Devotional
As I read through the bible, well.. the first book in the new testament, at first it is a long list of family line of the ancestors of Jesus.
When I was little, I used to skip that part since it felt like it has no significance.
As I read through it recently, however, it made me realize the importance of how and who Jesus was born under.
Of course, Jesus is the son of God, but he is also son of Man. In order for Him to relate to the society, I think he needed to be born and raised as "normal" citizens. I mean, if God wanted, he could've born under some royalty at that time, but that might be harder for Jesus to relate with us.
So the whole list goes on from Joseph, all the way down in history. The interesting thing is that down that line, you can see that His ancestors carried some royalty bloodline. He didn't just want to be a regular citizen, but I think God wanted to imply that Jesus holds some royalty as well.
That's pretty similar to how we are. As I accepted Christ, I became one of God's children. God, not only a father, but He has the ultimate, the highest class of royalty. I mean com'on, He rules everything, and He calls us as one of His own. Yes I was born under a middle class family, but ultimately, from the moment I accepted Christ, I am part of the ultimate royal family. How great is that? There's absolutely no reason for me to be looked down upon, or how people look at me. Ultimately, in the end, He is going to share the things that He owns with me since I'm one of His child, which..... is everything
So awesome...

So I met with one of my friends after summer school class finished, and it was great catching up. I ate some nice chips and dips, and I ate some curry at home. After coming back from Japan, I realized how important rice to me in my life. I tried to go one week without eating rice, but I think my body is too accustomed to eating rice and soup. I don't feel an end of the day until I eat some rice! So Asian, but I'm proud!
Anyway, if anyone have ever watched a food network TV show called "chopped", I gotta say, its one of the best shows I've watched for a long time. Its so interesting to see how people can cook this kind of dish in limited amount of time, and its also interesting to see all these chefs panic with all the bizarre food ingredients that they are required to use.
Great day....great day indeed ^^
