| So I guess this is my final xanga entry. For the xanga users still remaining, I will keep my account and all my posts just so that I can comment! :) D is quitting xanga too, but guess what! We're both completely moving over to blogspot! I just don't see the point on being on xanga if D's not on it either. I've loved updating on here for so many years, and as silly as it may sound, I think Xanga got me through the emotional, mental, and spiritual turmoils during college, as many of my entries are really letters to God. But fret not, my readers (all 3 of you..), I am on blogspot! Actually, I've been on blogspot.
So if you want to find me, find me here: darlingcherish.blogspot.com
D's blog is here: synnd.blogspot.com
Wow, am I really sad right now? I think I really am! Never knew xanga could make me feel this way.
Anyway, my friends, let me end by saying that the Lord is good. All things begin and end with Him, and that is our relief forever. He is a good, kind, and gracious Father. He is the life-giving, joy-giving Genius who created you. He will always love us more than we know.
D always tells me that he loves me more than I know. But you know, sometimes I think I can figure out exactly how much D loves me. Don't get me wrong- I know he loves me A LOT. But the love of God is unquantifiable. You will never be able to figure out how much He loves you. It's impossible. Not because you're stupid, and not because love is hard to quantify.. but because His love is just way to massive. Bigger-than-an-amount-that-can-force-the ocean-to-spill-over-kind of thing. I just can't get enough of this idea. It is satisfying.
So with that note, friends, I say.. Goodbye, Xanga!

| Pretty sad that no one updates xanga anymore. what about all the memories that I stored on this site? I need to print em out. Anyone know how to do that easily? I have about 1000 entries, 20% of them being pictures. Help! :D | | |
| So many things to be thankful for..
I am thankful for the richness of love, grace, and true joy in my life.. given to me by the Lord. "Grace upon grace, flows down, flows down.." I love that our God is sovereign, and that everything unfolds according to His plans. Nothing is a surprise to Him. I love how He's so in control of the Universe, and that I am just a human being enjoying the ride. My only task in this life is to worship Him, and He takes care of the rest. I can't get over how great our God is, and how a great God like He can love someone like me.
Grace, manifested ultimately through Jesus Christ. In the immediate and tangible distance, this grace allows me to enjoy a life saturated with people whom I love and who love me back.
This past year has been a great one for me. Thank You Lord for everything.
Lately, I've been listening to my own prayers and my letters to the Lord, and I've realized just how trite my words are. How stupid and hackneyed they sound (and are.) Thousands of other people and saints have existed in this world who have offered better words from having more realized hearts and minds than I. Lots of other people have been more honest with the Lord, and experienced the realness of Him in much more profound ways. And here am I, a very un-extraordinary Joann Kong, and I am loved. My stupid words are received with pleasure by the Lord. Blows my mind. Even if I could muster up the most beautiful and fitting words to describe the heavenly thoughts on my mind, would it be enough to capture a significant fraction of anything that's whole? Probably not.
As trite and as overused these words are, Lord, You are God and I am (wo)man. Take control, and have all of me and everything else.
