been a while but here's what's new...
1) the quietness of my heart (see song of songs 2:7 among others) is being stirred as i look at my pharm class and *sigh* to the Lord that there is no one i see fitting to be a potential mate. that is, there is no one who THIRSTS for the living God... oh man... DIE TO SELF... and stop LOOKING. not only in the "logical" places, but stop LOOKING altogether until it's time for love to awaken.
2) PRAYER for the church in Beijing. especially with the submission to leadership by the sisters. so many strong sisters who are passionate for the Lord, who desire to know him, and women of strong character. but the pride that leads to a disregard for our leaders' authority is one that tears churches apart. prayer that the ones who left will spend time with the Lord and know of his love and his reason for calling us to submission.
3) thinking about going through a day of fasting/prayer to seek the Lord in regards to #2 above and also about the same issue for my own spiritual walk. I've been healed of a lot of hurt from the church and received redemption for my pride that has caused me to leave the church initially. but now that i've been drawn back, there's something blocking that last little push and OMPH between me and God. most likely, this is an issue of my bitterness against my discipler.
start time: Saturday morning.
end time: Sunday morning.
4) therefore, good luck to me and PTL,,,

"O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above."

Hi Annie, this is Elaine W. from VSET. I have been reading your blog (hope you don't mind)... Which pharm school are you in?
Your request #1 sounds a bit similar to my situation here in med school.... and it's not simply the lack of potential mates, but the problem stems from a lack of a cohesive Christian community I can grow from. It sure feels tough at times, huh? But be optimistic (even when not seeking). :)
