lady, who was next to my mom. The nuns were pretty nice, they started sharing how they believed in God and all the testimonies. Mommy was lying on her bed doing nothing, so she overheard all the conversations, and of course, the life changing testimonies.!! Just by overheard a simple testimony, inside of mommy's heart she was literally thinking, "Wow, go to church and believe in God is such a wonderful thing. I'm gonna bring my daughter to church one day and believe in God."
Isn't God real??? when mommy shared this with me...tears were bursting our of my eyes!! How great is my God?? Seriously, it is not a coincidence that you and i are here, WE ARE THE CHOSEN ONES!!!

let me end my birthday blog with Psalm 139. Obviously,David got this very clear revelation of who he was in God, and who God is in him.

1 O LORD, You have searched me and known me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. 3 You comprehend my path and my lying down, And are acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O LORD, You know it altogether. 5 You have hedged me behind and before, And laid Your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is high, I cannot attain it. 7 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? 8 If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there. 9 If I take the wings of the morning, And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 Even there Your hand shall lead me, And Your right hand shall hold me. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall[a] on me,” Even the night shall be light about me; 12 Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, But the night shines as the day; The darkness and the light are both alike to You. 13 For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;[b] Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. 17 How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! 18 If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You. 19 Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God! Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty men. 20 For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.[c] 21 Do I not hate them, O LORD, who hate You? And do I not loathe those who rise up against You? 22 I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies. 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me, and know my anxieties; 24 And see if there is any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.
