A rainbow just appeared in front of me on Sunday when I was thinking of Doug. I was thinking that it is unfair for such a good person and a faithful heart. But, God is merciful and faithful. He showed me a rainbow to tell me that He had led Doug to the heaven through the rainbow bridge. My doubt or question was clarified.
To be honest, my heart went up and down strongly recently. It was because I felt that things didn't go well with me. The self-centered Derek came out again. I complained and worried. The emotional Derek showed up again. I visited two professors that wrote recommendation letters for me to apply for graduate school last Thursday and Friday. I didn't have a very good conversation with one professor. At the first moment, I felt that he was mean to me. So after I talked to me, I became very frustrated and disappointed. I couldn't sleep well at that night. I called Denver at that night around 1:30am. After our conversation, I found out that I was too selfish. I now will say he was the one who let me know there will be lots of challenge in the future. I should have a heart to know and to overcome. It will never be easy to study abroad. It was God's plan for me. He was helping me grow my patience and wisdom to solve problems. Thanks God for remind me all the time to have a great heart and good attitude to deal with my life. He is really faithful and merciful.
I carved "GOD IS FAITHFUL" on a cardboard. It now is on my dest. I wanted to remind myself to have a great heart to look at my life. Here shares it with you.

Greetings Derek,
Yes it is true that we will have some spiritual conflicts, but with the grace of God we can overcome. We just have to remember that He is still on the throne and never forsakes his own. Things do not go 100% the way I want them to derek but I trust that God has a plan for me and he knows best.
I am getting ready to go the funeral for Doug. It is very sad to me because I went through a very similar experience not even 9 years ago. It hits close to home for me because I know how the kids feel.
Are you getting excited about coming back to the states yet?
Farewell Derek,
In His Love,
Alex
