Robin,ย Carly, and Jo have all nominated me for the 3 Day 3 Quotes challenge, so I’m going to add them together and make this a 9 Day 9 Quotes challenge! ๐ Thanks guys, this is going to be so much fun! (Though I don’t know if I’ll nominate three bloggers each day; I think I’ll nominate one per day since I’m doing 9 quotes.) I posted one yesterday as well for the Sunshine Blogger Award, so I guess this will be 10 days of quotes. (And then Penelope Grace shocks all of her readers by going from posting once a week to posting ten days in a row. ๐ฎ ๐ )
The rules:
- Thank the person who nominated you.
- Post a quote for three consecutive days, one quote each day.
- Share why this quote appeals to you so much.
- Nominate three different bloggers for each day.
Fun story… back in 2016, I shared several of my favorite quotes and Bible verses on images I took or made, so I’ll be reposting a few of those. But I also plan to make a few new images with quotes if I have time. ๐
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
So this one… I like it because it is a reminder that if we keep persisting, we can reach the goalย if it is in God’s will. God could have taken the snail and brought him to the ark, but then the snail would have missed out on the journey that God may have had in store. He doesn’t always give us an easy way to get to wherever He asks us to go. We must keep pressing toward the goal. โค
I love that quote, it says about a big part of my life. Very good, Grace.

Yes, I went to Bible college for undergrad, then seminary for my first grad study. But I was recruited to teach in public school in Los Angeles, so I changed to education, went on to study for another grad study in education and even got my doctorate in education, because I had to renew my administrative credential, by studying one extra year, I got my credential and doctorate. โค

No, I was going to go back to Hong Kong and be the Christian Education director for the church headquarter, When the job offer came plus sponsor me to become US citizen, I prayed very hard, then the following week, everything fell into places for me to stay. I took it as a confirmation from God and accepted the job, ๐
